Thread: Nawty's House

hi nawty, the upstairs walls around the bath, could be a frame with bamboo roller bilnds. this would soften it up a bit. or could do timber panels?

glad you liked the windows, its a bit tricky up there due to space and roof angle getting in the way.

if you have a good pic of the front doors you want then post it here and i can put them in.

are the doors at the side of the house ok?

Just looking at those windows again and i think it gives the front a simple look......then you enter and get a lot more than what you expect with the rear so open and spectacular.

I like it as is, but again, throw something else in if easy enough and just see how it looks, maybe as i mentioned previously another vertical or 2.

Side doors look fine.

Front door dont have a photo of here, might at home that I have on other puter.

But the chinese type may look out of place on that now.....but i have seen some with nice clean looks, but still very old style, but less rustic and chinese looking.

I see the confusion now......this is not the same dwelling that I am building at Survivor Plantation.....that is a tiny weeney little bungalow where i am experimenting with the tung oil.

This house is for JJ....Oop nerf or somewhere.

Split....the columns do not look like wooden posts currently, they look like cement posts....but coloured cement at least.....can you get them to look more like wood ??

This is what I was thinking for the back upper windows. Maybe too much exposure for bedrooms???

Sorry Humby, that looks like a pair of Spidermans eyes have been embedded onto it.

One of the reasons for the verticals and not over the whole area is that behind that wall is bedroom, where the current verticals are, then cupboard and storage and walkin closet space.

Thats why I am wondering if a couple more smaller verticals would enhance it and natural light in those spaces also.

dont forget the bedroom has a big window off of the balcony, so little need for extra light from this side.

yes unfortuneately cant do it , as bathroom, WIR, and bedroom dont allow.

ha ha ha
That's why god invented photoshop!

nice job though mate.

And it's looking fokin marvellous. Thanks chaps.

ok so renders nearly done. any other angles you want to see?

have made the screen up on balcony out of timber slats.

Not really, just the 2 is fine. Looks vely good.

I might just steal it off of JJ and build it around here one day.....never know.....

ok so heres the other angle with the same settings.
sorry nawy cant do the timber column thing.

floor plans tomorrow.

It looks really great.

I went through the same horrific process, sketching my plans out on squared paper and then watching as the builder got it all wrong.

I suffered such post-traumatic stress that I had to write a book about it.

Good luck with it.

Andrew

thanks Andrew,
i haven't read your books but have seen then in the chops and flicked through them at the airport.
best of luck, hope your writing helps people avoid many of the problems and pitfalls involved with living in Thailand.

Must post myrudimentary house desig and take advantage of this free draughting service.
House looks good but not much ventilation there?
My place will have louvre windows and the typical khmer ventilation blocks.they always have them above windows and doors.

sorry Cambtek,
this design was from a competition we had, you can find it here on this forum, there are 2 threads regarding the comp.

the next one will be held by Humbert at some stage. maybe you could enter that one, if you win, this is the prize.

as you can imaging, the process is time consuming. and unfortuneatly not alway free.
