You opt for 5mm tempered lami glass which is much stronger than normal glass ... but if given ample time and tools, the burglar will still be able to break in.

I use 8mm tempered lami glass as flooring for my fish pond and its safe for human traffic on top of it.

thanks for the suggestion. we indeed have positioned the layout so that the wind is directed into the house, tho not following the one in your picture.
reason being, the wind do get quite violent at times, so arranging large glass panels directly opposing them is avoided in my design.

the side of the house facing the wind direction are filled with bedrooms. nice view from the bedroom, smaller glass panels facing the wind and hidden from the entrance/service road.

you're considering that much glass panel to your design? it's gonna be hard to secure from break-ins with that much unprotected glass. and adding iron grille to it would just be too ugly.
what's your idea on this issue?

wahlauweh. issit true? at the recent homedec, i was quoted something around ~RM70+ psft for folding doors and windows with 8.38mm laminated glass. indeed i'm considering them as the budget for folding door & window is RM20k.

gosh. all this discussion make me wanna revise the plan, AGAIN. arghhhh

yea, we prefer natural lighting and a bit more breeze, so we have to compromise that for higher budget on security systems

we allocate this budget on slightly better aluminium doors/windows with security tinted glass and a better lock mechanism and hinges. grilles are not our cup of tea too due to aesthetic reasons and also it doesn't 100% deter would be burglars breaking in, more to delaying their time.

our planned security system would have these layers:

layer 1. perimeter guard
layer 2. secure windows/door
layer 3. vibration/motion sensors

perimeter guard:

How about a one piece slanted cantilever roof.

something like this?

Kitchen should not be too near to main door.

Wet kitchen ... heavily ventilated ?

Stuffing fiberglass in the air gap of the HT wall ?

Structural drawing ?

impressive, as an architect, i like 17 inch pitch roof, anything regarding the design layout, can ask me, i can give my opinion.

Thnks!
