Floor Plan - Draft Two

Ok, so this is the (hopefully) final floor plan.  We went to see the architect last Thursday and this is the latest after a few tweaks.  I have to say, I know I am a bit anal retentive and  picky, but Super Chuck went over this baby with fine tooth comb and moved a few windows and doors to accommodate furniture and the view.  I guess all those years writing code and staring at a computer screen looking for glitches has given him a gift (OCD???) for detail!!!!  There you have it!!  The next visit to the architect, which is scheduled for Monday, will involve seeing plans that include elevation.  The walls are going up and the facade will be part of that!!  I can't wait to see what he comes up with.  We told him we wanted a mid-century modern look that includes local stone.  So, be on the lookout next week for the next step in the process!!!  It's getting exciting, people!!!

First draft of the floorplan

Excuse me...

Uh, hi. Just "super husband" here with a technical post (I make that reference with all due humility). We had our meeting with the architect last week to get our first look at the floorplans, and it was my job to get them scanned and posted. Aside from saying that we're pretty happy with the first cut and that we've got some changes coming with the next draft (due later this week), I'll leave the colorful, thought-provoking, and insightful commentary to my better half. Who is also very super, by the way. And I'm not just saying that because she knows that I waited to the last minute to get my card done for our anniversary yesterday. I really mean it.

Anyway, here's the floorplan image, and the lot image to give some perspective on where the house will sit and it's relative size. The lot is on the south side of the street, so the top of the lot image is the street (the floorplan image is rotated, with the front door at the bottom). That funky sideways "L" is just a placeholder for the pool. The pictures are small here, but if everything works according to plan, you should be able to click the links below them to see the images in all their zoomable glory.
