Another Home Plan

Floor Plans!

Here are a few photos of the second floor plan I ever toyed with. I understand I'm not the best at drawing perfect lines to scale, but it should be close.

I don't have a fancy name for this one (like I did with Birkenstock) I just call it "Home Two." The design is pretty simple and straightforward with a loft above the two bedrooms. I'm all about lofts.


Here's the Floorplan. Essentially a big room, divided in half with the two bedrooms and one bathroom on one side. It leaves the bedrooms private but still allows the "openness" that I love in houses.

The long "log" going across just to the left of the wood stove going "down" or towards the front is supposed to signify one of the floor rafter/joists for the loft area, I think. I've got another picture for the loft floor pattern but it looks really stupid. (In fact, I will post it next, just for fun.)







Here's the Horrible loft picture. I'm just not sure what I was thinking with the little crossbars. maybe for extra fat people, I don't know. I was thinking a nice little spiral staircase leading up to it... I'm all about those too. they take up a small amount of space and are still functional.












Side view from the bedroom side. notice the purlins extend out in the front so the roof can cover the porch area. The forward pitch of the front and back of the roof is supposed to keep moisture from hitting the ends of the logs all the time...they don't like to be soaking wet all the time...that's how mold grows on log homes, among other bad things. The extended roof area is for the "middle" of the upper loft area. the window below is the bathroom.

I left out the picture of the rear of the house, which shows the right justified rear entry which you can see in the floor plan, and also the window for the rear bedroom, which you can also see on that floorplan.
