The Relaxation Vault needs to be a fully equipped albeit compact chamber for the maintenance of organic specimens.Me2005 wrote:Couldn't you put the toilet under the stair? Maybe you don't want to run plumbing all over, but that's close to the other room and it'd separate them.
Also that stairwell space will be packed with electrical support equipment (e.g. isolation transformers, chargers, batteries, switchgear) so I'd rather not introduce additional plumbing.
For the lower level, the perimeter drainage channel will have slope, possibly there should be drains with direct pipes to the sump embedded in the 100 mm floor screed as well. For the upper level simple direct slope is ok as you say.Me2005 wrote:Make sure to slope everything towards drainage (garage floor slopes to garage door, lower level slopes toward sump, roof slopes toward door unless you build a French drain somewhere else).
The contractor has suggested coarse gravel around the footings with filter fabric over, perforated drain pipes around the perimeter with transfer pipes cast into the footings to under the slab, leading to two 1.2 m diam x 1m depth perforated concrete soakaways at the shallow end (will also connect to rainwater downpipes). Sump pump outlet pipe will direct to a third soakaway situated on the other side of the lawn.Any thought to drainage around your building yet? Soil is great at holding water and causing leaks.
The marble floor & walls were suggested by the contractor also;

Blofeld, Scaramanga, Pryce; visionary thought leaders come to us because we understand that a lab space needs to be equipped for biogenic weapon development while still providing fine dining for entertaining captured spies. We can bring a touch of class and a timeless modernist design aesthetic to even the smallest of facilities, while our seamless integration of death traps will ensure that those visiting IRS agents remain oblivious to their fate until the last moment. When Hugo Drax requested a wet bar right next to a rocket exhaust tunnel, it was Lair Concepts that invented insulation based on reprocessing damaged orbiter tiles, keeping the vodka-martinis chilled even while the space shuttles were launching. When Karl Stromberg's operation suffered from unacceptably high henchperson death rates due to water infilitration into the electrical substations, we pioneered a new quadruple layer basement waterproofing system rated to 500m under the Atlantic ocean.
