After fielding many requests... the design!

Floor 2:
The stairs can be found in the large square opening. From the first floor, you'll walk into another communal space. We plan to have our desks here as well as extend the living space. The laundry room and powder room are found off the hallway. Further along, you can go up the stairs or turn right down the hall. Here you will find a couple closets, as well as two bedrooms. They are adjoined by a Jack-N-Jill bathroom.

Floor 1:
You enter on the east side of the building; the stairs ascend directly in front of you. To the right is a small closet. Adjacent is the living room. The fireplace is on the north wall. From there, a long bench, with storage inside, lines the wall. It curves at the end to make a breakfast nook area. A slatted wall will reside directly behind the nook. Across from the bench is the kitchen. The south wall is a party wall; we share that wall with our next door neighbors. That wall in the kitchen will house the refrigerator and tall cabinets. As you turn towards the front door, you are in front of the range & oven. A taller counter will abut it to form a bar with room for 4 stools with the stairs above. The kitchen cabinets and sink continue the U shape. A skylight will bring sun down to the kitchen through the stairs. Directly west of the kitchen is a pantry. Beyond that is a larger coat closet and a powder room. The dining room lies at the west end of the building with french doors opening onto a patio.

Floor 3:
Having climbed the stairs to the third floor, you find yourself in a corridor. To the right is a bedroom with its own bathroom. At the top of the stairs is the mechanical room and a space that we will make into a mini-exercise room. Walk to the left and you enter the master suite. Follow the hallway to the left and you will find a series of closets. It leads you into the bedroom. You can circle back to the stairs via the master bath which has a shower, two sinks and a separate toilet room.
There you have it. We have a few more tweaks here and there, but for the most part, this is our home's design. While this project is not without its headaches, we are thrilled and honored to be building our dream home.

How exciting! Makes my knees hurt to see all of those stairs, but I remember that you city folk have to grow upwards. Do you have some outdoor living space to grow your tomatoes and basil?
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the CONstruction move ahead, now that we've experienced the DEconstruction!
Thanks Johanna. We are pretty excited about it all. While we won't have as much space as you enjoy, we will have plenty of planters on the patio and on the outdoor stairwell landings. We are even plotting for our chicken coop. Can we come visit this summer? I'd love to see you and your lovely home.
