How can I incorporate minimalist extension to a 100 year old home?
Comments (44)Hi RePete, another app for drafting is Home Sweet Home which is free. My experience has been that some of the really good architects are happy to share their ideas when they visit as they enjoy the creative process so much. Eg Williams Burton met with us years ago (we are still figuring out what to do!) - and I was very impressed. We didn't use them as they are very fastidious so their builds take a long time and we can't cope with that but they do some amazing work on character homes in particular and although people think of them as only doing very expensive jobs, I am aware that they have also done some cheaper jobs where the project has got their interest. You could try talking to them and a few others from that "tier". I can't remember if we paid for the initial meeting, but if we did it was only a very small amount. I would seek as many views as possible (including here), keep trawling the net and pinterest as well as Houzz, look at lots of magazines etc, go to every open home that is vaguely like your style and ask the real estate agent who designed/built it... (hmmmm this is why we haven't started building yet after 8 years...) As Ok says, probably the only person that can determine what accommodation is required is you, so make that thought process a parallel one to looking at pictures. Good luck....See MoreHow to fix the back end of my house
Comments (9)What direction does the home face. Well glazed area (with appropriate eaves) overlooking a northern backyard, very good. The same windows overlooking a western backyard, bad, as it'll get way to got in summer. I'm a bit confused about where the deck is though. Will it shade any new windows added to the galvo section of the home?...See MoreDecor: adding a touch of masculinity for a bedroom?
Comments (11)I'm not sure if any of the replies are from guys , but allegedly I am one hahaha . Pretty easy really -- pull the duvet back across 3/4 of the bed , with a large hump on a diagonal . Get a couple of wet mismatched towels , and throw them on top of the cover so they can dry out ( saves having to wash them every 2 weeks too ! ) . A couple of large posters of your mans favourite singers/actresses , and one of his favourite car model . Bonus points if the model of car has an actual model draped provocatively across it . In the corner , have a pile of clothes that may need washing in about 3 weeks -- BOTH pairs of jeans , 4 1/2 pairs of socks , all 5 pairs of undies , including the ones that are now lovingly referred to as 'crotchless' , and 7 black T shirts with band names on . In the lounge , a tea towel on the white 'coffee' table will stop the white top getting shoe skid marks on it , and its sad to see only 1 remote there -- you need at least 7 , even if you aren't sure what 5 of them do . . . . . . . . . . Thats a start ....See MoreHow should I light my very high cathedral ceiling?
Comments (18)I'd make sure I had probably 3 'zones' or options . It is just crying out for a big industrial style centrepiece on 3 or 4 heavy chains , maybe even with 15 or 20 candles . Just as I'm writing this , I'm even wondering how difficult it would be to get 15 shorter stubbier candles and drill out the middles , and thread a cheap 12 volt LED through each one ? The local electrical supplier charges something like $12 for 10 -- you'd have to wire them , but its low voltage so a soldering iron and heatshrink tubing would do wonders . look way more authentic than those cheesy ones with flickering 240 volt bulbs and fake melted wax on shiny plastic bases ! Anyway , that would be my centrepiece , even if you had to use a transformer etc -- drop it to the ceiling line height . Then I'd do a seperate zone -- probably single LED spotlights ( prob in black ) . at least one each beam , some pointing up , some across to the other 'slope' , but also some pointing downwards , because you'll need to look for dropped coins or handkerchiefs or phone chargers every now and then haha . And the 3rd zone would be wall uplights and downlights , because I can almost guarantee there will be times you want light , but you don't want or need to emphasis the height . If its not too late , I'd have them maybe 1.5mtrs from the floor , and the covers in an aged copper or similar panels , and that would match the style of the centrepiece light too . I'd have the spotlights a completely seperate style though -- more modern and plainer , but not ultra-modern , if that makes sense ....See MoreTribbletrouble44152k7 Trek
