Split Bedroom Privacy
A key characteristic of this home plan is the separation and privacy of bedrooms. Each room, including the kid bedrooms, have at least a hallway or neutral zone between them. This creates visual and acoustical privacy for each member of the family or visiting guests.
This sense of privacy is carried into the number and location of bathrooms, as the home is equipped with full-size resident bathrooms and a guest bathroom. All of which are positioned to be hidden from view.
Open Entertainment Space
The heart center of the home is in it’ s free-roaming open concept. The main neutral areas: living room, kitchen, dining / eating area, and outdoor deck / patio, spaces are completely interconnected. Visual cues and furniture arrangements act as spacial dividers instead of walls. This open concept allows a home, such as this one, with a smaller footprint to give the impression of a large spacial experience.
It is excellent for guest entertainment throughout the entire day and / or evening. The outdoor deck / patio space is within reach, making every square foot useful and enjoyable.
Spacial Dividers
The front covered entryway is accompanied with a cedar column. This column has a structural purpose, visual characteristics, but also a spacial responsibility. It creates the divide between the exterior and interior space of the home. It prepares the inhabitant for a sense of shelter or place as he or she crosses this invisible line.
The cedar column is reintroduced on the ceiling as a cedar beam. The beam shares the same longitudinal coordinate as the column, along with the responsibility as an acting spacial divider. Here the beam provides a visual and physical separation between the living room and kitchen areas.
The home is made up of many characteristics and details, but the three elements of: privacy, entertainment, and spacial cues, are its most prominent.
