LDD-13 · South Bay Layout
One-line intent
Workflow-driven system, not just space allocation — west = production, middle = service, east = parking.Locked decisions
- Overall: 60' E–W × 30' N–S
- LOW above (second floor)
Layout (rooms overlap with transport spine — not strictly linear)
- Equipment room (~10' × 13', tucked into corner, shares wall with mezzanine)
- Workshop WC (shares the equipment-room corner)
- Workshop main (~23' × 16' work zone with 7' clear transport spine — multi-use thoroughfare, not a dedicated hallway)
- Service zone (overlaps workshop transport spine)
- Material lift — 6'×7' shaft, 5'×6' platform. Asgard Press inventory transport between ground and LOW; NOT a passenger elevator. Out of passenger-lift codes; falls under industrial material-lift / dumbwaiter classification.
- Hybrid receiving / storage bay (Asgard Press operational zone)
- 3-car garage bays
Open items / engineer review
- Dimensions don't close at 60' — equipment 10' + workshop 23' + lift 7' + hybrid + 3 garage bays (~27–30') exceeds 60'. Reconcile.
- Lift specs — capacity? hydraulic vs traction? code-compliant openings?
- Hybrid bay function — packages? vehicles? equipment?
- Garage door type, width per bay, opener, glazing
- Equipment room ventilation + cooling + acoustic treatment
Cost drivers (revised — lift reclassified)
- Material lift (Asgard Press inventory, not passenger): dumbwaiter / industrial material-lift = $5–15K installed. Previously $25–55K passenger class, corrected.
- 3 garage doors with operators: $12–27K
- Hybrid bay door: $3–6K
- Equipment room buildout (mineral wool reused from LDD-11 spec): $3–6K
Builder's response (Round 2, accepted)
- Lift SPOF — withdrawn. Material lift only; failure = inventory stays on ground for a day.
- Dimensions reconciliation — withdrawn. Rooms are nested/overlapping, not linear; my misreading.
- South face thermal — withdrawn. Insulated sectional doors + south solar gain (winter) + 4' overhang (summer shading) is correct passive solar logic.
- Equipment room noise — solved by reusing mineral wool + double-stud already specified for habitable zones; not a separate $4–8K add-on.
- Workshop / hybrid overlap — confirmed: hybrid east side, transport spine through lift to LOW.
Remaining air-gap concerns (much shorter list)
- Equipment room: verify mineral-wool spec extends here in construction drawings.
- Material-lift vendor + maintenance regimen still worth documenting — even residential dumbwaiters have wearing parts (cables, motor).
