Thai Dhupp and Princess Joy's Thai House Build

[Norton]

I don't find the surface tanks to be aesthetically ugly, they are necessary, if they are well plumbed in and piping neat and orderly = "industrial chic" my background is in construction, doubtless affects my view point.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. My background is in fashion design so our beholding eyes have a different view.

Anyway, nuff about water now that TD has politely suggested he would like to carry on building the house.

Carry on TD.

Can we do windows and doors next? I like to rant about them!

Folks tend to put in far too many windows here & end up living in a greenhouse, obviously you need some light, but not direct sunlight, worth thinking about....

That's true, AP2, as seen if you drive around any development no matter how expensive? Trying to impose western design into a tropical country forces some compromises.

If you look earlier in my thread, when I posted the floor plans and elevations, you will see windows much more in keeping with ancient Thailand. Narrower windows, higher up in the wall so that the light still comes but a lot of the window is under the roof overhang.

Yes, there are some folding door arrangements which are glazed and obviously an 'in' for both light and heat. There will be blackout curtains in the bedroom with reflective material facing out to reduce this effect as much as possible. All of those folding doors are under big overhangs too.
