SECOND CHANCE PLANS
The following collection of homes, for one reason or another, have been left to "wither on the vine,"
so to speak; unfinished on the drafting board. Some are simply ideas I've been toying with - perhaps a
middle-of-the-night inspiration for example. Others are actual projects that were terminated
midstream, or redirected onwards to something new. Whatever the reason, the following selections
represent some of my favorite unfulfilled plans in which I'd be pleased to live myself.
These plans are of a preliminary nature, that is, they were created as design proposals for the purpose
of presenting a conceptual idea. To become buildable custom plans, further work would be
neccessary. You will be viewing copyright study plans of the floorplans and an elevation or two.
As you begin the quest for your perfect home plan, consider some of the ideas presented here. Each
home speaks differently to its observer. I try to capture elements, shapes, styles and proportions that
appeal to me personally. I enjoy a home that looks pleasant on all four sides, not just the front facade,
and I imagine myself taking an evening stroll "around the grounds," enjoying the building from all
angles. You may wish to do the same.
MORE TO COME. (STILL CONVERTING DRAWINGS TO PDF)
