Feasability Study and Site Report
ServicesAs with many costal towns in Northumberlandthe only power utility is electricity, as a result if gas wanted to be used a line would have to be installed which would be costly. Or gas containers would have to substitute. For this reason likely to stay with Electricity
Height sufficient for an intermediate floor to be installed if needed.
Uninsultated roof using a timber truss system
Single glazed windows with timber frames which have begun to rot away
Rendering:Due to the costal loca-tion and poor maintenance pebble dash has begun to crack and fall away from the structure
Undergone recent pointing of front elevation in places
No wall insulation
1 .Main Building made up of 3 spaces; Main (largest) space where the life boat is stored has outward opening doors to allow quick deployment of the boat in an emer-gency, with the smaller behind this is to accommodate the tractor which is used to launch the boat.

The existing site dimensions where taken from DIGI-MAPS, (2014). The site length is around 50 meteres at its longest, with an average width of 20-25 meteres, The total Site Area roughly calculates at

REFERENCE WILL BE MADE TO THE BUILDING STYLES IN THE SURROUNDING AREA.MADE FROM THICK RANDOM RUBBLE MADE FROM THICK RANDOM RUBBLE WALLS AND HEAVY SLATED ROOFS WHICH IS A GREAT TOOL FOR THERMAL MASS GIVING THE HARSH WINTER ENVIRON-MENT WHERE TEMPRETURES CAN CALL BELLOW 15 DEGREES.
THE ‘RUBUSTNESS’ OF THE MATERIALS HAVE BEEN SPECIFICLY CHOSEN DUE TO THE HARSH WEATHER IT MUST WITH-STAND, MANY BUILDINGS SUCH AS THE CHURCH AND DOMESTIC HOUSING HAS STOOF FOR MORE THAN A CENTURY.

SITE AND RESTRICTIONS
As the sun path sweeps around the south of the bounding at a high level it could possibly be incorporated into the design.
COMPARISON,
The winter sun path is much lowerThe winter sun path is much lowerand as nearby building isvery close no lightwill be able to get intowindows on this elevation.
Background ContextA traditional fishing village with as little as 25 houses and has changed little in the past 100 years and is one of few true fishing villages still in existence. Located Northumberland, Alnwick,England. Though fishing has been the focal point for this vilThough fishing has been the focal point for this vil-lage for over the centuries, this was changed as a result of World War Two with the RAF making a base close by. The main function now for RAF Boulmer search and rescue base, helping to aid those lost at sea alongside the volunteers at the lifeboat station. With in some practises there is a feeling that the sig-nificance of the Lifeboat house to the community has a great cultural and sympothetic indulgence of the area; Robin Kent Architecture & Conservation who have already explored the importance of this building to the commu-nity went on to say
Rear ElevationSide Elevation
From the front side and rear elevations above the typical shape of the building footprint is typically in keeping with the surrounding area of boulmer, with weathered random rubble stone and a series of pitched roofs, the histroical context of this village community on a social. histric and cultural aspect of this type of housing will need to be thought about in much depth to allow a proposal which will be accepted by the community.
