MODEL 02.  NEST WE GROW

 The model has been divided in to three parts, translucent facade, interior timber structure and timber base wall which can protect interior from the strong wind.  

The most tricky part is the timber base. The original plan for making the base is CNC milling, while after discussing with CNC consultant,  he suggested that using 3D printing will be a better solution in this case. 

The reasons as following:

- The base wall is too small for CNC (the stair is 1.25 mm width while the smallest cutting in CNC is 6 mm);

- since all the internal angle should be straight angles, CNC internal angle only can with curve

- 3D printing has a cheaper price, around 10 -15 dollars can be done in this case.
