Sounds like someone is looking for "free" design. Maybe they should be looking at the construction forum and finding something they fancy?

sounds like it, donnit?

ummmmmm.
could be, but i cant imagine showing a client this thread and saying oh yes i held a competition and this one won so heres your new house.
maybe you and norton can, but i cant.
could be your problem i think.

you've got the photos. post 'em and see what happens. Doesn't really matter if the deal goes through or not.

I want to be in it, struggling for time though.

jandajoy, thanks for the pics, i havnt posted them before because i thought people may have already started,and also because the land is on a slope i thought it may be difficult for some member to design the house. which is why i kept it a level plot.

here are the pics for everyone, entrants can use the land you provided if they wish.

yes i know moon cakes, thats why i didnt post them, there really needs to be a chanote, elevation markers, gradients, north pointers blah blah blah.

ask the questions and hopefully jandajoy can answer them,

i suggested a flat plot because i wanted it open for everyone, plots with different elevations etc could prove difficult for some.

but you can use jandajoys land if you want, no problem.

You don't have a chanote, but jandajoy has a chanote and pics
Jandajoy is a thai?
Is she your wife?....or she is a "he"....wouldn't matter to me either one

Just confused that's all....
Am I suppose to ask you of what you want or up to janjajoy?

Who is my client, really here?

fu*k,
i didnt mean it to be this complicated mate really.

the brief is on page 2.
jandajoy is a member here who had some land and we was going to use the plot, but....

use the brief as the customer, but you can use the land in the pics if you want,make up your own elevations if you want.

dont be confused.
get designing.

Well duh duh....how would I know, coz I just got here to TD only lastweek!,...and ran into this post literally

I take my job seriously, when I'm doing it....so my habbits die hard

U know if you find an architect that doesn't ask you lots of question, then you shall get what you pay for it.

Just try to help, don't even care about the trophy tho....hehe

btw...am a girl ja, not a mate as a b-o-y

Cyea....am going to bed now...it's so late here
tata

ok sweetcheeks, sweet dreams.

My two cents but I defer to Splitlid. This looks like a 'design concept' competition.
No working drawings are going to be produced. So it shouldn't concern anyone that somehow somebody is going to get something free that could be produced by an architect.

yep, i think your right Humbert, thanks for that.
the brief is simple, it says a max of 10m baht, but obviously you dont have to spend all of it.

the idea is to get people being creative, and design something which sticks to the brief but dosnt end up being your bog standard thai house.

i think people are reading too much into it, when really they should just give it a go, and see what they come up with.

That looks terrible Norts. What kind if muppet would have a house like that?!

There's also a major flaw with that design. I reckon the sewage system is pretty suspect.

Yes is built to withstand average sized human waste and survive a tsunami. Only one incident of overload when a visiting full of crap Brit unloaded a full barrage on the system.

Use a program called 3D Home Architect by Broderbund. Very good for initial design but not so good for producing detailed build to drawings. Can export to AutoCad and then finish the details.

This muppet thinks it just fine and you and the rest of the TD gang seemed quite content at your last visit. Still here, don't make yourself so scarce. Come say hi.

No worries the little lad is quite enjoying it.

I would like to know which way the wind blows.....for toilet placement......JJ wants a cheap build, he will get a thunderbox me thinks.

Need the orientation of that land, JJ?
What is the direction of exposure, exp on the mths view side?
...east, west, south, or north?

Just need to know how deep should I design for the covered porch, esp at the mths view side.

ps:
Nawty: I just assume it comes from SW direction, since Thailand is in the northern hemisphere,...unless JJ tells us differently.

Changes depending on monsoon season.

but you still have to have the main prevailing wind direction.

The airport is running north-south for a reason.
