This French Manor began as a layout of room sizes in a general relationships of one room to the other, and then was elevated to determine how it would look.
It is important to take a 2 dimensional drawing and look at it from various angles. This will open up discussion on what does not look right or relate well to the look of the house.
How to use the backyard is one of the most important outdoor consideration, since this will be where you enjoy your free time and how to relax in your home.
The site plan is a good way to show some of the landscape possibilities in relationship to the placement of the house.
The aerial view can show show you sun angles that will shade the house.
The City House
This is a two-story house of approximately 4,000sf shown in stucco and stone.
Again, the site plan shows the possibilities of house to remaining yard area and where a pool could go. The house is on a corner lot that is 80 x 120, which has certain restrictions to consider.
This is a project where the garage was placed in front due to lot restriction, and how you can dress up this element with attractive garage doors and columns.
We did the Hill Country House as a new collection of designs relating to the Texas Hill County. The material used is a stone veneer facade.
