Hello - Self build on the coast of Scotland

[Clubtropicana]

Hi all, starting out on my self build journey. Just achieved planning permission for the below home, a steep site, so that will be fun! But beautiful sea views onto the firth of Clyde. 

 

Looking forward to learning a lot, enjoying the process and sharing what I learn too.

Nice rendering

Nice design. That's a lot of glass - which way does it face?

[Kelvin]

Really nice design. Good luck.

I love the curtains shown on the master bedroom with the pointy window.  Do let us know how those work in practice.........

Welcome ClubTropicana. Looking forward to hearing of your intentions and methods.

 

I was trying to work that out from the sun's position...but it doesn't match the shadows, so I think it is random.

 

My guess is that the wing curtains are to hide behind if necessary, and the rest is optionally exposed to the world, or is one of those blackout windows (pixels within the glazing, by pushing a button) .

 

Balconies would be nice, perhaps depending whether you have a clear view of the Clyde or Dumbarton is in the way.
