The Latest Two Story Option
Posted on | November 4, 2008 |
Well, we think the most recent design really nails it. After our discussions with Monica about the problems we foresaw with the beautiful but overdone three story house, we asked her to “fill in” the loft space on the second floor. This house is much more in line with our original goals of having a house without a centimetre of wasted space. Highly energy efficient, and still artfully built with a few tasty details.
Ground Floor of 2 Story Layout
Second Floor of 2 story layout
Some of the highlights of this plan include:
- Back entrance
- Covered wood storage in the back
- Open concept kitchen, dining and great room
- An away room with pocket doors so it doubles as a guest room
- 9 foot ceiling in great room for some visual space differentiation
- Steps up into the girls room
- back jut out room on second floor with space for our treadmill (very important)
Yes, this plan does put the girls together and this isn’t necessarily the best thing, but the room is big enough that they will have their own space and we could split it down the middle somehow. We’re not really concerned about this.
What do you think?

Hi Guys,
I love the new design! I really like the guest room and the family room combination.
I have one suggestion; you may want to use pocket doors for your laundry/treadmill room; you wouldn’t want to cover your windows. Looks great!

They can always do the Les Nessman thing and put tape on their floor where the wall would divide them :o)
