Week 19: So I want to address the elephant in the room. There is not a front door on this house. I get calls all the time about this fact. People stop by and ask me as they are driving by. Contractors who have worked here all ask me. Where is the Front Door? There is concern and worry that I forgot this important architectural detail.
I have lived in many homes where the front entry was never used because the location was akward, out of the way or didn’t have proximity to where cars are parking.
The main entry to the this house is on the end by the driveway. The challenges of designing a 1200 square foot home are many. There simply isn’t alot of wall space. So in this case, I decided that using valuable wall space for two different entry points was not practical. The windows are placed high to allow for maximum light, but allow for functional wall space below for furniture, cabinets and privacy. The bedrooms are at the back which is where larger egress windows are located.
The gutters are on. I have to keep reminding myself where I came from.
Our last dance...
