If a picture is worth a thousand words, follow the images to see the progression of the design concept. Every line seemed to lead to a new idea. Eventually the idea of going straight up over the entire house changed to only going up and affecting the basement where it was unfinished. Instead of staying within the footprint of the existing structure we pushed things out towards the back of the yard. The garage / carport was removed and a new garage designed.
By Pushing out the back of the house there was an opportunity to create a bigger more functional kitchen. The garage area was reduced but this also allowed for a back entrance / mud room.
The Exterior started changing. No matter what was done the house was going to stand out in the neighborhood so heights and angles and elevations needed to be addressed.
Taking in account the sun rise and setting changes over the course of a year the idea of using the solar power in a positive way to impact our energy comsumption began to formulate.
Finally the new footprint of the house has begun to take shape.
