Week 11 - Public and private/ navigation

Navigation through the spaces is crucial to how one experiences design and the image below id my attempt at creating a cohesive environment for people to travel in and around the site. The main mode of transport will be walking, thus it is important to locate elements close together for convenience. I have somewhat ditched the tree house idea due to the comments i was given by my tutor, however i did feel strongly about the importance of being able to be in a place of solitude and among nature. so i decided that there will be pathways leading off the residential area up the hill side to little platforms elevated in the trees where people can retreat and contemplate, perform yoga, meditate, write etc.The views down onto the valley from here will also put things in perspective for them and hopefully instill a feeling of comfort and ease.
