First Drawings!!

We've got our first look at what our house might look like from our Architect!  They did a great job at taking the design ideas we gave them & turning them into a great design.  We are liking very much what we see :)

50's Eichler-esque gabled roof design with floor-to-ceiling glass in the main living area with exposed roof beams & deep overhangs that create nice covered patio areas for shade from the hot Texas sun. 

And, of course, the A-Frame Tiki Bar!

(if you click on the pictures, they should come up bigger on your screen, too)

& here's the Bird's Eye View look........




& the room layout - this is where we start to get into the details & need to think about room sizes and adjacencies.

You'll see a Conversation Pit in the Living Room, an in-wall bar in Rob's room, an outdoor shower and, of course, the Tiki Bar.  Since this will the first time we've lived without a basement, we've included a dedicated storage room in the floor plan.

Note, too, that the cats have their own closet =^..^=

It's looking like we're on our way!!!
