have a look at a normal brick/block build and incorporate some oak features into it. Will be less than half the price of any of the timber builds, look better and last longer.
you need a planning consultant to manage the application. They swim in the same circles. Architects are next to useless when it comes to planning, and pretty much everything else...
your not measuring it right. from the outside of the handle parallel to the wall into which the window is fitted. Not at that angle.
Doesn't look wide enough, had to use a flying mulion on one of ours (1100 width).
not that great, corridors, no lounge, expensive flat roof box tacked on back.
Are you planning to spend £4-5k m2 to build it as that is an expensive build.
it hasnt got anything with a wow factor.
thinking more on the cooling setup.
Would a dedicated 'cooling' cylinder make sense ? In our setup we have 120m2 of ufh pipes to cool then 7 fancoils which adds up to a lot of piping. would it be more efficient for the ASHP to cool down a dedicated cylinder then spin this cooled water through the fancoils/ufh via the cylinder heat exchanger?
