Indeed, thank you all for your inputs!
I have now 3 main different possible designs, and lots of details to add
here and there that can fit in any of them. that's great! I 'll leave it
like this for a while and see what's going to sediment.
I'll keep you informed in a few months of the follow-up of the story.
Thank you again for responding so quickly and being so generous with your
pieces of advice.
