http://i538.photobucket.com/albums/ff345/HiddenOrder/Riegelhaus%20Project/scan0004.jpgThis is a conceptual drawing I had in my notes, it's the basic design of the building but not an exact design based on either of the geometries. This in fact is the sketch I used to make my final designs, so its proportions may vary a wee little bit but it should give you a general idea of the building.
Sorry not the highest quality scan in the world, but I didn't feel like waiting the amount of time it takes for my scanner to take a good image... But this should be adequate for you to better understand the lines on the elevation plans shown
A few notes:
Notice the windows, 1 on each level of the gable walls and 2 on the side wall shown. The side shown has a double door since it is intended to be a workshop. The other side in stead will have a single door located opposite one of the windows, with 3 windows all in a row for lots of interior light.
I will have to make the windows myself I am afraid, which means they won't be energy efficient. To somewhat alleviate this problem they will likely have operable wooden shutters.
There is framing around the windows, but in addition to this there will be substantial wooden trim that will largely cover up the actual structural parts to protect them from water. It is easier to replace trim than structural timbers!
This drawing shows the balcony extending around the end walls, but I won't do that. Instead there will be a window box under the second story window to serve as a flower box, adding to the typically Swiss character of the buildings. (the flowers therefore have to be red)
