Remodel process (part 3)

Once we started looking at the “garage on the right” orientation we realized the lot contours might also favor a (basement) walk-out condition on the left. The more we thought about our lives the more we liked the possibility of  a separate downstairs living situation. We took the simple “L” shaped layout and refined it further. Once we had a layout that looked like it might work we “reversed" it to make the “L” shaped house with the garage on the right.

Mike Kloti took these basic concepts and started working in earnest on a plan for our new home. This approach worked very well. Mike and I were able to communicate back and forth using e-mail messages and these simple sketches. Mike is incredibly responsive, listened to our desires patiently, and made sure that the details did not get in the way as we “day-dreamed” about our new home. I cannot imagine a better working process!
