Visiting Architects Draft Schematic Floor Plans


Matteo and Tomoko, two of the three members of the architect team were here last weekend to work on the plans.

We now have a couple of very nice floor plans with some really quite stunning features all over the house.

Some design features to look out for: 2nd floor breakfast/lake view entertainment area; guest quarters with tatami and ensuite facilities; wooden stove with oven and cooking top between kitchen and dinning area; pantry; sunken family/chill-out room; huge storage/crawl space.
