Re: Timothy Hatton

If you go to architect's website and then go to 'projects' and select country house buckinghamshire, you will see where we are staying. it's brilliant and to be here makes all difference to me/R.

Yes, good point. When R is giving Brazilian pilates instructions to his mother, it is bit loud. But there are sliding doors that give privacy. It has many windows that are surrounded by great views. Rothschilds seem to own large part of Bucks

This may say more about you There are sun blinds and black outs worked electronically on every window. You can pull them all down and live in one blacked cave ! I am in far dining room and I can hear R with TV. Nice. If I didn't want to hear, I cd pull sliding doors shut...

does the noise carry throughout the house.. where do you have a strictly private moment glad to hear youre having fun

my sense is that it doesnt wear well..the transmission of noise and / smells, is in contrast with hundreds of years of being comfortable in a dark one way in cave. also at night, there seems to be little privacy from the ouside. and the reflection on the inside windows of the interior furnitre and white walls. gets to me. I usually end up in the room where i can be caved- in.
