The
only exterior windows in this burglar proof design are the 1 ft. x 3 ft. windows
set between 7 ft. and 8 ft. off the floor - ceilings are 9 ft. high. All interior
glass panels are 3 ft. by 8 ft., providing day light and sunlight throughout
the day. There are six strategically placed 2 ft. square sky lights illuminating
possibly dark corners.
The
carprt can easily be turned into a double garage with inside secure entry
through the present back door.
The
drive-thru double carport has glass panels between the extruding trellice
supports providing rain free access to the front and back doors.
The
24 ft. diameter patio is completely surrounded by 3 ft. x 8 ft. glass panels
with
two opening glass doors.
Living,
dining, kitchen and main bedroom all face directly into the patio area, and
the second bedroom, study and two bathrooms have glass panels facing the patio
too.
Walk
through continued:
From
the entrance hall one walks
under a 2.5 ft. arch into the main living area with views of most of the house
through glass. The kitchen has an eating bar at the dining side, with a glass
door opening into the patio area for easy access when eating outside.
In
the living area a ceiling mounted drop down TV swivels through 360 degrees
for easy viewing from the kitchen, dining and living areas.
The
8 ft. diameter and 6 ft. deep plunge pool can be covered with inset deck panels
during cooler months to provide for full patio use. Hot water solar panels
on the flat roof will keep the plunge pool warm through most of the year.
The second patio door opens to connect directly with the walk-in shower in
the second bathroom.
The
main bedroom shows a queen sized bed with large closets in the dressing area.
A privacy/sound-proof door is set in the passage close to the soaker tub.
The solid wall next to the tub has towel rails attached. For privacy, the
glass panels have floor mounted roller blinds that pull up from the floor
(rather than down from the ceiling) so that one has privacy when the blinds
are 6 ft off the floor, still providing light from the two feet visible glass
above.
Notice
one closet in the main bedroom has a 7 ft. ceiling to allow light from the
two small windows above it - though there is also a 2 ft. square sky light
above the dressing area.
Notice
also the 2 ft. x 3 ft. concealed safe closet in the main bedroom closet -
will temporarily conceal two people plus valuables.
Walk
through:
The
approach to the front door is under the glazed trellice (similar for back
door). The front entrance hall has a coat closet with small window set above
the closet, plus a 2 ft. square skylight. The study opens off this entrance,
with three glass panels providing a view into the patio area. The closet has
a sliding pocket door, and the room could be a third bedroom if necessary.
The
back door opens into the laundry room, with under counter washer and drier
and shelves above the counter in the corner next to the linen closet. There
is also a broom or coat closet.
The
second bedroom shows a queen sized bed, 6 ft. wide closet, three glass panels
with views of the patio, and easy access to the second bathroom with walk-in
shower.
