Gloucester Shire Council Harvard Case Solution & Analysis

Gloucester Shire Council  Case Study Solution

Gloucester Shire Council have approved a development project to the family of five, parents and their three sparkling kids. Father named Basil sky while mother’s name is Rosemary sky.The mother of the children enjoys farming and she likes to grow food herself. She prefers to give her children fresh home grown and homemade food.

The area vicinity seems to be deserted, but as for the ‘sky’ family, the council have also approved dozens of similar projects. This means that, when sky family shifts in to their new home dozens of family will also move in. The conception of a new society will make its way to the people living surrounding that area. The people would certainly like to visit the place and given the natural beauty and attractions of the particular area, tourism is likely to increase within a year. Keeping that in mind, the construction plan for the straw bale house along with the guest house, and the garden will be vital. The considerations for the development of such variable like tourism, natural reserve facilities and infirmary effects the planning of a single home.The plan is to produce a solution for the family, so that they remain safe and also be able to live and earn proper living.

The parents Basil Sky and Rosemary Sky would like to build a 4 bedroom straw bale home for their own living, and a guest house on the rural block of the land, that should have 2 bedrooms. The area where construction is supposed to happen is in the town of Barrington. Apart from that, rosemary would like to have a garden that is surrounded, by glass and the shed that should provide safety and warmth required for the plants to grow. In addition, to these requirement a storage room is required that should be cold enough to keep the dry food items fresh and edible.  A preparation room for the fresh food from the garden is also needed, in order it to be cleaned, cut and stored.

The requirement also includes a constraint, they would like to build shed of the garden from the waste products of the home and from second hand materials. The challenging part is that the garden shed should complement the natural surroundings and also be something entirely different and beautiful. The family’s budget is enough to make straw bale homes in best quality,

but the garden will be an addition to it. That will mean, that the quality of the homes may get compromised, in terms of materials used in order to complete the garden.

Now, the demands are taken in to considerations and various plot schemes, plan outlines are made. To name few of them is A) to build the best quality homes using the best quality material and then make the garden shed with the left over. This will not be used, because it will definitely not fulfill the client requirement to make the garden shed as graceful as one can. B) The second would be, to lower the material qualities, to accommodate the cost constraints and make a moderate living arrangement. This will be a risk to the project, as it will not provide safety and warm conditions to any of the three desired subprojects. And the last C) which we propose is to make the 4 bedroom, store room and cold room to be best of the quality and divide the budget for the garden and guest house.The last one is feasible just, because the safety of the family is most important.

Identifying Problems and Opportunities

It is quite convenient to construct or devise a plan for the four bedroom cum 2 storages room. The rooms aligned in such a way that their doors open in the same alleyway. The preparation room and cold storage room is at the back not connected to the house itself. They are at the corner where the garden starts from. To be clear on the schematics of the houses and garden refer to picture 1a) on next page. The garden however is needed to be covered from shed.The design of the glass room is rectangular with a total area of 1000 yards that is 837 meter square. It is to be kept in mind, that garden shed will be in front of the garden so to make sure the garden, tools are safe from the children and it is locked properly.

The purposes one can simply think of can be safety of any kind of dangerous tools a person requires. If the area permits a person can make it a proper working place for himself. If he needs to do carpentry, he can use this place away from children and near to family. One can say it’s difficult, but if the shed is designed in a particular way then, it will also serve as a winter garden. As we know about Mrs. Sky her interest in farming can keep her occupied in the winter season of Barrington town.

The Problem and Context Harvard Case Solution & Analysis

 

Our client want to make one garden shed and want to make it big enough to grow certain daily used food items in winter. So for that it is not recommended to make separate different shed. One shed consuming 20% of the total area of the garden will be allotted, in order to make a good winter garden. The colder areas are often difficult to reach with snow and all that problems comes with it. Keeping this in mind the storage rooms are made to hold enough material, so that one can live a month without going to the urban areas to get groceries............
