FIRST
FLOOR: 692 sq.ft. (Total 1640 sq.ft.)
The
front door porch is rain protected by the 2nd floor deck above. The entrance
has a 3 ft. coat closet with full length mirror mounted on the closet door.
A privacy door opens into bedroom area. The storage closet holding the hot
water tank is accessible only through the bathroom off bedroom #1 - door swing
misses toilet. Note linen shelves behind bathroom door and 4ft linen closet
between bedrooms #2 and #3. Bedroom #1 has an 8 ft. closet; bedrooms #2 and
#3 have 4 ft. closets. Bedroom closet doors are 8 ft. high bi-pass doors allowing
access to top closet shelf.
Construction
is simple: a 24 ft. square box with overlapping 16 ft. square stairwell tower.
SECOND
FLOOR: 692 sq.ft.
A
ceiling beam divides the dining from the living area. The door opening onto
the deck is a glass paneled door. The entrance to the kitchen is under two
arches which separate the stacked washer and drier and pantry from the kitchen.
There's a 2 ft. high cupboard mounted on the ceiling above the eating bar.
Notice the recessed telephone desk and shelves backing onto the pantry closet.
THIRD
FLOOR: 256 sq.ft.
This
3rd floor provides luxury living space. Occupants can sleep out under the
stars, and kids can pitch tents. The 3 ft. high half wall around the stairwell
allows the space above the stairs to be part of the 16 ft. square sun room.
A recessed door provides access to the 436 sq.ft. roof deck which has a 3.5
ft. solid wall rail around it. Large deck umbrellas will provide shade. Roof
top meals are feasible since the roof deck is only one flight of stairs up
from the kitchen.
The individual colours of the 16 ft square towers have complementary coloured
exterior doors.
Shrubs
will be grown in the 4 ft. wide green strip shown in front of each unit -
to provide some privacy for bedrooms #2 and #3.

CARPORTS

roof at drive - front metal posts 4 ft. back to (hopefully) avoid turning
cars.

Colours
in these drawings are to emphasize features, not what these units would look
like in reality. The 24 ft. square towers could be sheathed using corrugated
galvanized sheet metal, with the 16 ft. stairwell tower sheathed in a coloured
sheet metal. The units can be sheathed in various stucco colours, or siding,
or whatever one's budget or preferences dictate. The drawings are presented
like this to show the shapes and internal spaces so that a viewer can trace
carefully the traffic patterns.
