General Goals for the Project:
1.
to create a uniquely appropriate cottage for yourselves on a previously un-built lakeside property
2.
to respond effectively to the site, with its views, weather and property lines
3.
to create a functional response to the cycles of the seasons and the seasonal needs of the users
4.
to make a durable and easy to maintain building
5.
to design a building that tends towards labour intensive details and promotes sweat equity for the owners
6.
to design a cottage with simple modern forms that, makes a pleasing contrast with nature, has exterior forms consistent with the interior spaces, and is warm and intimate
7.
to design a building that has architectural integrity without trying too hard
Some design features:
1. 1:12 slope towards the lake - assumes a 2-ply mod bit roof with granular cap sheet similar to roof shingles;
probably the most cost-effective and good quality roof when the slope is too shallow to see the roof; slope drains towards the lake; rigid insulation is part of roof assembly on top of the roof
2. 4' overhang to the south to act as solar shade; 2' + overhang to the north to ensure no moisture on the wall
3. foundation wall is shown as insulated concrete forms, 14" thick by 4' high; crawlspace is 3' high +/-; rigid board can be placed all around the edge; typically foundations do not need to be deeper
4. 9' +/- ceiling height at the north side of the cottage; 10' - 9" +/-on the south side
5. 12" +/- rafters to be 32" on centre; floor and roof structure cantilevers towards the lake
