Where's your home office?

John Gauld Photography - clearly a man after my own heart there looking at your office. We are in different business areas on different continents but share a kinmanship in the way our office contents fully fill the room to overflowing. I do applaud SlidingWardrobeSolutions optimistic belief that a wardrobe like structure could contain it all. In my case I suspect sliding warehouse solutions would be more appropriate. I deal in technical safety and rescue equipment so samples take up space, as do things in for service, filing cabinets for records (most of this stuff requires licenses, periodic record keeping and so forth), more filing cabinets for brochures and manuals, a service and repair desk for stuff that can get inside the room (some has to be done at the customer's location due to equipment size) and basically spares, tools and odds and ends. This is not an office to work from instead of going to a main office, it is THE office. I find that if I put everything away (I have managed to do so a few times) much of it suffers. We are in the tropics, so air conditioning is required at times. Not wanting to run it 24/7 due to costand environmental concerns means that humidity and temperature levels change wildly (a cold drink here has to be stood in a saucer because after 5 minutes there will be almost a second drink due to condensation on the outside of the glass.) Tropics = a minimum of 65% humidity at any time and shade temperatures up to the very high 30's centigrade. Glossy brochures tend to stick together in a big lump. Many pieces of equipment and components have to be kept in sealed bags - looks ugly. The cabinet I stand the colour laser printer/scanner/copier on has a tendency to get mold on one side - the result of the printer's air circulation! This was made worse due to a water leak in the wall from next door for almost 2 years (cured over 2 years ago now). It got under the laminate floor via the edge. Luckily when I fitted it I had been very careful with the foam and plastic sheet underlay so the laminate is okay, but I suspect trapped water is still slowly being drawn out. It is the coolest and darkest room in the house so it is taking time. Part of the living room suffered the same from the same leak but is completely fine now - more space and ventilation and warmer when not in use, so now all dried out from under the floor (same laminate throughout downstairs except for kitchen and bathroom.) I do a lot of work on my notebook and as it has an 8 to 9 hour battery that means the house is my office. I'm typing this as a break from work at the moment and I'm sat on the sofa nicely reclined for comfort.

We are doing a similar project and are a few months down the line from you - our builders start on site on Monday. Your architect can tell you what to focus on first but ours told us the first decisions needed (after the structural layout) are: - glazing ie any sliding or bifold doors or special rooflights or windows, choose where you are getting them from and be ready to order - kitchen, choose supplier and decide on layout so you know where plumbing and electrics are needed - plumbing layout, so think about where radiators or UFH will go, your bathroom layouts, plus any kitchen/utility plumbing. - electrical layout, where do you want lights and sockets (this means you need to know where your furniture is going!) - choose bathroom sanitaryware, as some of this has to be installed pretty early - choose floor finishes ie the exact tiles, wood etc you want - they need to know the thickness to make sure they can get the finished floor levels to match up. (carpet is not so urgent) I would recommend getting on with these decisions as soon as you can especially if you want to have time to shop around.

Garden design ideas

Managed to do a few sketches for you. Please bear in mind that I’m not a pro by any means and they’re not to scale, this is just a hobby of mine:) Best thing to do to see if things will fit is use pegs and string. Tried to keep in mind that the ground slopes and I’ve kept the path in most but made it narrower but you don’t have to keep a path if you feel you don’t need it. I did two with tree and two if tree is cut. If the tree does get cut then it will leave a stump so I reckon that the soil level will still be raised around the roots, it does rot eventually tho. Don’t feel like you have to follow any of these designs they’re just to give you some ideas, hope you like:) (And if photos look messed up then click on them for right image, Houzz has been having trouble with images just lately).

Looking for exterior colours to compliment dark brown windows

I agree with the above. Is it your preference not to be too different or is it actually a rule for your house/area? "in keeping" is a very subjective term. A house is in keeping as long as some elements like size, proportion, colour, material are reflected elsewhere. I would say your houses are not "in keeping" but identical. I agree with @Barbara in that if you make a big change that looks beautiful other neighbours will follow suit.
