Here is a general outline of the proposed build sequence. Your input appreciated.
1) Site survey and stabilization: This is dependent on the site itself, but the idea is to do the work necessary to allow vehicles and construction to reach the interior of the site and to do a layout of the known proposed locations for construction.
2) Artist's residence #1: This is the first of two very small residences for artists working with the company. Prefab and quickly raised, this will allow a comfortable presence on the property during initial construction, a retreat from the weather, sanitary and limited cooking facilities, and sleeping space.
3) The Pavilion: Eventually this will be an open air public space for residents and guests. Initially, though, the Pavilion will serve as a shelter for construction materials and as a covered layout space for construction and assembly.
4) Establishment of water resource: This will, of course, depend on the space selected, but, be it a well, stream diversion, or cistern, this will be the main source of water during the main construction phase.
5) Parking Area, Road, and Tiny Home Pads: Creation of permeable parking, access ways, and pads for tiny homes on the property.
6) Caretaker's residence: Initially used for volunteer housing, tool storage, and as a construction office, the Caretaker's residence will eventually become the first permanently occupied space on the land, providing security for the site as well as a permanent voice of the Company onsite.
7) First tiny homes on site.
8) Resident's facilities building: Adjacent to The Pavilion, this provides a gathering space, laundry area, and library for the site.
9) Festival Facilities: Composting Toilets and Showers, camping area stabilization, outdoor stage.
10) Gallery and Commercial Space: Adjacent to the parking area, this provides an outlet for the creations of residents, as well as a commercial space for events, markets, art shows, and the like.
11) Formal Entrance Arch: because it's aesthetic.
