ᐅ Building patios with varying levels

Hello,

I am currently facing a planning issue and need some suggestions.

We are installing patio slabs measuring 80 x 80 cm (31.5 x 31.5 inches).

The slabs will be level with the height of the floor-to-ceiling window.

The patio extends across the entire width.

We are working with a slope and have run into the problem that the left and right double casement windows end up at different levels.

If I start level at the left double window and the extension projects 2 m (6.6 ft), with a 1.5% slope, I end up 3 cm (1.2 inches) below the top edge of the right double window. This was not intended and creates an unsightly tripping hazard.

The roof overhang is 75 cm (29.5 inches) without a gutter.

Options I have considered:

1. Lowering the right window sill
2. Leveling from the left window to the outer building line (extension) (including a gutter)
3. Adjusting everything so the transitions are not visible

Perhaps you have another solution.

Thank you

Slope from the left double window upwards, slope from the right double window towards the left and right. The 45-degree angle to the left of the right double window is then a cut edge for the panels.

This works if the bay window projection equals the center axis of the window.

If you upload a dimensioned plan with your terrace, I’ll be happy to draw it for you.

No. Regarding the "the remaining 95% are top secret" parts, it is generally too difficult and too incomplete to develop any meaningful ideas at all.

or an imaginary line from the axis of the double window on the left to the axis of the double window on the right. From this axis, the slope goes upwards to the left and downwards to the right.

Thanks in advance for the suggestions.

Here is a specific image again. Sorry for the graphic mistake. The patio slabs will not be to scale. The main focus is on the slope.
Of course, the patio slabs will not be installed inside the house.

Or a wooden deck without any slope. I find that looks better anyway 😉
