Kara, I sense detailing is not what you are doing day-in-day-out. A detail needs to answer the following questions: what materials are used. How do they come together. How does load from all the elements of the detail transfer ultemately to the foundation. How does water flow away from structure and interior space. How is the inside climate separated from the outside climate - where is th econtinuous insulation layer. Your detail shows good beginnings: foundation, rebars (concrete?), pour joints, foundadtion drainage. The transition to the first floor burried in soil is less convincing: insulation, waterproofing? Extend the detail further up to show actual exterior wall. What is the basement space used for? If parking, you would need to insulate floor to the habitable space above or provide a heated plenum.
Kara, for the 1/8" scale section to be meaningful, it should show the loft space, stairs, bridge connection to the residential floors and the canyon. Please annotate sections and detail.
Thank you for your comments. I will try to adress all of your suggestions in the next coming days. My daughter came home from school yesterday with what appears to be conjunctivitis and so we are scheduled to visit the doctor this afternoon. The newest details I have posted I will re-post when I can with notes. I tried to send you an email but it was returned. I will do what I can; now I am off to take care of Jade.
