Most furniture here isn't self-assembled. You'll ruin your window frames dragging settees and beds over them.
Spiral staircases look nice, save space, but, are really horrible to use.

Don't drag, lift.
Ikea sucks anway.
Judging from the pics from Nawty's previous house.
Does not use furniture.
He only need a blue toilet.
nawty, the wall that i have as curved, should it be 2 straight walls on an angle?
Split, where is North on your plan??
top of the page i hope, but can orientate any way.
alot of glass on that elevation.
Is it Jandajoy's land? I hope it's North because of the glass curtain wall.
Surprised you don't have a Firemans Pole to slide down!
I hated that blue toilet. I used to get daily photos of it and it's contents.
So do you miss the contents or the blue loo ?
Split, it should be 2 or 3 straight lines for windows/doors. Also above these sliding doors should be glass, with possibly louvred sections at the very top for ventilation. For this concept, i would like to see large folding section doors, say 3m tall or just a little less. Can actually be replaced at construction with cheaper options.
Yes, I did.Quote:

Exactly, even just a grass lawn area, not difficult to do and getting furniture in is the least of your problems.
Also the loft area will have mostly builtin furniture, especially the big stuff, so making sure you have all your furniture in prior to closing it up is not difficult and can be easily planned for.
I am looking to do a stone bathtub in my next house, got the price for a slab from the quarry and might carve it myself......now that will be one big fucker that will have to be planned to be in prior to any walls even going up.
Certainly leaving out a spectacular spiral wooden staircase because of the possibility of needing more furniture in later, is not an option I would even consider.
But, it does not also need to be spiralling, it could be based on a straight line climb, dunno what you call it, but 3 sections of straight stairs instead of circling and then use wider than normal steps, this would allow some furniture access, but still not large pieces and would look more modern and spectacular.
Split.....the stairs should be more like wood steps coming out from the centre pole, then supported by either stainless cables at the outer edge, or black steel rods from a structure above. Also a black steel base under each step angling down from outside edge to the centre pole....if you know what I mean.
Jandajoy building a house?
Where is he getting the money from?
Aborigines
like this for the stairs?
looks ok,
I like the Bars around the Stairs, will remind Nawty of where he may end up!
Dutch style.Quote:

hi nawty, attached are the incomplete elevations, could you mark on them or comment what changes and addditions are needed,
The current roof pitch is 30 deg.i would likt to reduce it to 20. it will make the south elevation look less domineering.:)
The back of the house (E/01) looks very drab. Is there no entranceway or something to make it look better and be more user friendly?
yes sorry mate. i need nawty to tell me what he wants added for each elevation.
nothing done on that one yet:):)
yes yes, backdoor needs to be showing, to make it a real rear entry.
(actually its the front)
e01....just a quick look as about to leave for the plantation, back monday. But the left section is the kitchen, so try a long horizontal window, or perhaps several smaller vertical windows.
To the right is entrance way, so nice double wooden style door, again, try 2 long vertical windows either side of it, slim ones.
Upper section is the back wall of bedroom, so perhaps a long slender window above the bed, similar for bathroom to match and verticals in the store/walkin closet areas.
e03....The balcont view, the upper section above the living area folding doors needs to be glass also, all of it, the idea is amassive view of the valley and mountains as you walk in the entrance to the living areas.
Try the roof at a lower angle, but also extend it past the windows at balcont level to provide cover of all the glass from the sun if possible and not to much work to change back.
Off now, look more on monday....cheers
one of the good things about this program is that you can use 'layers'.
these basically are a ways of showing your floorplan by a combination of layers which build up the display you require, they can be changed so that different items can be shown on the same floor plan, without rebuilding the floorplan.
here i have 2 layer combinations setup.
the first, 'nawty2', shows the floorplans with dimensions, i can also add other layers such as zone markers and worksheets, and other items which will aid in the construction of the house.
the second layer combination, 'nawty', shows furniture layout, floor material setup etc.
the 3rd image shows the layer combination setup. this setup is for layer combination 'nawty' where you can see the 'dimGenBuilding' layer eye closed and therefore off for that layer combination.
