Overall design of the house

Below are a few drawings that show: (1) the placement of the house on the lot; (2) the overall look; and (3) the floor plan. You probably will need to zoom in with your browser to see these drawings.

Placement on Lot
First, here is how the home is placed on the lot (0.8 acres). North is about straight up and the driveway enters the lot from the street at the bottom and sweeps to the east. The 3-car garage is at the rear of the home, at about a 45 degree angle from the house. Many of the trees shown have been removed at this point (as you can see from the video in the previous post).

Overall Look
Below are a couple of snapshots from the 3D model of our home. The top shot gives an overall view of the home and the bottom is more detail of our master bedroom area and the approximate view from the street. The screenshots are from the Revit program the architects (TKP in Golden) used to design the home. The ground will slope up as you go from the bedroom (at left) toward the garage (at right).

Floor Plans

Below is the floor plan for the first level (simplified from the final construction drawing). It has 2,800 sq ft. finished. For scale, the Great Room/Kitchen room is 40' long from top to bottom.

Below is a snap shot from the construction drawings of the lower level, which will have 1,600 sq ft. finished and has three bedrooms for guests. It shows lots of detail, but you can still get the overall feel of the lower level. The empty space in the upper right is unfinished storage (about 1,000 sq. ft.).
