Homestead · the whole site

The site in 3D

The house, the workshop and the greenhouse are their frames, every timber placed where the drawings put it. Everything without a frame yet is plain massing sized from the drawings, and it gives way to its frame once the frame is built.

Drag to turn · scroll or pinch to zoom · right-drag or two fingers to pan. Below grade clears the ground and ghosts the frames: the footings, the cellar walls, the buried containers and the lines to the hub. Bunkers turns to the tunnels and cellar, clearing the ground above them. Systems opens the hub: its boilers, tank, water and power. Walk sets you down inside at eye height: drag to look, and walk with W A S D, the arrow keys or the pad; the stairs carry you up and down.

Notes

  • The massing takes the roof heights the drawings' sun check uses, and the greenhouse follows its section. The wood boiler's height is a guess until it is drawn.
  • Below grade clears the ground to show the basement, the container tunnel and cellar, the tunnel under the walkway and the greenhouse's pit. Walls lays the house's and the workshop's envelopes over their frames.
  • Roofing lays the black standing seam on every roof, its seams 16 in apart, with the snow fence and the hub's solar array on its rails. Switch it off to see the rafters.
  • The model is rebuilt from the drawings and the frames whenever either changes.
  • The same viewer shows a historic house on its grounds: the Hinckley House (1886) inside Frank J. Scott's Plate XIII.
