Decided to proceed with a curved roof profile. This was influenced by attempting to use conventional materials and construction methods to create something more visually interesting than the average. Also the curve compensates for the extreme wind conditions that impact on the site at Kakadu. The curve allowing the wind to travel and press down on the building rather than causing the undesired lifting effect.
From tuts, we gathered some more feedback where our roof seemed to be ornamental and didn't link into our actually living space so we decided to added a rear curved wall segment which was linked to the Framing system we are planning to use for our shutters.
For electricity, having the option of flowing water, we have decided to use "shrouded" underwater turbines which makes them more efficient, and less environmentally harmful. + the use of north facing solar panels to take advantage of the sun.
To deal with the extreme humidity, we have decided to go with the slatted + elevated flooring commonly used in Queensland housing.
Finally the main floorplan layout is indended to take advantage of the views and interaction with the surrounding environment.
