A
guide to interesting homes and commercial buildings. |
This style is based around an "L" shaped floor plan. On the far right
side of this picture (which you cannot see) is a staircase leading to a door.
Once you open the door you enter an open deck and to your left two sides of
the house wrap around the two edges of the deck. A sliding glass door opens
to the kitchen on one side and on the other side, a traditional door opens to
a small hall that leads to the dining/living area. There is a half bath next
to the kitchen. Upstairs are four bedrooms and two full baths. Two bedrooms
face the street and each has a sliding glass door leading to the balcony you
see on the second floor. The other two bedrooms face out over the deck. Aside
from the deck, these homes have little useable backyard due to the hill that
slopes up behind them. These houses get tons of light! The view these houses
get is a slice of Glen Canyon and maybe the tops of the San Bruno range from
the top floor, though from the bottom all they see are the houses across the
street.
