The future house sits on a beautiful 3.5 acre land in the midwest of the United States. The house should incorporate energy efficient design approaches; and total area of the two floors should be around 3500sf. All floors must have the same footprint due to being an ICF construction, and a Southern style building typology with lots of outside living areas is preferred. Formal entertaining areas should be separated from everyday living areas of the house, and consideration of Feng Shui elements have to be considered.
II. PROGRAM: Main Floor Rooms: 1. Formal Living Room (large enough for entertaining and with plenty of outside view of the property) 2. Formal Dining Room 3. Piano Alcove (place needed for a baby grand piano out of the traffic areas of the house, or if it can’t be done separately just a spot for it in the formal living room to be out of traffic area.) 4.

Stairs and hallways: 1. Stairs maximum run & minimum rise and wide 2. Hallways to be wide 3. A small “tower” on 3rd floor for reading area (no spiral staircase) or a small reading area on the second floor depending on the floorplan
Garage: 1. 3 car garage 2. Must be in the rear of the house with side entry, NOT to the front of the house 3. Second floor of garage for future apartment with bathroom, kitchenette, small laundry area 4. Must be located on the west side of the property/house

In the foyer: 1. Staircase should not be directly facing the main door.
Subdivision covenance restrictions: 1. Two story home should be minimum 1600sf on the first floor 2. Must have masonry outside first floor wrap
IV. GOALS 1. Due to being an ICF home all floors must have the same footprint. 2. Formal areas for enteraiting such as formal living and dining rooms must be completely separate from “everyday living” area of the house. We do not like open concept, such as kitchen being open to a formal living room. However it is ok to have the hearth room open to the kitchen. 3. We like southern style homes with front porches and plenty of outside living areas. 4. We DON’T like any modern or craftsman style homes 5. We want to stay within 3,500sf first and second floor combined
