what materials for the facade? what would you keep or change?

il y a 10 ans

hi everyone. attached is an architect drawing of our new front facade - we are adding a third storey to our townhouse (existing building photo attached) and pushing forward the whole building by 1 metre.
The architect has suggested windows to run the whole height of the building and potentially either a wood (I'm a bit worried about upkeep) or a render finish.
I'd like some interesting - I'm worried that a simple brick or render finish may make the building look like an apartment block... so would love some ideas.
I'd also love feedback on the design - we only received one option and I really don't know how to judge whether this is an appealing design or not!
Many thanks!!

Besoin de conseils pour choisir les rideaux pour un salon scandinave
Q

bonjour, ils sont très bien les rideaux que vous avez trouvé, le bleu est bien clair et dans les tons pastels que nous utilisions beaucoup en Scandinavie. Le bleu assortie pour le coussin est parfait. Si vous souhaitez vous rapprocher du style Scandinave il faut choisir entre rideaux et voilage comme on ne mets jamais le deux, beaucoup trop lourd pour nous intérieurs ou on essaye toujours garder une luminosité maximale. En Tunisie vous avez le problème contraire donc il faudra s'adapter et trouver une équilibre entre le style Scandinave et vous besoins. Si vous souhaitez avoir une voilage je conseillerai vivement un blanc uni, sans rayure! votre tableau bleu et jaune sera très bien avec l'ensemble, il est très beau!

Comment améliorer ce plan de cuisine?

Microwave next to the table would solve the bad looks and the height issue. Normally upper cabinets can be about 48cm above countertop, but since it looks better to have them on the same height as the built-in hood, you'll need 60cm. But if you're 1.60m you could consider a free hanging hood and some upper cabinets next to it, otherwise all uppers would be too high for you and you'd only use the lower shelf. And even better: Buy an oven with microwave function! (already posted that I think) Oven with microwave is different than microwave with grill. I even have a 12 year old tiny Panasonic combi that makes perfect bread and pizza!

Green interior design is essential to your health

Why is a green interior design essential to your health and the health of your children ? Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted as gases from certain solids or liquids. It includes a variety of chemicals, some of which may have short- and long-term adverse health effects and are up to 10 times more concentrated indoor than outdoor. Most of the VOCs come from paint, glue and a lot of building material. How to reduce or eliminate VOCs from your home ? What is good for you is also good for the environment. To have a greener interior design the first step ins get rid of the chemicals in the paint. The use of a water based paint is the most ecological, it gets well to almost any surface and is weather-resistant. It is also cheaper than an oil based paint ! Now let’s get to your furniture. Of course an organic mattress or an air purifier would be very recommended to keep you away from VOCs. You should also make sure that the furniture is made from organic materials, free from potentially harmful chemicals. Important certifications : When looking for non-toxic furniture, make sure they are Greenguard certified. Greenguard certification is issued for products that meet rigorous criteria for VOCs emissions set by key public health agencies. Forest Stewardship Council certifies wood is harvested respecting indigenous people’s rights without causing any harm to the environment.

I think "render" is stucco in the US. Will the floors be visible? Here is one lots of glass:
Chesapeake St. Residence · Plus d'infos

Here are some photos to refer to:
Elsie Street · Plus d'infos

Stein Residence · Plus d'infos
and
Kaplan Wright House LA · Plus d'infos

I think stucco and wood with the glass would really look good. One of the reasons I like the stucco option is because it seems the neighbors have it. So you house will not be a huge departure. Of all of the above photos I like the Elsie Street one, were there is wood between the floors. This wood is probably stained and should not present a major up-keep issue, since a good stain on a cedar should last 10 to 15 years, before it need to be redone.

I like the idea of the metal (run vertically). Low maintenance too and cool!
