House Construction

[Sweetlucious]

Plain render. No materiality yet. Gonna change some windows to make them floor to ceiling. But this is the base look.

Its a 4 bedroom house with some nice views which i want to take advantage of.

The property is on a slope so no choice but to build multi level.

Starting soon. Hopefully! Attachment 42195Attachment 42196Attachment 42197Attachment 42198

Fitnesscape designed?

Coz the Pena’s penchant of having a carport beneath the pool.

[EQAddict]

No. I considered them but they are too busy. They are turning away clients actually.

The irony is... One of the lots that this house sits in (its on 2 lots) was originally owned by them.

Grats, sir. Unsolicited 2cents...Please pay extra care & attention to exposed suspended slab thicknesses(do thicker than designed or necessary); integral waterproofing; your monolithic pour skeds(time/weather); curing; slopes(for surface water drains: opt free-fall or, if you can't, go trenches, never isolated drains); & more surface waterproofing. Choose your outdoor deck & pool materials really well. These will help lessen your periodic upkeep & risk of extensive collateral damage. Water is life but can be 1 of every home's worst enemies... like termites.

Watertightness is tricky. Misses can be masked by surface solutions short term, yes, but it's the long term integrity we always wish for.
Are you planning gutter-free, sir? If not, external fully welded painted stainless gutters are the next most functionally ideal w/ some degree of aesthetic penalty. Those built midstream & hidden above roofbeams almost always are a source of recurring migraines.
And Odette, she taught new lessons. Many of those w/ tall glass openings on high elevations did not stand a chance. Factor higher wind-load tolerance in, if you can. Stone-coated metal roofs showed their superior wind resistance & worth above other roofing types.
Apologies for going on & on. I'm definite you got everything covered. Enjoy the journey, good sir.[emoji4][emoji120]

Thanks bro. Yes good tips. Am also conscious about extreme weather and the potential leaks. The downspouts will definitely be hidden.

As for the roof will share your advice with our architect as well. We will be putting solar panels and solar heaters (for the pool) on the roof as well.

The more tips the merrier. Do you know anyone who can supply non standard (i. E. 4m high) glass panels for the doors? Id hate to divide the panels....

Look into GAF Solar Shingles.
Solar roofing for your home | GAF Energy
Not a fan of placing anything on top of roofing that'll need periodic servicing. Seen countless times how roofs, w/ so much attention put into their installation to ensure longterm dry shelter, get irreversibly damaged by 3rd party(HVAC, Solar, communications, etc) guys who only give a damn about their own tasks....& all you get are apologies.[emoji2957] My OCD dictates me to avoid them like the plague. Haha.

Otherwise its too expensive to heat the pool.

Solar shingles or if you have some spare space, a mini solar farm perhaps?[emoji4]

Ganyan pala dapat. Stainless nga gutter namin pero rivet + silicon ang joints. Ayun may leaks sa ibang joints. Special welding daw pag stainless tapos hindi basta kakapit ang paint?

Riveted SS gutters are only a slight upgrade to regular rust-prone ones. Proper paint type & prep are key. Powdercoat is even an option if short selective sections can fit the oven. The welded & painted SS gutters we've long installed have remained leak/rust/trouble free w/o any signs of peeling. UV & the elements will eventually degrade any finish though.

Why do you have to weld the gutters? Are the rivets not strong enough? I'm sure it's not because so it won't leak, as it's raining man [emoji12]

To rid the reliance on sealants which have limited service life. Welds last & stay watertight. Constant leaks will lead to rot or rust on its mated surfaces like fascia boards( even the ficem type) or metal purlins behind & might eventually affect the eaves & its fasteners. Worse if those gutters are hidden.
My personal preference? No gutters or just on vital areas esp those concentrated valleys. In place of them are ground trenches to collect the rainfall. Zero maintenance.[emoji4]

Bale huwag lang doon sa mga dadanan ng tao/car. Otherwise basa sa waterfalls. Hehe.

Doon naman sa rain gutter grill/screen/mesh para hindi mag-collect at bara ng mga dahon... wala yatang ready made available locally, kailangan pa-customize?

Lotsa gutter spout strainers online. Unless you opt ųPVC gutters, most are custom fabricated...won't take much to add a protective screen.
Below is a sample of selective 'seamless' stainless corner gutter catching 2 valleys. No rivets, watertight & straight w/ no fillers. The 2 spouts have not been installed at the time the pic was taken.

Oo nga, mayroon pala online. Wala talaga sa mga hardware store na puwede mo makita sukat. May nakapag-install na from online sellers at standard ang width?

Ayos. Challenge nga itong slope, madaming stairs. Hehe.

Kung iyong driveway/garage aabot sa likod at ilalim ng pool, okay siguro may railings sa dulo ng back driveway bago umabot sa terraced garden? For safety.

Iyong water tank sa rooftop, ground level, or underground? Maganda nga may water tank at solar for emergencies.

[EQAddict]

No water tank. Malakas tubig dito thankfully. If there is an emergency... Theres always the pool hehe.

But yes Solar and solar water heating on the roof tops.

When I renovated my house more than 10 yrs ago, i have added an overhead tank good for 2 days use.

Very useful especially pag may water shortage or may typhoon.
