This is a picture of my first model or my building and the topography of my site. I liked how well I made the models. I also liked how the building fit with the topography. The side that you see is the west side AKA the sunset.

This is a view from the Northwest side and I first thought that the coldest parts of the day are the sunset and night so I faced the curved glass wall west. I got criticism and learned that the coldest parts of the day are the sunrise and night. Since I faced the glass wall west and its in Arizona the building will heat up a great amount.

This is the floorplan of the second version of my building. I decided to put all the utilities on the back wall, my room to the left and a living room to the right. I also put bi-folding doors as my front door.

This is a different layout on the building. This layout is better than the other one because i took advantage of the sunrise more. I wanted the East side to be a roller door to take advantage of the sunset. I also found a way to make my room bigger and the utilities to be set up in a way to make more room because my max square footage is 400sq feet. I also put a pivot door to be able to let the wind to my house and so the I will be able to control where it goes and when it is closed stop the heat from coming in.
