Under this branch, I will put design tips that I have picked up along the way, as well as point out good books on the subject…
With an Earth Sheltered home, the Design Tips and Tech Notes are strongly inter related, but still different enough to break out like this.
The branches under this page can be found in the tree on the right.
Generally, I advocate an iterative, transparent and inclusive approach.
-
- Iterative improvements make many small changes as the final design comes into focus. The plan is worked out broadly before more expensive details are added…
-
- An incremental approach solves each area in great detail before moving on to the next area. Home design is too convoluted to be done this way as you will often need to go back and change earlier decisions.
