Our friend David Rousseau has been working on a design for our house, with lots of input from us of course. Today we marked out the floor plan on the site just to see how it works.
You'll need to enlarge this shot (just click on it) to see the pink tape that marks the house perimeter. Basically the design is in a V formation with a deck between the two arms of the V. In the foreground is a gap in the tape that marks the main entrance from the carport. To the left is the kitchen, beyond that the dining room. Then there will be french doors opening onto a deck between the two arms of the V shaped plan.
The wire drum in the middle is where there would be a spiral staircase to the second floor.
The living room will be a few steps down from the rest of the house with a SW aspect looking across the field towards the tent in the far corner.
This view is from the centre of the house with the dining area on the right and the kitchen beyond.
At the back of the house there's a master bedroom, bathroom, small office and laundry/mud room.
Upstairs will be a multi purpose room (spare bedroom etc) and a small bathroom.
The carport would cover where my truck is parked.This is just a concept at this stage, but I think it has some interesting possibilities. I think the deck between the two "wings" will be a very nice spot to sit out in summer time.
I also like the big, "sunken" living room which will have a in-floor heating and a nice wood stove. Mmmmm cosy!
Lots of discussion and fine tuning before we settle on a final plan. But this is a great start.
