Expandable Design #1
Expandable Design #1
Comparison: The core plan for design #1, #2 share some similarities- such as the central fireplace assembly, the corner stair location, and the front and side entry elements. But with a little examination one notices that some differences and details have these 2 plans live differently. Examining comparable plans sharpens evaluation skills.
This design: The front of this design is not regulated by symmetry as is #2. This design swaps the positioning of kitchen and table areas which- because of the central fireplace assembly- changes the relationship with the living area. A result is the kitchen lives bigger this plan, and the living space lives smaller. The front entry is more comfortable having the table space right there rather than the kitchen space. Another distinction is the larger side entry-utility function outside the 24' box. And on the upper level this plan dedicates more space to the bedrooms, and less to the bath and stair landing area.
Style: This front presentation is not symmetry driven so its appearance is a bit more casual and shows with a more casual siding material. Probably this design 'style' could fit comfortably in a lot of settings.
