change to garden elevation

I've revised the design to the garden elevation. Finally managed to believe that I don't need a column in the middle of the windows (this is an aesthetic thing rather than structural).

So I can have 2 large sliding doors that totally slide out of the way to open up the living room to the garden.





Behind are 8 sliding shoji screens (not shown) which can also slide out of the way, I have altered the stair configuration to leave 800mmx350mm space to stack up the shoji when not in use.
