2. This was one of my first houses done on
AutoCAD. I believe a lot of it also included my
first planning of proper door and window
placements. The second floor shown, I plan to
redesign at a later date to create more open
space over the great room.

4. The 1st Floor of this house starts in the grand foyer with a split staircase
leading up to the second floor. Through the archways on either side of the
stairs, you enter into the great room. To the left of the great room is a room
dedicated to music. Also shown are the library, a large office, and the master
bedroom complete with a personal sauna in the Master Bath. On the right of
the great room is the large dining room, kitchen, a utility room and the three
car garage complete with a built in work area.
5. The most exciting feature of this house to me, is the split staircase in the foyer of
the house. I actually built the house around the staircase. The great room
behind the staircase will also be rather impressive once completed as its ceiling
height will extend to the second floor.
6. This was the original plan for the upper floor. I haven't put a lot of detail
beyond what you see here yet but I am thinking about coming back to this
house and redesigning the upstairs to make the entire great room open. The
hard part in this design is figuring out how the rooms will merge with the roof
lines as not all of the first floor will have a second floor above it.

9. Here was my start to designing the roof line with the current plan. It probably
wouldn't work because I think I have creases that would leak into the house.
10. This is simply the overview of the current design of the house.
