We are in the planning stages of building our house, and it has been painfully slow. One of the major hiccups was the "pitch" of the house. Because its a one story house- it looks better with a steeper roof. So, we proposed a 5:12 pitch. But our planner didn't like that, and told us we had to do a 6:12 pitch..... we refused. We were in code, and the aesthetics of the house will look better. Well, after three weeks of letters, pictures, visits to the neighborhood (all by Steve's part)--- we WON!!!! Yipee for us. Now, we can finally move to the next step... hiring a structural engineer. This is basically what the house is going to look like:
This is the floor plan-you probably can't read anything because its too small... but I'm very excited about the prospect of more than 1 bedroom!!!
We are really into fiber cement board as the siding-- in a dark color as below-- with white trim around the windows. I think it looks elegant, and will fit into the neighborhood.
We liked this dormer (the little architectural element above the garage)-- and the idea of a white garage against the dark background of the house. I'm not sold on the "curvy" garage doors- I think we are sticking to square... we love craftsman style houses.
Okay- I could post pictures for hours... I must stop.
