The Project
Jenny's background as an Interior designer called for some real creativity within the design and method of building her home. She wanted a home with as much natural light as possible. After spending some time with Jenny and reviewing her ideas it became clear that the best solution to accomplish her goals was to design an "hour-glass" shaped floor plan and build it with a Panelized kit. This shape allowed us to have two exterior walls in every room addressing the air flow and natural light.
This was a challenge since it's not a "One room" house and her lot is a small 50' x 125' in-fill lot with homes on both sides and the rear. Her ideal design also required radiant floor heat which was a feature in a previous home she owned. The floor elevation needed to address this without looking like it did not fit in with the older homes surrounding it that currently sit below the flood line.
