BEFORE THE ARCHITECT – THE BIG PICTURES
MAJOR PLAN SETS, NEOMEXICAN COLONIAL WITH (NEW) OLD GARAGE AND WORKSHOP
. . . . .
Respectfully, we note that the initial clarity of the .pdfs to
follow is not without our hand in it along with disabling assistance of deeply
seamed technology. Take a deep breath: the closer you get to the pic, the
clearer the image.

The Cover Sheet speaks to the voluminous package, which volume was fed in part by post-stock plan purchase to move the garage in the stock plan to a detached (puristically, semi-detached) status to make room for a sizeable guest suite and part for all the interior details. Therefrom, we get added foundation, floor, wiring and roof plans. (If you engender an interest in this stock plan or in our work on that plan for your own benefit, please contact the stock plan authors as identified on each sheet at the lower left margin. Matters of any more designing on this stock plan are out of our hands without the express, written agreement between the stock plan authors and owners.)
Built slab-on-grade, the L1 floor plan's original was substantially altered to client need, e.g., among others -
 |
More master bath counter space |
|
A safe room (not labeled by choice) to sit within His closet (very, very tight and creative fit after a lot of toing and froing with both manufacturers and a maturing floor plan |
|
New Florida room (4-season) to push into the Veranda with more interior, informal, distinctly separate space - which space is primarily daylighted not from the Veranda but from the open ceiling to L2 at the back of house humongo dormer you'll see soon. |
|
Essentially a wall of glazes between Florida and Great that took us working with engineers at two firms to make it happen based on our own design validated. |
|
Kitchen rearranged to dead-space the work area, add a wine cooler, more counter, etc.]. |
|
Lo-L1 stairway layout anew to even-up tread width. |
|
A more convenient Mud both functionally with the settle and storage and utility-wise with a water heater closer to Kitchen |
|
A utility circulation pattern between house and Veranda including the backside, right wing hall. |
|
Entirely added guest suite. |
And more.
As for details, here come some indications -
|
A foundation plan typical of our work and, to our knowledge, no one else's for detail and rational redundancies |
|
A casing plan for L1 that attempts on the one hand to take strategic decisions of design from the finish carpenters and put 'em up to us and the owners while giving the pros plenty of latitude to make it right to their own experienced sense of things decorative |
|
An electrical plan for the main house at L1 that's intended to make the best of safety, durability, and convenience. |
|
A roof plan for the house itself that more carefully than most defines what goes where atop for the roof truss engineer to work out with both eyes open |
|
A whole house section to make a serious point seriously; namely, the orientation of interior elements - most notably the L2 Balcony - with the Back of House dormer windows so that not only light but view are bettered. |
This is the Back Of House elevation of the imposing structure, included to note -
|
The multivehicle and workshop addition of a stylistically older structure breezewayed to the main house, |
|
Spiral stairs added to enable traffic circulation between key parts of L2 - open deck, pool room and bar, bath - and L1 exterior, |
|
The big dormer added to let daylight to Florida (downlighting) and Great (lighting high and across) and to let view to Balcony at L2 |
