I've been collecting images of houses like this from all over the world for the past year and feeling that it would be a very appropriate design theme for our growing re-modern movement in the US. This was the first effort to apply it here and I hope to have more plans in this theme in the future.lavarderahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07241073948874188058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38363189.post-23914232640273467122009-08-16T23:24:49.116-04:002009-08-16T23:24:49.116-04:00Greg, I'm curious what your inspiration for th...Greg, I'm curious what your inspiration for this plan was.

However customers always need to check roof/snow loads, foundation designs, seismic and wind requirements for their locale, as with any stock plan.lavarderahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07241073948874188058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38363189.post-77859196006995443352009-08-16T14:47:26.309-04:002009-08-16T14:47:26.309-04:00That is a good consideration.

These are bedrooms so the window that opens has to be sized to allow for code required dimensions for egress.lavarderahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07241073948874188058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38363189.post-79592327036525061052009-08-16T09:52:35.835-04:002009-08-16T09:52:35.835-04:00I really like how you offset the center beams for ...I really like how you offset the center beams for the windows on the top floor.
