Note:
- Front-loaded plans typically have the family room & kitchen (1st flr) and master suite (2nd flr) located at the rear of the house, as is the case with this set of plans with exception to 2nd Flr C, which is a variation placing the master suite at the front of the house... a porch off the master bedroom, stacked above the 1st Flr front porch, could be an option.
- Flexibility in use of space was of great interest while designing the floor plan variations.
- The garage could be flipped, front-to-back, if the plan was revised for a rear-loaded lot.
Really nice work. I love the rigor of the plans. I have been trying to create decent front access plans as well, but without being able to create something this emphatically clear. There is great opportunity to work with different paving materials: perhaps the motor court is crushed stone (if budget is a concern) or brick pavers. You might consider eliminating the radius edges at the corners--it is a bit of a car detail. You can add bollards or stones if you want to keep the car from hitting the house or add potted plants if you want greenery.
ReplyDeleteOverall a really nice courtyard type.
Thanks Robert... great suggestions.
ReplyDeletePlans look great Chad. 1st Floor B is tops for me, great having the use flexibility of the front room and also having a defined entry experience. You've done a great job lining things up, you might consider adjusting how you treat the refrigerator side wall facing the dining--if part of it is pilaster and the rest is cabinetry you can create the perception that the opening between rooms is centered. 2nd Floor C looks best because it has 3 total bedrooms and the master bathroom feels much bigger.
