100% of space used

The building we chose offers variety, location and most of all flexibility. Here is the layout that Brant designed (nice work partner).

The design works well with the goal of attaining maximum usage of 100% of the space. The units are long and narrow, but offer more functionality than 3 story town homes (how many times are you going to get the garage [read bottom floor] and realize you left your keys/wallet/sunglasses on your beside table...3 stories up). With this design, you enter from the street side with approximately 30 feet of open space to be used as living/dining/front office. Then your open kitchen maintains the flow of the space, with all "utilitarian" items (sink, dishwasher, refrigerator) along the side wall, allowing complete open views. The only blocked view comes from the partition for the restroom (obviously for privacy) on the back wall of the kitchen. Walking through the corridor leading to the back space, you open to either a bedroom/back office/garage space. The design works for anyone interested in the area: resident looking for functional living space, small office unit with front and private office space, medical office with waiting and exam room...the possibilities are endless...sort of.
