This is basically a big hall/barn style house and all rooms inside will be dry walling. It will be a rectangular structure with folding doors in the front and an outside door in the back with a double garage attached. The walls should be 3 meters high as the main bedroom will be on a deck over the back side/kitchen area of the house. The two bathrooms will be above each other, with 5 windows at the bottom equally spaced to allow for 5 of 4 meter rooms whick includes the bathroom. There will not be a conventional ceiling in the house only boards in between the roof structures. But I need advice for the rooms. The kitchen and bottom bathroom will be beneath the deck which will act as a ceiling.
