Hover over the 3D view and press Space to play; Shift + Left Arrow returns to the start. It opens at the overview of the revised garden layout. Earlier bedroom and reading-tour files remain as previous versions.

Removed the table-tennis deck and all equipment. Aligned the garage with the main pavilion and the meditation room with the parents’ wing. The future east pavilion balances the meditation room; a second future footprint continues the central axis north. Added an oval garden court, curved covered timber breezeway, smooth gravel walks and driveway, 13 flowering beds and eight flowering shrubs. The former play area is now a flower garden. Two concept eucalyptus trees were moved clear of the solar array and vehicle route. The future basketball area remains unbuilt. Updated the 30-chapter tour and refreshed the overview, courtyard, flowers, dining and training renders.
The full conversation context and decision history are now preserved in docs/. Source scripts are retained under source/ for future editing; they are incremental historical tools and must be run against their correct starting model. Survey and LiDAR folders remain reserved for future real-site work.
## Container water-storage revision — 10 September 2026, v005
Marcus asked to make the water tanks a shipping container. Replaced the exposed cylinders with a dark-green 20-foot container-style module (approximately 6.06 × 2.44 × 2.59 m), retaining two sealed water tanks inside. Added corrugated walls, cargo doors and locking bars, corner castings, inlet/outlet manifolds, pump and a first-flush component concept. The container enclosure is not itself the water-retaining vessel. The west end is a transparent inspection cutaway. The garden service path reaches the east cargo doors. Updated tour chapter 13, the plan and exterior/cutaway/overview renders. Product selection, structural/loading checks and hydraulic sizing remain future design work.
