The picture above is a computer generated view of the front facade. It might be somewhat distorted on your screen, but you'll get the idea. This represents months of deciding how the front should look, what we could afford and what we could get approval to do. So don't even think about suggesting changes (unless you pay for them). The landscaping is just representational and will probably be much more extensive in the front and the back. The black pathway to the fence will also be something different.
For now we are just going to enjoy our computer cartoon house and dream about what it will be like to live inside of it. Below is an image of the back of the house. For security reasons we aren't comfortable with showing interior layout views, but hopefully you will all have a chance to see inside, in person, when it's finished.
In the back view you can see the cartoon drawing of the stucco garden walls that will be behind the front fence. We have someone helping us design these walls who already has had some brilliant suggestions. On the second floor is a 4-season room with screens and storm windows. And the best part is the conservatory off of the first floor. Sometimes when we're feeling a bit Victorian, we'll call this structure the orangery. This view of the conservatory is actually not right since we are going to build it out of brick and have big windows, much like the Linnean House at the Missouri Botanical Garden which it is modeled after. As a plant nerd all I need is a bed, an icemaker and some books and I would easily be able to live just in the conservatory.
Thanks again for keeping up with our project,
Mark and Mark
