Refining Plan SD3 - Making it ours

Every meeting with Giraffe got progressively more fun as the design really came together.  Steven nailed all our requested changes and Martin kept telling us we were still on budget.  So far, so good!

We had a couple important changes to make to our selected plan:

• How about a few more sq ft.  Some areas/rooms seem a little tight.
• Swap the laundry and bathroom, adjust master closet setup
• Where would a loft go, and where would the stairs be?  The answer seemed to be that the loft would be over the bedrooms, and Katy had the brilliant idea that the stairs could go between both 1st floor bedrooms.  Huzzah!

Rendered in all 3 dimensions!  Now we're doin' stuff.

It was really neat to see some interior views, too.

Side profile gives a sense of scale.

At the next meeting, we moved up to real architectural drawings, printed on big paper! whoo!

Only a couple minor things would change on the main floor after this point

The second floor plan was coming together, including extra height for the master bathroom (so that we could get a window in there above the superior wall foundation)

So we've got a floor plan.  Now, how do we get started building this thing?
