Remodel process (part 4)

We quickly realized that the stairwell in a two story house drives the design. Mike provided us with three stairway options each with unique advantages. We spent considerable time considering each of the three layouts. We chose the “stairway to the back” (the middle sketch below) but as you will see later we incorporated ideas from each of these options in our final plans.

This provides a great example of how this process worked;

  • We started with some vague concepts…
  • Talked through our needs and desires…
  • Moved to “scaled sketches”…
  • Then finally inflicted the disciplines of CAD as Mike took control of the design…
