ETC

I love the idea of a house fully clad in red clay tiles - it would fit in perfectly with the rest of the neighbourhood. If you’re going down this road you need to make a big statement and make the cheese wedge stand out proud and not be watered down by bits and bibs tacked on. Try and simplify and rationalise the footprint of your plan so that the wedge is clear and legible.

I think the saying goes “great minds…..”😀

@Andehh Can you post a few pictures?

Clay tiles walls and roof.

I also thought that the external finish could be clay tiles to match the surrounding houses.

Unapologetically red. The big red shed. I think your plan needs a bit of tweaking to simplify it but I think you’re going in the right direction with the bedrooms facing east and all family accommodation overlooking the back garden.

The Red Shed.

Alternative plan to your posted layout.

I think you might be missing a trick here -you’ve a massive hall-far bigger than it needs to be, you have an internal wc the back door and the living room is facing north. The idea to have the full gable from the utility right through to the kitchen is - in my opinion a waste of the feature. If it was me I’d move the living room to the back and the bedrooms to the front and probably hand the plan so that you get morning light into the bedrooms. At the moment they face west and will only get evening light. I also think the house form - with hips everywhere and a room in the roof space will be expensive. You will more than likely need steel hips. I’d also give the Gf wc a window, create some kind of shelter to both the front and rear doors. You will curse every time it’s raining and you have an armful of groceries. I’d also look again at the location of the study - it would be nice to have it overlooking the garden rather than the driveway. ETC.

Had a bit of fun with your own layout this afternoon. Put a different set of clothes on it. Haven’t read your comments above but will do once I post this picture-take with a big pinch of salt please-letting my imagination run away with me.

Don’t like the layout or elevations - both of them. Quite contrived.

Still don’t like it.

Dragon’s Den here you come! Get IPR sorted asap.

Once more with feeling……….

Where is the site boundary? Where do you enter the site?

Sketched without reference to a site plan. Going to give it another lash. Watch this space.

My attempt at a simplified version. Two wings with standard pitched roofs - single storey open vaulted ceiling for the kitchen/dining/living room and 1.5 storey for the bedroom block. Not unique but works. OP version in red behind.

Sorry - not a fan. Far too fussy in plan and in massing and could be simplified and made a whole lot cheaper. The hipped roof will need a shed load of steel probably including steel hips. Not sure where the front door is and having a tapered tread staircase is something to avoid if you can. Can you post a site plan so that we can see the context.

Parapet gable wall.
