How do I bathroom / kitchen / extension? etc.

Defo.
Cheers for size, I’m aiming for 8 or 10.

I disagree, ours does that and in torrential rain, it creates a waterfall effect in front of the french windows. Also creates a tide mark on the rooflight that is slightly in the flow of the water.

Sounds like shitty implementation tbh

If you want done 100% (and you can’t take it over the side of the house as you are in a terrace) it means taking the water through the roof, the room below and in to a subsurface drain.

@Sheppz - saw this and thought of you / your porch - https://www.ajbuildingslibrary.co.uk/projects/display/id/8817

Why has he decided to utterly fuck the roof with the spray on insulation though?

[Edit] Playing post catch-up

I'm no builder / engineer etc. but I don't see how there's going to be sufficient airflow under the roof if there is spray foam, blanket and PIR. Seem like it could cause damp problems.

The use of available space seems like a fun idea though.

It was done by previous owner. Impossible to remove. I think he discussed with a mate who's a property surveyor for advice prior to purchase.

Have you tracked them down & had them beaten?

He's an architect of 30+ year experience so I assume he is across the detailing and potential risk.

ha funny - was my first reference point. i was planning to do something like it but white, think might be too ostentatious tho.

Fair enough! I'm available for unsolicited and casually informed internet opinions, though, if he needs any help.

Bloody hell you're one of those. (Architectural lineage)

@Sheppz lol here at rinsing inheritance.
My dad is building a house that sounds quite expensive.
Won't impact inheritance though, he took care of that problem by having a second family.

Couple more renders.
What do people think about the windows here - we're slightly restricted as this is replacing a garage door at the front and as its a conservation area planners are a pita. I think ideally the window would be higher...The room will be an office/playroom/guest bedroom (as it has an adjoining shower room). Other question is whether to have a sloped ceiling and/or velux rooflight..or not
Also trying to decide between a solid bannister or open as in this render...

And then two different options for storage at the end of the room (hiding a boiler).

Around the door storage.
Open bannister.

Might look kind of cool if you went off the whole hidden door situation.

Yeah I was thinking similar - it’s a pocket door in the 2nd option

This was what a solid bannister might look like

Could go floor to ceiling open banister? Always a sucker for them.

I've always fancied a glass panel bannister in our house...

Add horizontal bars for the full kids climbing frame effect

Actually into that idea.

Whhhy? I hate them nearly everywhere.

I don't think it's ostentatious at all. Kind of agricultural/rustic.

Would work for my two and I'd probably do it if our house had that kind of arrangement.
