I'm not sure if this belongs here or somewhere else as there are Insulation, electrical, ventilation, aesthetic and other considerations all rolled in.

This is the layout (subject to planning approval)

and this my idea to remedy the uninsulated original building:

The UFH is already done. Everything else is up for grabs. Some explanations/justifications/concerns here:

MVHR - To maintain humidity control without trickle vents or airbricks
Silicone Render - Open to other ideas
60mm Insulation - Balance between insulation and aesthetics
Shadow Gap - No regular doors downstairs - going for super minimal finish
Mains Wiring - Is this allowed?
Hollow Skirting - Where can I source this?
LVT - Amtico Spacia - Me and Mrs Tet agree, so that's sorted
80mm UFH Screed - I forgot the 5mm SLC float on the diagram. There is 100mm of insulation under the screed

Any thoughts/criticisms/recommendations very welcome

Regards

Tet

PS There are a couple of other windows - those on the floorplan are the full-height openings/glazing
