Comments (8)The thing with a curved path is, everyone will walk in a straight line, unless the path curves around things that you can't walk through ;-) I'm not quite sure why the angle of the garden bothers you so much. It is what it is and it makes the garden more interesting. I like all your designs, but the one with the path on the left side appeals to me the most. If the path isn't 'solid', it'll be part of the lawn, so I wouldn't be too worried that it reduces the size of that....See MoreGarden - Garden Room and Garden Refurb
Comments (8)Is the building insulated? If not I would go for external insulation and rainscreen cladding (cedar, larch, thermawood, Hardieplank... loads of options!) I would go for - Double sliding/French doors on the office/playroom side - Partially glazed door for the shed storage. - Gravel the side and front of the building - Trailing plants along the side to improve the view out of the windows. I’m just about to start a garden office and we’ve gone for insulated roof panels, a simpler way to have an insulated finished roof without the need for multiple roof joists and all the necessary layers to make up a cold/warm roof! If you can, I would increase the pitch of the roof to at least 5 degrees, add some overhang all around (especially the front) and install guttering and a soak away. If you’re up for the work, I’d reseed the garden and add some topsoil. - Raised beds down the sides - Paint/stain the weathered fence panels - Maybe some nice tiles or pavers on the patio with a table and chairs...See MoreFloor Plan/Layout Challenge - Detached House, North Facing Garden
Comments (14)Thank you for your suggestion regarding the house layout. We really like what you've done to maximise the space downstairs and to include our room requirements in your thinking. We love the utlity area, with an additional nooks for coats etc. and the sizeable pantry off the kitchen. Definitely a good idea to incude plumbing, where we play to put to palyroom because eventually we could see this turned into an additional bedroom for elderly relatives. The re-shuffle of the upstairs space is clever, to minimse cost e.g. with the en-suite bathroom for the master bedroom. I prefer what you've done with the two smaller rooms, by including a doormer whould make the space more useable...and one of the rooms could still become an office. Questions: - by installing roof lights in the downstairs extension, do you feel that would be sufficient light for the ktichen space? Very concious to not make the middle space of the downstairs too dark? Thanks again - blown away by what you've produced!...See MoreVictoria Jerram Limited
