After many many months of looking at house design books and websites we decided to start drawing our own ideas. Our building site sits on top of a slope that is a little narrow due to the fact that we think we are going to keep the current septic tank in its current location. The slope would allow for a basement. We wanted to do a garage / basement so as to not have a large garage as the first thing you see when you get to the house. Here is a picture of the view standing at the approximate level of the top of the basement.
Zach has AutoCad 2006 software that he used for some of his engineering classes and currently at his job. So almost every day we are making additions and changes to our plans. We both want a second story (master bedroom). After many alterations we have come up with a plan that we consistently like; however, on the links below I still need to arrange the interior of the bathrooms (both of them). It is amazing how much you have to think about (cabinets, windows, floor height, etc). I often think to go to a designer to draw up our plans, but Zach thinks he can do the work, and so far he has done great. I'll keep you posted on the progress.
Here is the 1st Level floorplan with a blue line outlining where the second story would go. 2nd story floorplan. The basement will be approximately 600 square fee. The 1st floor around 1600 square feet, and the 2nd floor at 625. Our idea is to have an open floor plan (kitchen, dining, living area) with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths. A basement for a two car garage with extra storage space.
I'll work on finding a way to get better AutoCad drawings on this site. We have 3D versions of the house on AutoCad that would be cool to let you see...
