I work on maps and graphics for an environmental consultancy, with a lot of work on HS2’s EIAs.
For landscape and visual we have:
- ZTVs;
- Viewpoints and photomontages;
- Lots of maps of the position/direction of said VPs and PMs;
- Lots more maps of landscape character areas, scheme design etc.
There’s matrices showing the effect on visual receptors in various scenarios - construction, operational years 1/15/30, night-time, and also little graphics showing other assessment data.
Main assessment:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/landscape-and-visual-impact-assessment-and-photomontages-lv-001-0ma02 - ZTVs;
-
^for other disciplines - ecology, agriculture, water resources etc. etc. the main visual display of data is via static/2D mapping in these mapbooks - with a few other bits scattered around and/or embedded within the word-y reports.
There’s a load of work ongoing at the mo around ‘Digital EIA’, but at the same time we’re fairly constrained by the regs in that an environmental statement is expected to look a certain way (reports, maps, appendices).

Dull question, but for a small dingy hall what colour is best?
It
iswas cheapo brilliant. I need to repaint it anyway and am going to use one of the dulux hardwearing paints. Just wondering if there's some design trick where a non-brilliant white colour will actually look bigger.There is a reasonable amount of wood work that will be done in gloss white if that makes a difference.
Cheers.

You can get most colours matched in Dulux paints. I don’t think you need to go for brilliant white but certainly a lighter paint. We have Old School white in our hallway.
Good prep will help with things and getting a good clean ceiling and correct paint choice too. That was advice given to me from @Airhead which helped me greatly -
clean ceiling
Hmmmm.... We have a textured ceiling which I wanted changed a while back, but my OH wasn't fussed. Maybe it's time to revisit that. If the ceiling is getting fucked about with it could also allow for another light in the hall in the darkest corner.
It's annoying as I'm trying to tick of every job I can on my days off before I start work, but then each of those jobs throws up something that has more admin.
It also seems silly to redecorate if we're changing the floor, but I'm not sure we want to commit the money to thst yet, so maybe I'll just crack on with prep today.

Yeah I do actually - worse still I realise I wanted the other one (washed not fabric effect!)
Where are you based? Happy for you to borrow it if you want

@giles337 Yep that's the one I've got! I wanted the other one (kc14).
Should be able to post, ping your address over on DM...

Not sure if this belongs here or the extensions thread, so may cross-post...
I'm looking for a window that looks like this as part of a dining room re-model. It's surprisingly hard to find real detail on window options or prices - any pointers in the right direction would be really appreciated

Thanks - just not too sure where to start to be honest. Partly I'm just trying to check this is feasible within budget; don't have a contractor yet...

The reference photo looks to be in the UK (maybe, could be) - google image search its origin and contact the architect/owner? I've done it before and been surprised at the response/success rate
A glazier can give you a sqm glass cost based on requirements/location - they should also be able to ballpark frames and labour, then you'd need to factor in the opening up and new lintel if going into existing fabric... do you have an architect?

I have a bit of experience with these types of pivot doors/windows – they are not easy to live with. They take up a lot of internal and external space in use, are not as practical for ventilating a room as other options and they are heavy, so will be difficult to operate for smaller/weaker occupants. I wouldn’t want to live with one day to day.

Ok thanks for all the responses - good points on pivots perhaps not being ideal! As a bit of background - this is effectively as a replacement for a normal window and there is a patio door 2m away so may not be the main entrance / exit - but my thinking is that it would be nice to be able to open the dining room up to the patio so I was looking at a big window that can open (and liked the idea of bench seating either side). Pivot was just because it looks good but isn't an absolute requirement!
Other large windows would work too - how many of the issues would be solved if I went for a normal hinged window (would still like it to be big though)?
-
then you'd need to factor in the opening up and new lintel if going into existing fabric... do you have an architect?
Yep had thought I'd need to open up a bigger space - no architect involved yet, am trying to work out how feasible this is before we start spending money. If this is a non-starter for cost / practicality reasons then I prob don't need an architect for what we're planning so would save that cost.

what about a short door with a bench/plinth beneath? similar use opportunity but not identical to - https://www.lyncharchitects.com/projects/hatton-place/

Anyone know what graphical content might form part of an Environmental Impact Assessment?
I know this thread is usually for lusting over or deriding various architectural projects, but I assume there must be some folk pretty knowledgeable about the subject on a professional level here. Now I frequently get involved with the visual stuff: Verified Views and such, but I need to know what other content in an EIA might come from someone usually tasked with making things look presentable (not the actually nitty-gritty of the technical assessment). Other than 3D renders would it just be photography, plans and maybe a few graphs?
