You may have read the May entry on the Floor plan Evolution topic. Well, this was a major stage in our own design. At that point, the architect we chose was involved already and there were many ideas going back and forth in early summer. Circular staircases, straight ones, around the corner stairs. Then different bathroom and walk-in closet designs, sauna locations an more. The only thing that seemed stable was the basic arrangement between kitchen, the dining room (corner bench on the southwest corner) and the living room (taking in the westerly views). Come to think of it, we have found this arrangement a while ago and stuck with it over the months. One example floor plan that inspired us was this:
Another milestone was reached in early August of 2013, after we had a meeting with architect and builder on our porch in Williston. The below floor plan is the architect's implementation of all the ideas and discussion so far.
In hindsight, this version proved to be very stable. I am actually writing this blog in January 2014 and we still use this exact floor plan. There will likely be more changes by the time we build, but overall, this is what our future home will look like!
