Eclectic Home Design

Two story plan becomes three by turning an ordinary roof into a rooftop patio; the perfect spot for a greenhouse

Greenhouse shows opening in the nook of the stairs, open to the second and first level below, creating an option for a future elevator if the need arises, but it also offers an escape route for heat during the hot summer months via an exhaust fan located at the top floor. Combine with passive cooling system, and you may never use the air conditioning again

Great room shows an oversized couch facing fireplace and built in entertainment center

Choose to build it as a one bedroom with the option to add another two bedrooms down the road, or build it as a three bedroom

A few select walls are angled to break the monotony, however, there’s never a dull moment in this little gem. Guests will enter the home beneath a dropped ceiling, designed for showcasing treasures or plants, and be delighted by the view of the loft over the kitchen. Speaking of, this kitchen takes you by surprise with an angled corner bar, raised 12″ to keep the mess from view. As upper cabinets turn a corner, they drop to the floor creating loads of extra space. Corner kitchen window replaces sill with serving bar for outdoor entertaining

Exotic dining room opens to round deck which wraps the corner, connecting it to a larger deck
