Re: Newest home design. I like the rendering of the swinmming-pool...  And what say about the concept of the circular patio ???  We could find it (soon) on Mars in 2042...   ---------------------------------------- Evil progresses when good people do nothing! --- SH3D 7.1 and nothing else - W11 64b in 4K |

Re: Newest home design. Thank you all for the the comments. I have made a few tweaks to the atrium as i felt it was a bit too " in your face", heres a couple of images of the toned down version. Moved the balcony back slightly, remade the handrail and the floor/ceilings, no dome now, let the weather and wildlife in so they can enjoy it too.  view on the grond floor  And the office space  not sure the wall texture will stay in here. in fact, as i doubt it, it probably wont. Heres a link to the project. Enjoy. Look forward to your thoughts. Mike |

Re: Newest home design. Prefer the toned down version. Love the concept. But uncertain whether you can actually make the tree grow in the UK. Further South it should work nicely, though. As for the wall-texture, matter of taste, but, even if cool, imho no big loss if you lost it... |

Re: Newest home design. But uncertain whether you can actually make the tree grow in the UK. Further South it should work nicely, Hi,Entirely agree with okh !  I waited the previous pictures to do same remarks about the lack of light for the tree...  But the concept is very interesting ! ---------------------------------------- Evil progresses when good people do nothing! --- SH3D 7.1 and nothing else - W11 64b in 4K |

Re: Newest home design. I guess all the plants here will die too, shame. |

Re: Newest home design. I guess all the plants here will die too Yes, a little part of them, eat by the crew... So, the module is equipped by all necessary lights... artificial of course ! A better closer view is HERE Try to put your patio like a veranda, not at the center of the house... it will be marvellous ! ---------------------------------------- Evil progresses when good people do nothing! --- SH3D 7.1 and nothing else - W11 64b in 4K |

Re: Newest home design. Ist image of the kitchen, viewed through the breakfast bar.  from patio doors, of the breakfast bar.  and finally, from the kitchen entrance  I will try for a better quality image after i have dressed the room. Mike |

Re: Newest home design. Breakfast room is done now, quite happy with this one. As you can see i did change the wall texture in the kitchen.  Mike |

Re: Newest home design. ..the atrium... I really like that atrium, so having been sceptical to whether it would get sufficient sunlight for plants to grow, I should add: There might be plants/trees that need less sunlight. But it also occurred to me that it might work even further North if you raised the floor of the atrium to the mezzanine level (just leaving columns and open space underneath). Or some variety of bringing the plants closer to sun? Or would that ruin the basic concept? And looking at your last exterior rendering again, how about a roof terrace/garden around the atrium opening? I could see myself relaxing there after a swim in the pool, some good red wine waiting for the charcoal to work its magic on a leg of lamb... ok |

Re: Newest home design. @okh : How much do you estimate the thickness of ground that a tree needs ? We may just be offering more advice than the artist ever asked for here. But, yes, my understanding is that rule-of-thumb: the root system of a wild tree will generally match the branches/twigs to sustain the foliage. But having chopped down a few, I dare say it really is not universal, and the root system can still be contained in a smaller volume soil if water nourishment is sufficient. Just look at ficus and other trees in flower-pots. I have always been told that a tree, there are as many in the air as in the ground ... The subject about atrium is big... Either way, even on the ground floor, Miker777 will need to contain and control the root system. Little water will seep through under the house, and the roots must be prevented from interfering with the foundation, sewerage etc. not to mention the pool in the next room. Even so, it is true, that an elevated atrium would need a quite large "flower-pot" to sustain a ceiling height tree. But I think not to an extent where it would be impossible. ok  By InSapphoWeTrust from Los Angeles, California, USA (United Club (LAX)) [CC BY-SA 2.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0)], via Wikimedia Commons |

Re: Newest home design. I didn't speak about the weight of the raised structure (foundations, ground, structure, ...). As for soil volume and depth, you probably want to consult an arborist / read up on different root systems, shallow and deep. But yes, gut feeling says depth, volume and weight should not be major obstacles for a raised atrium. Whether Miker777 likes the solution from an aesthetic point of view is, of course, a different matter. Just trying to be a pain-in-the-rear besserwisser. ok |

Re: Newest home design. Thank you bdfd and besserwisser for your critique, you gave me a lot to consider in my design. I have now taken advice from specialist lighting companies and structural engineers and together we think we have found solutions to all these issues. An Ausralian lighting company have supplied and installed a descrete source of metal halide uplighter (Blue Light) and 3 HPS (high pressure sodium) lamps, each aid plant health and growth, An Irish company has been able ensure structural stabilty of the Atrium and found a way to trap and direct rain water. An English company from Stoke, home of the potteries, has been able to provide a means to prevent root damage to the property.  If i have missed anything feel frre to let me know and i will give it my my least divided attention.  Mike |

Re: Newest home design. My plans, hopefully, give a visualisation to what could be achieved, not necessarily what is achievable, but i suppose with suffiucient funds almost anything can. If i had to start considering footings, plumbing, electrics etc i would probably lose interest in that project fairly quickly, i wouldnt count it out though as a complete home would be a new challenge.
