Re-designing a Standard Plan

Every client approaches the design of their new home differently.  This particular client, a canine police officer, was very hands on throughout the entire project and we worked very closely on getting the home plan exactly the way he wanted it.  He began with making changes to the standard Lakeport design.

He began with looking at the site and actually measuring spaces.  Although he liked the plan itself the actual rooms were too small and because of the location he wanted more outdoor space.  As he is tall we raised the plate height to 9 feet, added square footage and a wrap around porch.

As we began the drafting process we reversed the house and put in two garage doors instead of one.

In the final plan a wall was added to define the entry and pocket doors were used for the den to make this a more public area and to open it into the main living space.

And as the floor plan developed the client decided on a more sophisticated roof design to complement the wrap around porch.

Driving around we had a lot of fun sending pictures back and forth to get the pitch of the new roof just right.
