Placement of Houses on Map

Contour Map

Also shows directions of views from the houses.

Each house has been placed in a specific location to maximise the main themes of the house. The Samford house is on relatively plain land with the rear view facing the countryside. The Bamboo house is situated with the meditative space directly in the summer sun's path, with views to the countryside. The Balaam House most importantly blocks views from the West and with the slightly lower placement of the Bamboo House; privacy has been bolstered. The Exemplar Cabin also has the ideals of the Balaam House instilled into the design. The front is the only part viewable by the public; including neighbours, as the house is built futher out on the hillside. This also maximises views from the bedroom to the falls, the kitchen to the countryside and the living room to the city. Further the private studio on the top level has views to all the main features of the Urban Utopia.
