This
close-up of the living room shows the disguised closet doors - look like shelving
units not doors - same in rec room upstairs. Cyclindrical tube above stove
is part of exhaust venting system.
1st
floor: 2529 sq.ft. plus 604 sq.ft. for garage. The squareness of the house
makes for simple construction - concrete slab floor with flat truss roof.
To soften this angularity the entrance hall doors are 8ft. high arched doors.
Ceilings are 9ft. More 8ft. arches cover the 5ft. wide passages from living
and dining rooms to bed and utility rooms, and another 6ft. wide arch creates
an alcove for the air tight wood heater. Yet another arch leads from the main
bedroom into the walk-in closet. The open living plan boasts 41ft. from living
to dining room windows, with the living room being 27ft. wide. Minimalist
living is accommodated through ample storage closets. Check enlarged floor
plan for traffic flow.
Scott
House
was designed to take advantage of views to the south, with
large wall to wall windows in the living room and 2nd floor recreation room
opening onto outside patio and roof deck. Tiled floors inside flow onto the
patio and roof deck with only the bottom window mullions screwed and waterproofed
to the floor tiles making the rooms expand into the outside space. Heating
is provided by in-floor hot water pipes with additional air tight wood heater
located next to a wood storage closet which has loading access from outside.
All 2ft. square windows are set 6ft. off the floor for privacy. The large
windows were designed to be covered with either interior or exterior roll-down
blinds. Explore the drawings and don't be shy to email Plum and ask questions
for clarification.
House
= 3293 sq.ft.
Garage
= 604 sq.ft.
2nd
floor: 764 sq.ft. This room is approximately 24 ft. square - large enough
for doubles table tennis matches. The storage closets are concealed behind
doors disguised as shelving units - see close-up drawings below for similar
doors in the living room. The toilet at the top of the stairs has neat 'sentry'
type windows. Access to both front and back decks makes this a perfect summer
party space.
