After figuring out the possible sites and experimenting with different adjacencies, a drafted 1:50 plan was made followed by the terrace plan on site.

Three different sections were cut from the plan to show the variations in levels and the different activities throughout the day.

The 1:200 scale contour models kept on the extreme top right corner depict the various trees and the workspace placed on the site near the lake. While, the other images depict the 1:50 model of the retreat.

The above zoomed-in images show the different joineries used in different materials.

A sketch-up model was made to understand the possible design variations and how forces would act on different sides.

The images displayed on in this slide show different design variations in order to achieve a final design of the Cantilever Beam.

This slide explains the reasons of failure and the amount of load carried by the suspended beam.

The above hand-drafted sheets depict the FA and FP building followed by a wall-section made in groups of three.
