Roy's
House was designed for a mountain top lot with lake views to the north, and
street access from the south. The wrap-around deck is on the south, east and
north sides of the house, with the roof top deck on the garage on the west.
The roof top deck is secure (no ground access) for sleeping out under the
stars. The breakfast nook off the kitchen is placed on the south east corner
to catch the morning sun.

Notice
large window on stair landing facing lake view.
The semi circular protrusion houses the fire place and chimney.
1st
floor open
Beams
demarcate the living and dining areas from the kitchen and nook. The kitchen
counter on the nook side is an eating bar.
Window
sills are 10" wide and 2 ft. off the floor. Window panels are 5 ft. high
by 3 ft. wide.
The
half-wall between the posts obscures the counter working surface from the
living room. There's a 1 ft. wide shelf on top of the half wall. Notice the
telephone desk and shelves backing onto the fridge location.
The
deck door is the natural extension of the traffic flow from the entrance hall
past the kitchen and nook - there are no exterior doors in the living or dining
areas hence no necessity to walk through either room for deck access.
2nd
floor open.
The
two 10 ft. square towers are over the
2nd and 3rd bedrooms with 10 ft. ceilings in each.
Notice
the placement of the three skylights.

this design 'grabs' you, talk to Plum about it.
