Pool Position Suggestions

4 years ago

Need help with the design delima around what is the best position for the pool. The current plan has it somewhere in the middle and we are keen to move it as far as we can towarsa the back fence in the top left corner without changing the orientation.

The top right corner will hve retaining walls approx 1.5mtr high so that could be another space where it could be visible from the alfresco.

Any experience from existing pool owners would be appreciated from a sun orientation point of view and usage i.e is it more functional to have it in front of alfresco etc.

Another option is to change the orientation to vertical on the left or right hand side.

Cheers,

Bed position?!
Q

A bedroom always seems wrong to me if someone has to walk all the way around the bed to get into it. I would back the bed on to the bookcase forgoing a bit of storage there and using those shelves for lamp placement and bedside storage on that side, then if you can fit a small bedside table on the other side or failing that a small shelf. My 2 cents :)

That's a lovely sized bathroom ffawnog! You're very lucky! We would suggest maybe thinking again about the radiator you have in there. We love the more traditionally styled column rads like that, but maybe getting a slimline one that is a little taller may be a solution. One like this - http://www.bestheating.com/milano-windsor-traditional-white-3-column-radiator-1800mm-x-203mm-vertical.html or perhaps a heated towel rail in a similar style - http://www.bestheating.com/milano-trent-traditional-heated-towel-radiator-930mm-x-620mm-flat-top-rail.html Either way, we can't wait to see the finished look! We're off to lament our distinct lack of bathroom space now :-(

Loft conversion staircase newel position - is this right?
Q
Comments (5)
hi Cornelius, I think that the staircase is probably installed in this manner to allow you to have the correct clearance for the stairs below. If you check the height from the underside of the new stair they need to have a clearance from the nosing of the stair to the underside of 2m. Moving the staircase to the edge probably created a problem. it could also be a problem on heights entering the loft space. if you check this you may be able to assess whether this is the case. it can be moved if there is the room at the top of the stairs to cut the staircase. the stringer must arrive and be fixed to the floor joists, moving the stair may result in the stringer not being correctly positioned to transfer loads and be fixed. Looking at the staircase it is a very basic staircase and will not be capable of too many changes on site without affecting the stability of the stair. Was their a drawing for the staircase produced on the opening, or was this left to the builder to measure and order. If the latter you probably don't have any real option in accepting their design solution. If your architect designed the staircase , they should have resolved clearance issues and have a clear position for the staircase to start. this should include where the balustrade runs and Newell post positions. Did your architect produce a for construction set of drawings or did you use the basic planning set of drawings. In order to resolve problems such as this it is better to have a very detailed set of drawings that the builder can follow to ensure the quickest easiest option isnt taken by your construction team. i think a second newel post will be the best solution. I dont thing it will look as odd as any other solution your builder might suggest. Loft extension access stairs are often a problem and the solutions are a series of compromises made in order to shoehorn in the requirements of regulations and utilise the space to get a clients desired layout. I hope that you can agree a compromise with your builder, as disputes can result in costly litigation and wasted money. try to work something out with them and get the project over the line.. best Rowland

Suggestions where best to position our kitchen
Q

From the two options given, I agree with Jonathan. I would probably put it in the back corner where you have the sofas though - to get a walk-in pantry mainly! But also because I wouldn't want to sit on that sofa other than to watch TV - having sofa area near the garden I'd use it more often. When in kitchen you're usually standing up (or sitting on high stools at island) so you can see over sofas out to garden. But sitting on sofa in back corner you're just going to get a view of the kitchen island. The possibility of having a walk-in pantry would be the game-changer though, they are SO good to use.
