# Request history and decisions
|
||
|
||
This records the supplied conversation's substantive requests in order. It is a consolidated design record, not a verbatim transcript or a claim that every exploratory question has a final answer. Latest explicit requests take precedence.
|
||
|
||
1. Build a simple house in Blender on a lush Samford Valley, Brisbane hillside.
|
||
2. Detailed initial brief: a 12 × 6 m open living rectangle, 8 × 5 m sleeping rectangle, mono-pitch roofs, exposed spotted gum, full-height sliding doors, covered verandah and breezeway, ghost future office/guest/workshop rectangles, native planting, food beds, rainwater tanks and warm morning light. Cycles at 2560 × 1440. Derek Sivers/Stewart Brand adaptation philosophy.
|
||
3. Add rooftop solar and an off-grid array layout, rainwater, greenhouse and garden beds for growing food.
|
||
4. Make the house clearly extendible and materials as natural as possible.
|
||
5. Explore cob, mud, bamboo and materials associated with calm/low toxicity. No final all-cob system was selected.
|
||
6. Add an attractive Finnish-style detached sauna (oval acceptable), outdoor shower, tanks, Starlink and one local AI server without a server room. Preferred palette: warm timber, soft clay walls, selective hemp insulation, stone and honest steel connections.
|
||
7. Explain Blender navigation and add a Play-button camera tour. Spread the buildings out; avoid a cramped layout. Clarify the adjoining building's use.
|
||
8. Give the bedroom its own enclosed room adjacent to central kitchen/dining, via a short corridor.
|
||
9. Explore land area for a homestead with a spouse and three children. No surveyed parcel or definitive hectare requirement was adopted.
|
||
10. Explore separate enclosed, customisable spaces for each child, inspired by the modular idea.
|
||
11. **Superseding decision:** remove the solid children's rooms and leave future shadows. Keep one small room as a meditation retreat with cushion/candles. Add vehicle road, garage, workstation and bike racks. Use a transparent viewing side on buildings to see interiors.
|
||
12. Improve low playback FPS. Keep detailed render geometry but use simplified viewport copies.
|
||
13. Make the garage car a Tesla and the overall concept solarpunk.
|
||
14. Explore a build-and-contents cost estimate. No verified quantity-surveyor estimate or adopted budget is contained in this record.
|
||
15. Scope conversion to Unreal Engine 5; add bookshelves full of books, a reading chair and a simple actual UE meditation-room render. The user installed UE locally and asked about plugins.
|
||
16. Put the Blender project and screenshots on the server under Projects. Preserve it over several years for 3D plans, construction-site LiDAR, Blender mockups and a future Unreal walkthrough. Explain Unreal room camera animation.
|
||
17. Add the Derek Sivers building article link to the public house project page.
|
||
18. Add Eight Sleep, blackout curtains and air conditioning to the bedroom.
|
||
19. Review the user's blog/values for further house ideas, including pull-ups and free weights.
|
||
20. Approve five additions: covered training with bar/rings/dumbbells/bench/mats; outdoor table for 8–10 and tea/matcha; folding table tennis with a future separate basketball area; shaded garden walking loop ending at a quiet bench; breakfast preparation, pantry/freezer and harvest bench.
|
||
21. Upgrade kitchen fidelity with oven, induction, copper pots and pans and a marble countertop island.
|
||
22. **Current layout revision:** remove the ping-pong/table-tennis area because it lacks cohesion. Improve geometric relationships, an element of symmetry, smooth curves between buildings, and add more gardens/flowers/plants. Implemented as version 004 with aligned pavilions, garden court, curved paths and covered breezeway. The future basketball reserve was not cancelled.
|
||
23. **Current preservation request:** create a repository on git.rehbock.xyz that keeps this context and the Blender file. The user explicitly instructed using SSH into rehbock.xyz to do this. Repository setup uses the server's existing authenticated Git key and private push-to-create capability.
|
||
|
||
## Milestones
|
||
|
||
- v001: initial server project archive, public gallery, reading library and actual Unreal meditation study.
|
||
- v002: bedroom sleep setup.
|
||
- v003: daily-life additions and detailed kitchen; 30-chapter, 2½-minute tour.
|
||
- v004: table-tennis area removed; coherent garden-centred layout and flowering landscape; private Git repository and consolidated context.
|
||
|
||
## Still to decide
|
||
|
||
Actual property and required area; surveyed levels/boundaries; planning approvals and bushfire/flood response; engineering and detailed accessible circulation; quantities/budget; product selections and energy/water balances; server hardware; final botanical planting plan; large LiDAR storage and independent backups; full Unreal conversion and interactive walkthrough. Preserve these as future work rather than assuming they are completed.
