House Design
- Architect

What do you particularly like?
The existing layout, storage space under the stairs, three possible children’s rooms, bay window in the living room, exposed steel beams in the kitchen and living room, textured clinker brick facade, overall style of the house

What do you not like?
So far, there is no natural light in the stairwell, which is why there is a desire for a partially open roof structure

Preferred heating system:
Geothermal

Why is the design as it is now?
The architect has fully followed our specifications and wishes

What is the most important/fundamental question about the floor plan?

Would a partially open roof structure be possible? Do you have any experience with this? Do you have alternatives to Wittmunder torfbruch clinker? If yes, where did you get yours?

Hello everyone,

I hope you might be able to give us an idea of the price range. We are currently considering not covering our extension with bricks, but instead with an insulated triple-glazed glass roof. The roof area would be just under 14 sqm (150 sq ft). Does anyone have experience with the cost of a glass roof with integrated internal shading? We have already contacted glaziers, but have not yet received any quotes and would like a rough estimate to see if we can afford this, or alternatively plan for 2-4 skylights.

Thanks very much for your help.

Unfortunately, we don’t have space for external shading. What are the disadvantages of internal shading?

Many thanks

I would say its effectiveness regarding heat radiation. The goal with shading is usually not just darkening the room, but mainly to prevent the heating up—and with interior shading, the glass is already between the outside and the interior, so the heat has already passed through.

It looks like we will go with 4 Velux windows after all. The house is now fully clad with facing bricks, and we are waiting for the roof to be installed.

Kind goddess, who built that dreadful sand-lime brick sculpture between the stair flights?
