Thanks to everyone who participated in the cabin brainstorm Sunday morning at Governance. Here are the notes, presented in the order they were taken. We tried to frame our comments in terms of 'needs'.
- accessibility
- dry
- warm
- 3-4 seasons, leaning towards 4 seasons
- bug-free and mold-free place for drag
- mosquito free
- balance of privacy and bunk house style
- bunks built for bigger people
- convertible - bunks fold up if not in use, more inside
- space for bad weather
- full-size bunks for puppy piles
- auditory privacy
- available late-night bed space (for late arrivals)
- loft over workshop?
- delightful
- cute
- completeable (sooner rather than later)
- responsive to land
- good fung shui
- well-sited (not in already developed space, between the road and septic mound visioned as parkland with cabins around, connected by boardwalks, circulate in bad weather, public community space rather than
- private, design tells function)
- residencey and event sleeping
- 1 cabin with multiple needs-steward, accessible, and event space
- porch sleeping for summer
- place for land steward and/or gathering steward
- finish the kitchen first
- remember to schedule so that we can have foresters cut and mill our trees for construction
- magical private space
- private space for residency
- floating pods of delight
- peaceful,charming, woodsy
- warm and dry
- fostering peace, tranquility and noncompetitiveness
- etherial music eminating
- elvish village like in Tolkien
- multifunction, beautiful and whimsy
- dog space
- they'll come who don't already
- buildings that support our vision
- lessen dependence on oil
- office space for Destiny - keepable, more than a shelf in the kitchen
- library
- instrument storage
A separate brainstorm of Mac, Bambi and Trixie about the needs of office space for Destiny created these notes:
- laptop
- phone -could be satellite, cell or landline
- brochures, maps, welcome kits storage
- copier?
- lockable (at least a closet or file cabinet)
- bulletin board
- post office/mail boxes
- Safe? for money/credit card
- archives (currently stored at Bambi's house- do we want to move to Destiny?) would need approx 20 banker boxes or 2 5-drawer file cabinets
