Our architect designed this modern house for us and we think we like it. But I think it would be better with some big round windows and a roof deck. What do you guys think?

God the flat screen above the fireplace is HORRID. One of my worst residential design pet peeves. Fuck off.

Where is the pool? Also, no chimney means no fireplace I guess?

Donna, that's not a fireplace, it's an oven under both wall mounted TVs. Come on now, I thought you were hip.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this the Revit sample file house?
Well done on the post, Miles.

Donna and Non, that's two flat screens stacked. The bottom one plays fireplace DVDs. That's why there's no chimney.
And you guys call yourselves architects? What was I thinking?

Maybe those are aquariums, not fireplaces? Still horrid.

Contemporary American suburbia at it's finest!
"I'll have a double-stack, double-wide slathered with your finest lick-and-stick cultured stone, a siding of fiber-cement cheese, and put a muffin top on it."
This would be best served between some deep fried southern colonial revivals on either side or perhaps some rendition evoking a 'south of the border' double stuffed stucco wrap to finish your neighborhood palette.
The render is also missing a Escalade with 20's doing a Duke's of Hazard homage flying out of that garage!

What's that site, like 30' x 200', with a rise at the back end? Where is there a surplus of lots like this that would warrant a series of stock plans?

mightyaa, you're a genius. Colonial columns on the front would really spruce it up.
Is there someone in the forum that is very respected in this style of home design? What's the going rate for looking at the existing plans and offering a rough concept that would take us down a more attractive path. We would be looking at very rough ideas only to use with our current architect. We like telling him what to do.

I like it a lot but have a couple serious concerns.
my lambo may not have ground clearance for the ramp, please verify that this will not be an issue.
Are the plans for this house free? I can't afford to pay any more than that. I also need these drawings printed and delivered for permits to my city tomorrow. Don't worry, I'll pay you for that
Donna Sink
May 24, 17 5:39 pm
But you'll only pay AFTER the permit is achieved, yes?

Miles, One small change...can you revise the house a litttleso that it can de lodge from the ground and become a yacht when we feel like going out into the bay? Will there be an extra charge for that small change?

For the record... fireplaces don't need chimneys anymore... that being said... I'd be concerned that the fire place channel playing on the bottom screen may cause excess heat and damage the screen above it..

can it be built for $50/sf?

That's what the architect said. We're paying him $.07 / sq.ft.

How much would you charge? Please consider that we've already paid him part of the fee.
