Discuss your Troon projectBEFORE YOU DESIGN
Three checks worth making.
Consider privacy and neighbouring outlook when proposing larger areas of glazing.
Check planning constraints, existing permissions and building warrant requirements separately.
PUTTING IT INTO PRACTICE
A typical design question.
A rear extension with substantial glazing: assess solar gain, privacy, wind exposure, structure and the heating strategy rather than concentrating only on appearance.
This is an illustrative project scenario, not a claim about a completed Nicoll Design commission.RELEVANT SERVICES
