Hey guys, let me know what happened after I left. And what are we're onto thinking about now. Maybe a list of issues discussed, things resolved? do you reckon we can fit a meeting in before friday? Maybe on Thursday afternoon? I promise i won't take off again!!

Minutes (off the top of my head, things that discussed while i was there)
-Orientation. Raymond wants the building to be slightly turned to take advantage of the vista in Easterly direction. Jason warns that turning it too much may leave the house too exposed on West and stuff up the passive solar techniques of original scheme.
- Where to put the bathroom? How to make it fit in fairly and logically with bedrooms?
- Relationship between guest and permanent bedrooms. Slats on permanent (to also shield from the more boring view), more temporary materiality for guests? Perhaps even a modulated structural framework?
- Roof. Raymond likes the idea of a big roof covering the whole building. Lena and Trish not so inclined. Jason wants to make sure the roof at least bends down to protect from west sun. There are some problems with continuity and making sure the different roof parts connect and work well with the walls.
And may I add, the bathrooms are kind of awkward as don't forget they have to be serviced and drained somehow. How can this be concealed in a stilt structure? Or will there be a solid core to feed these pipes? To eliminate the need for pumps i think:
water supply from above (roof catchment)
sewerage feed towards ground
????????????????????????????????????????????
