Attendance Mark, Paul, Komodo (Arch), Stephen (Engineer)
Design from previous meetings
Design criteria agreed from previous meetings
- Lounge to face inward
- Optimize wasted space
- Flow of rooms
- Optimize plumbing
- Three or four blocks - depends on cost of reinforce ground floors and number of floors
- First block is mix of two and three beds to test market
- Ideal size 84meters 105meters square - not including balcony or stair well 100ft by 210ft size of plot
Critique from the meeting
- Sizes of rooms good, design good
- try and make the outer perimeter of the block a perfect rectangle - apart from the balcony and the stairs
- changing the orientation of the block would cause some of the balconies to be right beside one another - so not worth considering
- parking a problem even an extra few meters would help
- try to put parking underneath the other two block might help add parking spaces, also would enable us to expand the offices and stores as they would not be interfering with apartments
- Balance between bigger rooms and cost of building
- Zen
- put two septic tanks under the parking
- Keep the design of the roof and building as simple as possible and add beauty using natural stones, color, etc
- Involve interior designer as soon as possible - action Paul & Mark
- Komodo to produce a new design for the next meeting
- try to wrap up the design by end April - or at least good enough for NEMA to begin
- Mark to finalise size of the plot with surveyor. It maybe be 64 meters wide rather then 60 which would help a lot. But we may also have to give up space to the council for parking
