Sketchup model

Because I am not familiar with the topography tool on Sketchup, I only did a digital model for the Plains house which has flat terrain.

The walls would be made of brick or earth with styrofoam insulation. If the walls are of earth, extra support around the windows is needed so I showed masonry around the doors and windows as well as on the corners of the house for reinforcement. The roof tiles would be the local clay tiling that is native to Nepal.

Axonometric drawings

The axonometric drawings originally blocked out a lot of the important features of the designs so I used a kind of modified version. The pieces that would have been hidden from view are drawn in a very light line weight while the features that would be visible are drawn in a darker line weight.

Final plans and sections

Hill house floor plans

For the house meant for the more hilly region, I based the dimensions off the plains region house. The layout is very similar with the difference being the two floors. Upstairs would be a residential area as well as the left side of the house. The right side of the house is a public area and the kitchen.

Plains house semi-final section

The next step after this is a final section in ink! 

Plains house plan

Using the square footage of the Congo house I established the ground-level dimensions of the Nepal plains house. The main section of the house is about 50x34ft and the kitchen is about 13x13ft.
After looking at it more closely, I might widen the hallway by about a foot, but overall this is pretty final.
