I have this cubic design concept with 9 cubes on the ground and a maximum 27 cubes but not neccessary. This may be variant. The first three vertical cubes, I temporarily intend to live in, and most likely will consist of 24' x 28' timber frame. The other 24 cubes, hopefully, will be added at future dates. The southside will face a lake and I would like to install a passive solar system. Also, I want geothermal, active solar system, rain water cistern, a water well, etc. I do not want any part of any public utility system, even telephone connections. For now, I am trying to get a grasp of the principals needed to perform this architectural feat. I am particulary interested in an open environment in the center cubes.
So here is a little background:
I bought 300 acres with half in white & red oak, and southern yellow pine (I am not rich). I have a tractor with front end loader signed for delivery next month. I am thinking about the Procut chainsaw mill with the largest Husqy power head.
I have access to AutoCad @ work and my boss is a licensed structural engineer. I am in the process of designing this cubic structure in AutoCad.
Any advice or dream osmosis is apreciated.
Dan
