Baba, your eyes ain't deceiving you and we are not performing magic. The 2.1 x 2.4m glass is going up the roof to cover the atrium.

My client actually requested for a house that tick all the boxes without breaking the bank. This is just one of the many interesting features of this build.

I Have been Following closely , have a glass roof / cover over one of my builds at the courtyard , want it to be bright and sunny there

How to keep clean will be a challenge later though apart from cost

It’s pretty easy.

Internally wont be a big challenge.

Externally, you just need to make one or more (depending on the total area covered) of the glass partitions openable to gain access to the roof.

Alternatively, you can access it from the roof slab using an in-wall metal ladder. There’s a proposal to integrate a beautifully crafted one internally on this build.

I fancy this type of roofing. What are the disadvantages pls.

My father built his house with this type of roof in the seventies. One rainstorm in the early 80s took off the upper roof. The house was flooded and a lot of stuff had to be thrown out.

The roof was fixed but it was made a basic roof.

It's an interesting design but I would never adopt it after seeing what happened to my parents.

Innocent question oo...

Is it that most 1.5kva rating only has 1kva output rating? That's 66% efficiency?

I don't know of any disadvantages. We built a similar structure and don't have any issues till date.
won't the rooms be quite hot when the sun is up?

The flat roof offers the same heat resistance as your regular hip roof. The POP ceiling offers significant thermal resistivity, so your rooms would be cool.

Hmmmm...
I feel it's too thin and could shatter if struck from outside or within. Obviously there is no ceiling.


Keep winning Bro



MODIFIED:
10mm is 1cm thickness. That's adequate Bro

Thanks for sharing.

Immediately my client saw the post, he rushed to ask me why I didn’t reply the post. I told him it’s nothing to worry about. 10mm glass is more than adequate for a skylight.

33mm + thickness is good for glass floor. Anything higher fall into bullet resistant ballistic glass class.

To even lift the 10mm glass is a great concern right now grin

That's exactly my fear. Especially since my house is located in the north. It gets very windy.

Need advise from the gurus in the house.

Will there be a structural concern if the design of the rooms/flats on the first floor in a story building is different from the ones on the ground floor. In the current design, I have 1no 2bed, 2no 1bed and a self contain. I intend to eliminate the external staircase that is supposed to lead to the 2bed on the first floor so all the tenants living on the first floor access their flats using the in-door staircase. Plan to have a balcony extension to provide access for the 2bed & 1bed flat.

I have also attached the floor plan for assessment.

Ground floor has been completed and original design for both floors are same.

A good architect should have made it an inside staircase except where the Client said otherwise. Changing the position of staircase will cause you to redesign.

Hello all,

I need your advise on this. There is this building I just secured. I paid the lady 90% of the money and she said she won't release the documents if payments are not completed, so I rallied round and I completed all the payment. And she signed the deed of agreement and every other documents needed.

Now here is the problem. I just discovered there is a tenant in the building and I was told the rent is due in June /July this year. How do I go about evacuating the tenant since am not the one that collected the rent from him and the building is sold already.

There’s no such thing as bad roof but bad installation work.

I’ve been working on a flat roof for almost 3 weeks and we are yet to raise the trusses. The same flat roof can be done in 3 days and we start to blame its failure on the roof design.
