Dear Vinod, That's what happens when you give a project to a carpenter cause they view it as the single element and can't imagine where and how it is going on with the space around. "They literally don't care" except the money they save in that project. As the wardrobe is glossy and dark gray you have to make-over everything in that room to makle it look better. So better go for removing it which is more economical, and if your wardrobe is done with solid wood or timber just go for wood finish paints (veener/varnish/some other) or else go for duco paint or any other that can be applied on it. But BETTER consult a Designer or an Architect to those kind of works not carpenter or some vender. And lastly remove that funky looking overhead outcrop. Have a nice day

Hello there, You need to consult with a local architect first for the layout and plan approval. They will provide you with floor plan and furniture layout, 3D elevations etc. Also, they would send them for approvals. What you're asking for is a paid professional service. Please consult locally first. Else, if you need anything specific, please feel free to connect with us. Also, your budget is too tight for 800 sqft unless it is an open plan. Cost of construction starts from 1100-2000/ sqft depending on materials and contractor. Usually that will cover design and approvals costing as well. Regards, Aurum Ideas and Spaces Bhubaneswar

Jeco, Price variations do often confuse a home owners. Going a bit off topic, often we have to politely say no to clients who are looking for a fixed cost on day 1. The design evolves over a period. Pricing is extremely sensitive to location and materials selected. For example there are materials that would start from 60 sft to 1000 sft which can be used for this external construction. Unless that material is specified it is difficult to pindown the price. Having said that it should be in the range of 2-5 lakhs in Bangalore. This idea definitely looks good but have you considered that this is a terrace sit out and design and the requirements of porch are completely different. For example you may not want rain water to fall on the cars underneath ? Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs, Bangalore.
