This was the most successful design debuting in the highly competitive Designers Showcase Of Homes. Builders and buyers have both flocked to the open great room design on the main floor. As the pictures reveal this arrangement gives way to long views through the home, and this along with the graceful coved ceilings give the feeling of much more space that is really here. The main floor master suite has also been a favorite among couples and parents of older children. The kitchen is truly generous as is the dining room.. The basement in this house offers great flexibility. Some of my clients have finished the entire lower floor while others build it just like the plan. Both options are possible with the stock plan. A more beautiful Modern Prairie Downhill House plan will be hard to locate.  If you have a down-sloping lot and want one story with a basement this IS THE PLAN FOR YOU.

Desgined with a view to the front in mind this plan takes advantage of an uphill lot in fine style. The formal living room and dining room are at the front along with the master suite. This arrangement has been a success for dozens of homebuilders and homeowners. The family room, open to the kitchen and the back yard are related nicley to the stairway which leads to the two bedroom and giant bonus room upper floor. A three car garage rounds out this design.

Here is an exciting uphill tri-level home. It has a deck off the living room and the master suite and a patio off the family room. So this means plenty of porch space.

M-2281 I designed this home with a wide range of users in mind. The Large master suite on the main floor is popular with most everyone. The very generous great room is open to the rear yard and includes an eating area, and an island kitchen. Coupled with the formal living room and dining room all of these spaces together will assure you all the spaciousness, traffic flow and elegance you look for in a new home. Upstairs are three very very large bedrooms, perfect for children, guests, hobbies, or even a home theater in bedroom #4. Best of all is the beautifully designed craftsman exterior. The look is elegant, timeless and efficient. This home is only 41 feet deep, insuring you and your family a large rear yard.

The look of this home is decidedly french contemporary in nature with a stucco exterior, and arced french windows. This is a big package in under 2250 square feet……

I was inspired by my oldest son to design this home (in fact he did most of the preliminary work). The sophisticated rotunda leads to one of the most efficient smaller homes I have ever designed. If you have a family of 4 or 5, this is the perfect house for you. It has a spacious 3 car garage with the utility room just inside the door as well as a private powder room. The bonus room is large and there are separate living and dining rooms.
