First attempt,,,,, Deck House.

The folks at www.deckhouse.com were fantastic. We met with our local sales rep, Hans Othner. They took our old house design, and modernized it, added special touches and gave us this

The First Floor















The Second Floor















The Front Elevation















The Back Elevation

















After working through lots of issues and getting many many hours of drafting from them, a friend in California created a 3D model of our plans. Right away, I knew it was not going to work. Basically we had asked and recieved a house we did not like.

The problem was two fold, one that the house was designed very much like a series of peaks, and our land was mostly flat, so it would have not looked right. We also dont have tall trees in the front which made it look out of place, and then it was oriented to take as much advantage of the sun exposure, but had no design to take advantage of that.

The second problem was that it was much bigger with lots of rooms we never used, like formal living and dining, 7 bathrooms etc....

So we launched into the search for help.... and we also put up our house for sale so we can move on both fronts...
