Long House

Long House — 2nd house template from the Lee-Shih House Anywhere collection, this floor plan is for steep sites where it would be more economical to build long wise to minimize building on the steep slope.

This particular site's southern exposure challenge is the instigator for this staggered roof design. The staggering roof line enables south facing sunlight to be able to peek in at the top of each room.

This leads to a 2-story tall roof height at the LDK great room which will enable aerial silks to be hung at a sufficient height for practice.

2 bath, 1 master, 1 office, and a long hallway for storage, bench work, crafting, ...

A more economical, traditional, alternative roof design. Roof design may also provide extra drainage barrier.

Alternative floor plan design. We could cap the end of the house with the office staggered into the hill, thereby giving more space, letting more light in the south east corner of the master bedroom. However that would cap the house and prevent additions to the house.

C House

 

C house — the 3rd house plan for the Lee-Shih House Anywhere collection, appropriate for a generic size-able flat piece of land. This house was inspired by this particular site in mind where it's south facing, the width is size-able and very long. There's a trail at the north end of the site.

The C layout is inspired by the beautiful light courtyard spaces can bring into the home. And perhaps we could raise chickens in the courtyard!

This 1 floor home design is also optimized for wheelchair/mobility challenged and aging in place living.

Courtyard section.

Great space to raise chickens?!

2 bath, 1 bedroom, 1 office, 1 workspace

If the family needs more space to grow into, there's space for a stairwell and rooms above the dining/living and master bedroom.

Though for now, that 2 story space (a la round carpet) would be perfect for aerial silks!
