This page describes all of the design requirements and considerations for a potential Community Hall / Community Shed

Fitting the same role that the Cottage is currently fulfilling, but adding greater capacity and more functionality

Sleep space

• A few more permanent bedroom spaces
• Somewhere to sleep a dozen humans for quick overnight stays for events (e.g. sleeping mat storage) - perhaps aim for 16 pax (8 bunk beds) that are comfy enough for weekend retreats or even week-long stays for university students

Office

• Shared office spaces for coworking / remote working
• Sound proof meeting rooms
• High-speed internet

Kitchen

• Space for large 8 burner gas stove and storage of many large pots and pans
• Community meals

Function / entertainment space

• Movies area, games probably
• Possible big lounge (almost 'cuddle pile' space)
• Bouldering wall & gymnasium
• Possibly a home-brew multiplayer VR space

Ventilation

Community Shed Design Notes

• Big eaves for the shed (at least 600mm was suggested) will help keep it cool
• cross ventilation
• Cover any naked concrete so it doesn’t heat the building up with heat transfer - either have the concrete pad as the same size as the shed, or shade any other concrete area
• Using the verandah as deck might be possible – split level shed?
