I think is the fastest, most economical way of raising up the structure. we'll see if I got this one right....<br /><br />good luck,<br />AdrianAdrian Besleagahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17799031706504831622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807277011000274810.post-79517499982976137332011-03-08T13:15:22.746-05:002011-03-08T13:15:22.746-05:00Dear _______?

Thanks.<br />Wanted to let you know you house design is interesting - thanks for posting floor plans and so forth. I wish you all the best on your exciting project and hope to catch up with you more often as it continues to develop. Send me email if you like at lyndonthan@gmail.com.<br />I wasn't sure which way north and south are on your drawings - obviously the main windows are facing south, but exactly how south? And please le tus know a little more about where the project is to be - Toronto area, but around where? Reason is the rooftop terrace. In our area we are not allowed such a thing due to privacy issues 'overlooking'. This had a major impact on our design and directed us away from flat roofed buildings. Your net zero/passive design is lacking a major south-facing energy-catching surface - ie no place to mount solar panels if not on frames on the roof top terrace. - I suppose thats where it would go? Not that you need them right away, but certainly I expect ou are designing to incorporate them in future at least.<br />I am also interested to find out what you find out about the prefab walls in the Toronto area.<br />Again, Best wishes to you!<br />LyndonLyndon and Phi Thanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15905919606181622527noreply@blogger.com
