1200 sqft apartment

Hello I have a floor plan for a house for my client in Texas. that i need some concepts drawn up for the exterior elevations and roof design in dwg format. I am open to Ideas that any architects have to add to the design. Traditional / colonial design would be great, a few guide lines: 11ft to 18ft plus Ceiling height. Single story house on a corner lot. Entry foyer facing corner with circular driveway. concrete slab Wood framing construction mix of stone and stucco Please do not hesitate to ask any questions. thanks

We are currently in the process of finalizing the design for a modern villa in the DACH (Germany/Austria/Switzerland) region. We are super happy with the front of the villa. We love the design there. However, we are not happy with the backside facade of the villa. The design misses a clear structure. There is some design element here and there. Windows are a bit randomly positioned from an outside perspective (from the inside it makes sense). So far there is no real light concept for the backside. The idea of the contest is to find our dream design for the backside of our villa. Let me provide some details. There is more in the presentation As can be seen from the floor plan we are planning the stairs with two skybridges (which means there is some space between floor and window) at the right side of the left part of the building. The idea was to have one big window that covers at least two floors. Currently the third floor which is the „Cube“ on the roof is slighthly moved back. We have also planned a small water area in front of the left part of the house so that there is a mini bridge leading to the entrance door (similar to the design of another villa we included in the presentation). There is a stairs going down to the basement where we have on the left a guest room and on the right the living/bed room of the nanny’s flat. Above that is the window to an office with library. The closed space left of it is a wall in the living room which could potentially also become a window. Above that the three windows are kids room / bathroom windows At the top in the cube the three windows are in the bathroom Now so far we have refrained from adding more windows since on the first floor we have on the left the walk-in dressing room where windows are not needed .Then at the top in the cube to the right there is far right the sauna and next to it we need the wall for some fitness device installations inside. Having said that there is always an option to have kind of fake windows where behind them there is a wall. The outcome of the competition should be some illustrations with ideas for the backside of the house also showing or highlighting some materials to be used. In addition some idea with regards to the construction leading to the basement would be welcome. How would that look best in terms of stairs, green area etc. Since we need to finalize the renderings soon, there is only a week time before ending the competition. All details an be found in the presentation including all floor plans. Please feel free to be creative. However the shape oft he building is a given.

A concept design for a single-family home addition project consisting of four project elements: 1) Back door & Deck – Addition of a rear door to the back yard (right side if facing the house) and a deck. Door can be a maximum of 7ft 8in tall and 8ft wide. Deck can be a maximum of 22ft wide and 12ft 6in deep. Looking for a rear kid-friendly and kid-durable entertaining space concept that helps to bring the outdoors in, while promoting energy conservation. Include appropriate lighting and outdoor electrical power sources. Additional regarding of the back yard to create flat space, as able, without sacrificing existing trees. 2) Right-side Addition – Addition of a three-level addition to the right (North) side of the house (when facing house from the street). Looking for a concept that blends seamlessly into the size and style of the main structure. Addition is a maximum of 16ft wide and 32ft long, beginning at the back of the house and extending a maximum of 8ft in front of the main house structure. House sits on a sloping grade – first floor is roughly between 24in (back corner) to 40in (front corner) off ground level. Three level addition includes: a. Basement bedroom – Requires built in closet and at least one egress window. Ceiling height must be at least 8ft (presume recess lighting) b. 1st floor garage – Looking for concept large enough to accommodate an SUV plus storage, with a double door opening to the backyard. Will require steps up to back yard if additional grading is proposed (per item 1). c. 2nd floor master bedroom/bath – Looking for a concept that includes a “medium” sized master bath/en suite, and a closet large enough to serve 2+ adults 3) New Porch – Addition of a large porch extending from the left side of the new garage/addition (item 2 above) along the entire front of the house and wrapping into the new screened in porch (item 4 below). Looking for a concept that blends seamlessly into the size and style of the main structure, while presenting a level of comfort and style as its curb appeal. Porch can extend a maximum of 8ft from the front of the house. 4) Left-side Addition – Excavation of an additional below grade storage/laundry room on the left side of the house (when facing house from the street), and a wide walk out egress stairway from the basement to the back yard. Addition of a screened in porch at grade/first floor level. Below grade room/porch/egress stairs can extend a maximum of 7ft from the side of the house. Below grade room should have both a door into the basement and a separate external entrance to the back yard/egress stairway. First floor screened in porch should have an entrance from the front porch and a separate entrance into the main house. Addition should be capable of safely sustaining the weight of a future second story addition. Appropriate water mitigation measures should be included for all sub-grade components and stairways. Additional pictures and info can be provided upon request.

The attached Sketchup file is a scanned model of a 110+ year-old cottage in the woods on the shore of Lake Michigan. This is a very small house – approximately 984 square feet. A large part of the house is taken by the screened-in front porch that faces the lake. We are limited as to the changes we can make – for example, we cannot change the footprint. We would like to change the roofline, most likely to a “t-gable” roof, given the T-shape or L-shape of the footprint), and replace the kitchen and bath with updated and more useable spaces. We would like two bedrooms and one bath (1.5 if there were any way to do so). A similar cottage nearby has some loft space above a porch that the kids enjoy. Most of these places are open to the rafters, but ideally with bedrooms closed off. We would like to carve out room for a washer/ dryer station (vertical). Also love the idea of a two-sided fireplace in the main room and porch, although this may not be feasible: http://www.supremem.com/duet4seasons.php This is a seasonal place and is not currently insulated. Plumbing generally runs in a crawlspace. Hot water is currently provided by a tankless electric heater. Other cottages in the area have hot water heaters below the units in the crawlspaces. It is not critical that all the current porch space be retained. Please note that the scan is largely accurate.
