Initial sketches

These are the sketches that were created at the very beginning of the project and these helped with the initial ideas. Some of these ideas made it to the final stage of design and others were discarded. 

I considered having long narrow windows at an early stage.

First instance of the cladding channelling rainwater for collection

There was an idea for having the wind turbines under the building but this was abandoned because it wasn't a very efficient location for the turbines to to capture the wind. Also there were safety concerns. 

First instance for the slanted window seen in the final design and also the vertical cladding.

First instance of the addition of a balcony and spiral staircase entrance. A version of this made it to the final design
