tundysho: Hello Mr brabus I don't think so. It depends on the angle you're looking at it. We gave our windows vertical emphasis by making the vertical dimension proportionately larger than the horizontal one. That way we can get the light we wanted. We also planned our windows considering the following : Thermal Heat Loss: we want this house to be energy efficient. Ventilation: Windows provide ventilation to rooms and the extent of ventilation is dependent on the use and the size of the room. 1 Like |

brabus: This new window design seems to be the most common nowadays. I believe some call it "french windows" Formerly normal window has 4 coaches above DPC before window base. Just depends on personal preference. |

Really like the design of the house. I'm hoping to start my own project I'm in February and the size and layout is very similar to this project. I will like a likely cost breakdown of the project. |

From Paper to Brick: Window Design Consideration The workload is lighter now, its high time we resume blogging. An ideal window should be appropriate to the building. However there are a number of initial things to look for when designing your window. • Look at the context – what type of windows characterise similar buildings around you? Are they successful and what would you have done better? • Take account of the context, what emphasis and style of windows would be appropriate? Should they have horizontal or vertical emphasis? • How are the glazing bars/top dividers arranged? • What profile are you using and why? • *What is the ratio of window to wall space on each elevation of the building? This is very important. Please always pay attention to details • How do the windows open? Will it obstruct aesthetical details and the ornamentals? • How are the areas immediately around the window opening treated, such as cills, lintels etc? • Are decorative features (window hood, stone walls, quoins etc) a character of an area – are they appropriate to the overall design or are they fussy and over designed?

Welldone Brabus! What's the roof material called and what drove your decision to use it here? How many sq feet is the roof and roughly how much will the entire roof cost? Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas! |

bugmenot: Welldone Brabus! What's the roof material called and what drove your decision to use it here? How many sq feet is the roof and roughly how much will the entire roof cost? Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas! I think it’s obvious by now that updating this blog has become a little more difficult. In between balancing work, family and of course the project I’ve found little time to update it. Sincere apologies to those who come back looking for updates often. The project is actually on break now. I'll update the cost of this project later on this thread. Meanwhile, we're doing some background works prior to finishing of the house now. Watch this space as from next week as things begin to unfold. "From Paper to Brick: Rendering and Facade for our shell" |

Re: From Paper To Brick: A Journal Of Construction Activities by Natudu: 5:20pm On Dec 28, 2012 |
Wow! This is great. I am looking at making something like this, too. But in Port Harcourt. Watching this space. Can't wait to see the upper level plan to make up my mind. Cost update will also be appreciated. Well done, Brabus. |
