- The fist fool and the flat surface on the second will be Integral color cement stucco, and the rest of the second floor will be concrete.
Window and door openings: What (are they made of), where (in a wall, recessed or projecting) and how big (list widths and heights)?
- The entry door will be 3’x7′ and made of wood, a recessed door. The windows on the first floor are 8’x5′, 6’x5′, 4’x5′, 2’x5′, and 3’x9′. They all made of glass and place in a wall.

Hi Cy-
I think a building section through your building is a good idea for your unique drawing. Through the stair and showing the 2nd floor terrace is nice. Let’s discuss the materiality of your exterior wall to make sure I’m understanding what you want with stucco and concrete. I’d also like to know where the columns are and which direction your floor joist will run. Look at the Structure post to research the framing and better understand your foundation and concrete floor slab for the ground floor (you can still have a wood finish floor over that).
We’ll discuss some of the questions you have identified in your drawing up at the roof level and how you’re going to make your roof terrace.
