These floor plans could easily serve as blueprints of how to build affordable and sustainable housing in the USA! Then build them with great wall insulation and Energy Star appliances. Even using induction cook tops, heat pumps and ductless hvac, metal roofing, and solar. Could also end up being a better alternative to Tiny Houses, too! Then add an accessory garage
ReplyDeleteNO vaulted ceilings. NO "barn door" doors, but pocket doors can work. Change the exterior style and maybe some Art Deco or Modernistic vibes as desired.
Thanks for posting these every so often, Rick!
Cdadbr - You are very welcome.
DeleteDamn...this architect (obviously all from a single hand) was on some GOOD drugs back in the day. Despite all the rooms in these plans are tiny (how exactly do you fit a bed into a "bedroom" that's 7'-9" x 12'-0" with the layout of the doors/window? And 8229 forces you to walk through a bedroom to get from the living room to the kitchen, not to mention the facades on the others. As a former architect I shake my head.
ReplyDeleteGranted, I had an apartment in San Francisco that did the same thing with the kitchen/bedroom/living room until I swapped the living room for the bedroom (the rooms weren't exactly well-defined), but damn girl, this is a HOUSE. I guess they didn't want to label that second bedroom as "Dining" and thereby reduce the plan to a one-bedroom unit.
Mark - I could cram a twin bed and a chest of drawers in that 7.9x12.0.
DeleteBuilding two-bedroom houses back when people were having more than two kids was not good planning.
ReplyDeleteThese plans are wild.
ReplyDeleteGreat comments.
8231---I am not having my bedroom downstairs and having to truck upstairs to pee and get pretty. And what about guests getting lost upstirs when using the bathroom and going through my stuff. I will have to hire staff to provide a personal escort. And that downstairs closet in the bedroom looks like a coat closet. I suppose powder rooms haven't taken off yet.
Voenix Rising hit the nail on the head. House 8229 not only forces you to walk through a bedroom to get to the kitchen, but in an era where every house had to have a dining room bigger than the kitchen, 8229 has no dining room at all, and the kitchen is too small for a dining table. So where are they going to eat? The back half of the living room is completely open to the living room, so it would have no privacy as a bedroom. Obviously, it's not a bedroom; it's really the dining room, and as Voenix Rising said, it was only labeled "bedroom" so 8229 wouldn't be called a one-bedroom plan.
