1.0 Design Statement

1.1 Rooflights to Front Elevation The roof lights are located over the breakfast table in the kitchen to create a light breakfast room. There will be three rooflights.

1.2 Rooflights to Rear Elevation The roof lights are located over the staircase to bring light to the ground floor circulation space. There will be three rooflights.

1.3 Windows to sides of Front Porch The addition of two small windows to either side of the porch is to let light into the porch and the immediate hallway.

1.4 Windows to South Elevation The windows in the first-floor lounge have been increased to double doors with the same proportions as the windows, the proportions typical of a Manx rural building, and a Juliet balcony to prevent falling. The two ground floor windows have been omitted as they didn’t look right below the larger double doors.

1.5 Additional Window to West Elevation The addition of a window in the western elevation is to replace one of the windows omitted on the south elevation at ground floor.

1.6 Wall in Place of Railing to Rear Terrace The decision to change the railings to a wall was due to ease of detailing the waterproofing and for ease of maintenance. It wasn’t felt that the railings added anything to the aesthetics of the project.

1.7 Office Door on North Elevation Recessed The door to the office has been recessed to allow for the passage of a rainwater pipe from the terrace above.
