I have spent hourse searching google to find out what is the architectural term name used in separating the living space (kitchen-dining,etc) from the sleeping space (bedrooms) into two separate buildings with a common hallway between both?
I am at a very early stage of designing my house and I would like to work on this idea.
God dam it, it’s a Hyphen, look it up! In architecture, a hyphen is a connecting link between two larger building elements. It is typically found in Palladian architecture, where the hyphens form connections between a large corps de logis and terminating pavilions.
Mikey_G, All you did was ask for a term name and just look at this circus. Please go to the administrators and ask that your thread be taken down before it gets much worse, then take your house to a builder and stay away from licensed architects. Making fun of anyone’s dreams, ideas or questions is unprofessional and an embarrassment to the profession.
If you have a basic layout with a breezeway... you can say dogtrot-like or dogtrot-inspired plan type especially if it isn't a historical dogtrot vernacular form. Just don't call it exactly a dogtrot unless you are saying something like:
"This is my interpretation of a dogtrot plan form". I wouldn't call a house design a Queen Ann style unless I am being very accurate to the Queen Ann design guidelines, elements, proportion and so forth that is authentic to the design principles and not applying out of stylistic period.
If it is a new modern design using historic plan and form as inspiration... it is entirely okay to refer to your inspirations.

The question I have to ask is there needs to be this 'breezeway' space (even if it closable with a glass and sliding door system on both ends to maintain the visual breezeway line). It needs that. A "dogtrot"-inspired plan form can very well have hyphens but to define a form as "dogtrot"-inspired.... it must possess key character defining features such as the breezeway.
Some more dogtrot-inspired designs:
Google for:
dogtrot
and look at the images.
Note: The breezeway doesn't always have to be dead-centered symmetrically. However, usable spaces needs to be on both sides of the breezeway.
I would be okay with with the dogtrot reference. This is definitey inspired on the dogtrot form even through it isn't "historically accurate" to the original vernacular. It would be a modern day interpretation especially in a community where dogtrots are common form or it can fit into other areas in an acceptable way to the community. I can see this form be applied even in my community area outside key historic district areas... obviously. There is all these opportunities to explore ideas in new ways using precepts that can be closed up or opened up depending on the people.
It is a style form that I find interesting and an architect friend of mind actually applied such a form to the Pier 1 building in Astoria.
Arguable color choices and perhaps some design choices.... okay. I might have approached it a little bit differently with my approach to things but then again I wasn't the architect.
Term Name Required for further research...

A dogtrot is a vernacular type with that arrangement.
Thank you I have had a look at dogtrot, my idea is that:
Each building will be perpendicular to each other to maximize solar gain & both will be a lean too roof.
I have already done a site visit to an existing house built 15 years ago please see attached.
The dogtrot term might not be the term on this type?

If you are so focused on the fashion name of your dream home, perhaps it is time you look into hiring a professional.
God dam it, it’s a Hyphen, look it up! In architecture, a hyphen is a connecting link between two larger building elements. It is typically found in Palladian architecture, where the hyphens form connections between a large corps de logis and terminating pavilions.
perhaps it hyphenated?

where's my $250?
This thread is giving me the trots.
Did I mention I'm a also a doctor?

Just for clarity:
Classic dogtrot:

I would have a tough time with the word "dogtrot" associated to its design form.

Yes, it isn't a historic dogtrot form but has this form inspiration applied to it with the breezeway.

There are a lot of things that are more embarrassing to this profession than this thread.
That's true... however what I saw from Mikey_G does not appear to consist of a dogtrot plan.
I don't get the feel of a dogtrot stylistic feel. It just doesn't fit the feel.
Miles Jaffe, it is definitely not the brightest thread in the world.
