And now for something completely different…
This is an “interior courtyard home” that maximizes entertaining space that is enclosed, but not heated, per se. The “parents suite” is set up to give the “parents” (or guests) private access from the front entry gate. Each of the three suites is oversized with private baths containing large shower/bath spaces and long vanities. The “Theater/Flex Space” would be a great gym or could serve as additional guest space.
Guests who aren’t staying the night will pass through the enclosed courtyard area and are welcomed to the large living, dining, and kitchen space. More space for entertaining can be captured at the rear of the home in the form of patios or decks. Maybe this is where the pool would go?
If you want one of those “fancy tater” designs you see in architectural magazines, this house plan gives a lot of opportunity to have that very thing. (PS Flat sites would be necessary to make this design work well.)
