Thanks. The ceiling height is 9'6". Suspended ceiling preferably made with POP placed in situ shall result in a plenum of not less than 15" considering an acceptable height of about 8' at bottom of ceiling from floor level. Two ceiling fans of sweep 48" each placed at first and third middle quarter also needs to be integrated with ceiling profile. Will send ceiling and all around room pictures shortly after compiling. Thanks again.

Thanks Patricia and cpaul! I hadn't thought about glass. And I guess I should specify that a fully modular kitchen would not withstand the climate lol. The doors and Windows in General are traditionally made of teak wood and do warp somewhat but it's not a huge issue, so I fiured if all I am dealing with in the kitchen is the cabinet door it shouldn't be too hard to maintain. I actually ended up finding a blog about someone living in the tropical Philippine weather and how they covered their concrete counter with cabinets. Here is the link if anyone is interested http://myphilippinelife.com/our-philippine-house-project-kitchen-cabinets/ I think it turned out quite nice :) . This was their starting and final result. there are more photos in the blog. They basically recommended some prefabricated cabinets and strong hinges and screws for the wood frame.

Well All LEDs emit heat and if you don't provide a heat sink( moslty copper or aluminium) which helps dessisipate heat so that LED can work for a long time but I mostly see people use recessed light with false ceiling and I'm not a fan of false ceiling but I want recessed lighting so I can provide the holder and the profile in which the bulb gonna be placed while poruing concrete so that I don't have to drill later but I'm concerned about aluminium profile since they react with concrete.

Hello there, If you don't want to put load on your foundation, why don't you put a pergola of cement/steel/wood instead of a concrete roof slab? You could do a bit of landscaping too and could fully utilise the terrace. Regards, Aurum Ideas and Spaces Bhubaneswar
