Block 1: 12 March

Today I finished my second Ablution block for my Blue waters project.

The only changes today on the design was the entrance to the male and female toilets, I have the PDF files and will upload them at the end for everyone to see.

The roof how ever did changed but only by adding in and removing of three batters. I also add in new louvers to the design to give the people using the ablutions some more privacy when they are showering and on the toilet.

 

 ABLUTIONS BLOCK No.2 (below)

This is what the was my first go at the ablutions block.
As you can see the plan and elevations are very basic with no annotations as of yet.
Pay attention to the entrance play out as this was one of the main thing to be changed in design to make it easier to for people to be directed to the showers or toilets.

 

 

 

ABLUTIONS BLOCK No.2.1 (below)

Here is the final design of the No.2 ablution block, As you can see the main entrance to the male and female toilets has been altered and shows the people a better way of finding the showers and toilets. In the drawing you will have noticed that i have placed in the new louvers.

This is the site plan to witch my designs are to be built.

 

 

 

 

 

MAIN ALBUTIONS BLOCK. (below)

This is the main Ablutions block as you can see it is much bigger and have more facilities for the people to use.
The main ablutions also have louvers and new added in showers with a fully newly designed floor space, making it easier for disabled people to get around inside.

Full annotations have been given with dimensions and human figures to make the plan and elevations easier to read.

This drawing was completed last week Friday and is still be changed now and again as the design will change at least 40% from the first design.

Block 1: 11 march 2013

To day I stared with the new Blue Water ablutions block design.
The design is very similar to the first ablutions block I had to draw up.
The building is a run down existing ablutions.
I have drawing up the building from scratch and drawin on the new proposed design for the ablutions.
The ablutions must cater for a caravan camp site.
The current ablutions currently have a male and female side each with toilets, and paraplegic toilets and basins.
-The male toilets have two toilets and one paraplegic toilets, one long urinal and three basins to wash hands.

-The female toilets have three toilets and one paraplegic toilet with five basins.

I have extended the original building to now make space for showers and new toilets and basins for each male and female toilet.

It is amazing how much a design will change in the drawing process, going from the placing in of new toilets or the removal of a window that was just placed.

I will post pictures of the design later this week as a pdf file so everyone can see how the original ablutions looked and how they have changed with the new proposal.
