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 want to break down my bathroom wall and extend the bathroom onto the porch. The porch will then be extended towards the the boundary of the yard.

I need an 8-bedroom, 8 bathroom double/triple storey house, extension of an old house and a wall fencing. 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.
