JC-104 plans roughed out

I have assigned a plan number to my latest customer job, it is JC-104. I use a simple chronological numbering system for plans rather than try to devise a name for each plan.

At this point, the design is much the same as what the customer and I talked about during our last meeting. During that meeting, we mapped out a basic layout. Now comes the task of converting these rough sketches into a floor plan that will stay within the desired foot print as well as meet a number of other criteria.

This plan has a large dining area to accomodate a number of people. The kitchen is also large with an island that will help in preparing food as well as serving. There is a garage and 3/4 bath behind the kitchen. The garage that is not shown in the images below will be to the left/west side of the house. The living room is large and on the southeast side of the house. There are a number of large windows on the south side of the house to allow for passive solar gain in the winter. Either the roof eaves or an awning will shade these windows during the summer months.

The master suite is on the northeast side of the house allowing for a great view of the lake. I am waiting on some feedback from the clients bore I add additional details to the design.

Below are a couple of ideas that I laid out. They vary slightly in size and configuration.

The design above is smaller, more in line with the desired footprint.

This design is a little larger, offering an additional room on the main level.
