Hmmmm I'm watching this closely if it won't break the bank, I may borrow this idea for one of my projects to serve as a sky sunlight for solar water heater on the covered roofing system. This idea may sound crazy but I love to create crazy ideas anyway. Buson, I know you're a very creative Youngman that thinks outside the box in most of your projects, In reference to the glass above, which glass is better in absorbing sunlight to solar panel underneath atrium Tampered, Laminated or Plastic? My idea is to use one of these that will give better result to the solar water heating system.

That’s one smart idea not just crazy. I saw something like that on fine homebuilding - solar panels disguised as skylight. It passes natural daylight while meeting the energy needs of the house.

Elon Musk ain’t smarter than us all na grin

You’d be fine with any of the above but plastic.

In the next 5 years, majorities of homes in Africa will apply these designs to their houses, it is very easy to install solar panels and saves cost on the roof carcaas and covering cost meanwhile also, be an independent electricity genentor for their homes electronic's and lighting.

Kudos.

Disadvantages? I haven't known any.
It's a basic roof which is easy to construct and maintain.

You answered my question already. Thank you.
All4good:


Your question is vague.

If you are asking if your ground floor arrangement must be same with the upper floor for structural stability, then the answer is NO. It's the responsibility of your structural engineer to design the building according to its loading conditions.

However, if you are suggesting that you want to change the floor arrangement from what 2ad originally designed, then there is a "structural concern" and you need to revert to your Structural Engineer .

OK, here's a question.

Why don't we build with treated/insulated hardwood in Nigeria? You know, a house where the exterior walls can be blocks/concrete, but the interior/room dividers would be wood? Think of the freedom and cost-reduction in running electrical wires/pipes, plumbing, and even future reconstruction/expansion.

My high school in Abia built in 1929 has residential buildings built entirely of wood, and some still look good!

We are working on a project where the entire structure would be treated wood and glass
We are still in the conceptual stage.

Naa so my Oga sir.

In other news our second Anambra project is going on gradually by gradually.

Who say we can’t work any where, so far the deal is affordable to both parties (client and contractor).

3rd and 4th pics is our 1st Anambra project, now in completion stage.

Both clients are our member here, we thank you all.

No disadvantage as far as I know.

My fathers house has the same style since the early 70’s. It’s also what I’ll be using in my Trinity ONE Estate.
