My first hand on SH3D. Planning a new home. Please Advise.
Friends,
i'm new to SH3D world or even to anything related to this. I live in India and I'm planning to build my house.
I initially started out with different softwares as i wanted to design my home. but when i found this beauty called SH3D, i simply loved it and started using it.
Now here is what i have done so far. My plot area n all I have shown in this SH3D file.
My requirement is 3 Bed in total. 1 On GF ,2 on FF. Kitchen, Living and parking space.
I tried this design so far. I need suggestions and alterations from you guys who r experts with it.
Help me with suggestions. As i m no structural engineer i m surely going to visit architect too. but I need to have few designs before i go n meet him.

Hello and welcome,
Thanks brother for heads up.
Your project is interesting. There are surely constraints related to your country.
Here are some remarks:
1. The toilets outside, why? How do you do in bad weather?
One of the toilet placed outside a friend suggested it. But thats not an issue at all. It can be placed anywhere on the Ground Floor.
2. I did not see the bathroom.
On GroundFloor I m trying to place it under the stairs area. On first floor I'm still wondering what shall be the best place for having attached toilet & bath with enough structural strength.
3. I do not see how the big balcony will fit. You can not put a beam in the middle of the parking!
4. No window in "main bed". no window in "bed small".
5. How will your roof be?
6. How will you heat your house?
7. What does OTS mean?
Regards, bdfd.
Let me tell you some facts about weather and materials i m going to use.
Weather is quite habitate over here. Not so many challenges. Temprature is about 21-35 degree celc. whole year. Which includes winter about 18-23 degrees and also heaty summer about 35-39 degrees.
Rainy season here lasts about 4 months and it rains moderately here.
Wind breeze is from West Side ( thats why i opted this land).
Material for wall would be a 9" thick stone.
Roof I will make of concrete, Almost flat ( Will give some minor slop towards the sides as it will help keep rain water to flush away. )
Brother, My basic idea was just only to put plot size and ask for advise. But I thought it would be rude just ask for help without doing anything on a project.
If you wish, you can remove all the elements , all the walls and start fresh. I already mentioned my requirements. But again here it is.
We are family of three. Me , my wife and a kid (5 yrs boy).
We would be more then happy to have just 2 Bed , hall and kitchen all n all. But family and friends suggested one small bed room on the Ground floor.
Yes, I do need balcony, where I can put a Swing bed (small one) facing west.
I need main enterence on Ground floor facing West. Kitchen on South-East.
Thats it. so all n all , 3 bed , hall kitchen with a parking ( I need 10' x 15' for my current car.)
Oh forgot to mention OTS is for Open space for vents and air circulation.

OK.

it's better to have them inside but it's not mandatory ...
On GroundFloor I m trying to place it under the stairs area. On first floor I'm still wondering what shall be the best place for having attached toilet & bath with enough structural strength.
Not easy, it depends if you want a bath or a shower? do not forget to add a window to the outside (in height) for the aeration and the light.

OK, can you send us the plan of this land (without your name of course); the location of the house is also important.

OK, it's a good idea and rain is free.

No but it's an idea to update your project.
We are family of three. Me , my wife and a kid (5 yrs boy). We would be more then happy to have just 2 Bed , hall and kitchen all n all. But family and friends suggested one small bed room on the Ground floor.
Good idea for old days.
Yes, I do need balcony, where I can put a Swing bed (small one) facing west.
Becareful for the general structure. A question, the north is good in your sh3d file ?
I need main enterence on Ground floor facing West. Kitchen on South-East.
It's ok for me, I don't see problems.
Thats it. so all n all , 3 bed , hall kitchen with a parking ( I need 10' x 15' for my current car.)
OK.
Oh forgot to mention OTS is for Open space for vents and air circulation.
OK, in the European houses a 'VMC' (an electric box) is installed connected to each room with flexible hoses for the ventilation (Controlled Mechanical Ventilation)=> search information about it.
Looking forward to seeing the continuation of the plan with the updates. Good luck. bdfd

Re: My first hand on SH3D. Planning a new home. Please Advise.
HERE is something completely different. Ground floor = indoor garage, 2 bed - 2 bath First floor = massive living - kitchen space, 3rd bedroom Roof = massive terrace + space for technical installation, rainwater tank etc
