FLOOR PLAN

We initially started this project as a two story based on Dwell's "Next House" with a main floor master and bedrooms upstairs located around a central area open to living below.  Cost considerations moved us to a ranch with bedrooms in the basement.  From here we found a lot with walkout potential and covenants that would not restrict roof pitch or building materials.

We basically kept the "Next House" floor plan concept with an addition to get a guest bedroom / office.  Main floor is at 2469 square feet.  Living area will be vaulted using exposed glue-lams.  Garage space was doubled - more room for mostly bicycles and a shop area.  The 90-degree orientation of the garages allows for minimizing the driveway width going to the street.

Basement has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and 2 large open family areas.  Walkout is on the right side below.
