One of these plans I returned to recently, after a long bout sewing... Plan 25-4524.
I wanted to see if I could make it look less contemporary, hopefully not too traditional, maybe with a few unique qualities... although I don't think that I quite achieved my goal... Anyways, I'm not thrilled with it in this state, I might figure out someway to get it better, but here it is:
HP 4524-A2a
I actually started from scratch, to make sure that I kept the house at the 30-foot by 30-foot size as the original plan, but made several personal adjustments. And, I also flipped it, so what had been the front of house is now the back, and vice versa.
The front of the house, both Aerial and Virtual views. I don't think I added much personality to it, and I'm not at all fond of the porch cover.
The back of the house, both Aerial and Virtual views. I don't know why any of the windows rendered reflective like that as that was certainly not my intention. The large paved area is supposed to be a patio; I just haven't worked on it much more than putting that base down.
The entrance, both from outside and inside the front door. I kept the coat closet and extra storage on the one side but moved the water heater in with the washer and dryer; you'll see that shortly. The door visible on the left is to the bedroom. The two doors on the right are to the bathroom and the laundry/utility rooms. I do have a retractable ladder up to an attic space in the small hallway, but I made it invisible in this picture as well as the ones below.
The Great Room from four different angles. As you can see I've kept it relatively similar as before but I removed the room-dividing bookcase, put the "living room" part roughly in the middle, and condensed the sewing part a little. I've kept the vaulted ceiling, but now it spans the entirety of the Great Room rather than just the sewing area. I think that I might change the bar chairs so that they are more comfortable, especially for if/when there are guests over. Maybe even add a couple of armchairs near the windows?
The bedroom. Roughly it's the same, but minor adjustments. I believe that I put in a large full length mirror on the wall opposite the double windows; not visible in this picture and I think barely noticeable on the floor plan screenshot below.
The Laundry/Utility Room. As you can see, I separated the laundry space from the bathroom, and included the water heater, HVAC unit and electrical panel into this room.
And finally the bathroom. I think it looks a lot less cramped than it did before, when the washer and dryer were in there.
Floor plan screenshots, both levels. The retractable ladder is now visible here, although the roof beams and roofing aren't (except for the roofing over the porch).
