I’d like to experiment with rammed earth and mud flooring for this project. The project is to extend an attic space and its small balcony into a larger room with a workspace & to ensure that the structure is sitting strong. I’d also like to renovate the flooring for the room beneath the attic. I have attached some reference images for what I would like the space to look like. But, I do not have photos of the current space. I would appreciate it if you could come and have a look asap. Address is 8 Ferndale Road West Bank.

I'm making a research to ensure that I get something that is satisfying & affordable at the same time, for this reason would appreciate assistance from a professional that is good in architectural communications. Below I've attached an image of the design that I want for the professional to know what he/she will be dealing with.

I am not sure if it's the right move to remodel the existing structure as to try and fix/cover the damaged areas
