A thick concrete wall can keep your house cool. Steel will make your house hot unless you insulated the walls well. Insulated walls don't work very well in a flood zone. When they get wet, you need to tear them apart. You will need concrete for the foundation most likely unless you are driving steel pylons. There is probably a combination of the two that will suit your needs best. It would be helpful to know what you want to achieve by using steel. There are advantages to both. Steel floors can be cantilevered further. It is easier to make bigger window openings. Floor and roof spans can be lighter and quicker to build with steel, but the roof will get hotter and therefore need good insulation and need to be well ventilated. These are just general assumptions of certain building practices so that you know what to ask people where you live. The practices and resources vary from place to place and building something for a specific purpose can change the benefits of one material or the other. My best guess is that you will probably want to use both.

I am trying to arrange my non-electric water filter on a quirky stand in my small kitchen, the normal plastic stands make it look very cheap, looking for any ideas on brands/shops/websites to find one. I once saw a bottle cap foldable stand that actually looks cool when placed anywhere in a corner but not able to find it anywhere..

Hi. 1. Install hydraulics on existing shelving. But before installing that go for a washable paint. Kitchens get dirty daily and you can clean the inside easily. They will cost you less and you will have maximum space. 2. Install few rods to hang in your essentials. 3. Get a pantry section done. 4. Use vertical arrangements for cabinets so that your kitchen stuff stays inside giving a cool look on the outside. 5.If possible get a sink done in utility area so your kitchen is always tidy. 6. Try not to waste your space in the kitchen in case you have the utility area near to kitchen just by providing lpg storage in utility area. 7. Paint colours of walls, Tiles and laminates of cabinets/shutters should be contrasting each other to give a good look.

Lavanya, Which car should I buy :D .. Without knowing your personality type and preferences a random suggestions for your interiors would not be adding much value and may even confuse you. Best way is to look around , see what you like, keep a note of it , plan your budget and then seek professional help/advice. Hope it makes sense. Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs Bangalore
