Hi Ferdinand, Did you manage to pick up my PM out of curiosity? Cal

Jamiehamy...I will give it some thought tomorrow, if you don't mind...cheers

Ah, thanks for the welcome...Didn't know the forum existed until Ferdinand spotted my recent post GBF. I did design a house on a site that was only 5.6m wide, but one 'no maintenance' wall was on the boundary, with the agreement of a friendly neighbour. Another was sold with my design attached as it were, to a builder who did indeed flip it, to no detriment. No important views, more or less level site, Steamy Tea, well said...but beware pre-conceived ideas overtaking your choice of site...good sites are few and far between...as many of us know.

I agree with Jack...a real site will make a huge change to your thinking, and create many fantastic opportunities. Ferdinand has suggested my' originally free' design notes...now a somewhat more detailed book, but with the printers. However, the initial notes do point out that pre-made plans are only useful, it seems to me, for initial and isolated inspiration. Supposing the site is only 5.5m wide! Incidentally there are very few plans in the book, just words, quotes, descriptions...and a few computer generated 3D images of bits of interiors of my designs. Maybe the game is to see if you can guess which image matches the words and ideas elsewhere in the text. Incidentally it was devise I use when teaching some 3rd year interior students...ignore fashion statements in books and design magazines...use a dictionary for extremes and opposites of interior possibilities!...they all passed.
