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

Maybe you could include this in the drawing as well? I would interpret it this way

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 up to the left and down to the right.

Forget the first option—no one wants the cut edge right in the middle of the terrace.
The second option looks better. The downside is that the narrow door would have a small step.
How do you plan to cover the terrace?

Or a wooden terrace without a slope. I actually find that nicer 😉
