hi everyone i have had a fun week at work modelling my bosses house to get planning permission for a new extension and loft conversion makes a change
from modelling building services what do you guys think? Im glad i steered well away from a job designing kitchens as i couldn’t take couples arguing
over what they want all day and then getting it at home to lol

I did this kind of roof on my build and it sucks, right pain in the arse and much better to continue the roof without the step back.
Don't know if you do much cooking but the fridge is on the wrong side of the kitchen. Try to keep the sink, dishwasher, cooker and fridge grouped
together. Seems quite a small kitchen for that size of house. Oh and lose the unit in the middle of the room, just get's in the way.
otherwise the house looks fine 
This might also be a good time to ask for a raise, he can't exactly claim times are hard

What did you use to draw that. looks a bit like chief architect. It looks quite good. Ive tried CA before but not being used to CAD it took me ages do
do something half recognisable as a house. I wasnt drawing an existing building though.
Where i live the council dont seem to like people continuing roof lines. For some odd reason they always seem to make extensions step back so the
houses look extended.
Kitchen does look a little small to have an island but it might work, loks like there is about 600 - 800mm down either side if its all to scale. Im
not always keen on grouping all of the appliances together. Often positions of windows and outside walls dictate where things are best located but i
try and follow the working triangle principle. I site items that need external venting on outside walls (extractors, tumble driers etc). Items that
use water together (convenient for drains).
What i sthe bit on the side in first pic next to extension - looks like a smoking shelter.
My only comment is that the extension doesnt look very big. Other than that its anice looking property.

some good points there mr whippy especially the rise the new 911 turbo s drop top and range rover sport in the dabble garage that i have yet to
model underline the fact that money is not a problem for sum.
I have used google sketchup to model this as its quick and easy to use for this type of thing very easy to use the most simple 3d cad package to get
to grips with and its free which is the reason we are using it. alot of models that people have uploaded onto the net that can be used to build
things quickly. The small part on the side is a entrance to the new utility room and the extension is a possible office so is not to big. The dormer
windows are also new as it has catslide type windows at present which look very 70s. As darrenw says the kitchen layout is basically the same as the
existing one Windows and doors get in the way if things are moved about to much. i have renovations about the island in the middle myself. but What
the boss wants ... lol

(sorry - couldnt resist). thanks Darren we have produced cad layouts and elevations to so should be a very good looking proposal when all is finished. I may start to do this kind of thing freelance at the weekends when the car is finished to get some cash to keep it on the road.
I think it's much too big. 
Oh no, it's just the picture you posted 
The hob, sink and fridge are fine if the island goes, as they are in a reasonable triangle (for the size of kitchen).
But if it stays you/he need to move something otherwise it will be a real pain after a couple of days walking around the damn thing.
