Artistic Impressions

With the planned extension, there would be a need to have a structural column in place in the corner of the existing building to support the required steel beams. This posed a constraint to our design and layout as we would have to plan our kitchen to accommodate this column.

As our architect was using traditional methods, we were concerned about how the space would flow within the kitchen given the constraint of having a required structural column. We were also keen to get a visualisation of the extension to determine how the changes would impact the existing building. As such we were able to find a local company who work with architects to produce 3D renderings. They visited our house and after discussing our plans, they took some photographs and we also sent the exported drawings from the software application we used which reduced the amount of work (and cost) they had to do. After a week they produced the following images

The interior images do not reflect our designs but provide us with a better idea as to how the space may look. If our extension looks like the images above, we'll be more than happy. Definitely worth paying to have 3D renderings done.

Windows and Doors

So as we await for planning consent and quotes from builders, we thought it was good to use the time to start looking at the style of windows we would want installed. The intention is to replace all the single glazed windows with double glazing at some point but this will depend on the cost. The existing windows of the house are single glazed timber sliding sash, with Georgian bars in the upper half. Front Elevation  The rear windows are simple sliding sash with the ones on the ground floor having Georgian bars. Rear Elevation The extension will consist of 2 windows in the kitchen area, followed by another in the utility area. Then there is a small window for the small toilet and 2 windows above the garage (front and rear). There is also a single door from the utility into the garden and 2 sets of bi-folding doors. In total then we have over 30 windows. We would like to replace the existing windows with something similar that keeps the character of the property but sl

Day 59 - Brickwork

Image
Once again nothing much to report on except the few courses of bricks have been laid. Photo 1  Photo 2 Working with black mortar is a lot more difficult as its easier to ruin the brickwork. So far I think the brickwork is looking pretty good. While waiting for the brickwork to be built, I thought it would be good to make a start on preparing the rooms on the inside.

Day 125 - Enabling Works

Had a visit from a friend today and was just discussing whether to remove the fireplace or not from the living room. One thing lead to another and before long we had removed the fireplace from the living room and also removed the plaster from the chimney wall. Photo 1 Photo 2 Photo 3 Photo 4 This is where we are hoping to install our wood burner but having the plaster removed, we are now debating whether to leave the chimney as exposed bricks.
