(This level confused me to no end until I finally realized that the L-shaped stairway next to the garage has the directional arrow at the wrong end of the line.)
I'm still scratching my head on the first plan. I see a son's room and a mother's room on the second floor and a boy's room(???) on the first floor but no master bedroom anywhere. Did the owner have a Mommy fixation and did he keep a boy for his son or for himself? Inquiring minds want to know!
ReplyDeleteMilleson - Also, there's no dining room.
ReplyDeleteRick, in the first plan, the house cascades down a hillside from the street. The garage is at the top of the house, so the arrow on the L-shaped stairway is correct; the rest of the house is below the garage level.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the missing master bedroom: strangely, the dressing room on the lower level does not appear to be near any bedroom. Then it dawned on me that the dotted-line rectangles in Mother's Room, Son's Room and Boy's Room are beds, so there's a bed in Owner's Screened Porch. I think Owner's Screened Porch is the master bedroom, connecting to a bathroom and dressing room.
I, too, noticed there is no dining room, unlike most houses of this era, only a breakfast nook in the kitchen. Maybe they usually ate on the deck, if this house is in a location where it's almost always nice outside (which having a screened porch as the master bedroom also suggests). My house in Hawaii has no dining room per se, but my lanai (porch) serves as a dining room.
Clearly an architect-designed plan for some very specific (and odd) client requirements.

Larry - After your explanation, I can see it now. Thanks.
