Floor Plans

The enclosed stairway on the main floor connects to the second level, which features an open kitchenette, dining and living room. There is an island in the kitchen for keeping the utensils. The flush bar top can be great during parties. A pantry and a utility area are planned out for convenience. 

The gathering area leads to the open deck. A pretty place to keep plants and decorate them as per their needs. Relaxing chairs, hammocks, ping pong tables can make the space more energetic and exciting. It can also help in extending the living area during gathering events. 

There are two bedrooms designed in this floor plan. They share a jack and jill bathroom with their own dressing area and closet space. The bathroom saves space without disturbing privacy. 1st bedroom has access to the deck area.

Finally, large windows are sufficient to allow light to enter and maintain a healthy atmosphere. This straightforward and well-organized plan is suitable for a small household. It’s difficult to dismiss or overlook the garage’s multipurpose versatility. We recommend that you consider this choice with your family and make the final decision.

Note: this home may be constructed using metal framing; however, you should always consult your local architect-engineer and receive a professional evaluation if such an option is feasible for this plan and your local building codes.
