Post Modern #2A

This design isn't new. Back in the spring of 2004 I did Post Modern #2, and always promised to update it to my "current" production standards. So I did.

What's changed? Let's see. Other than landscaping and furnishings that I wasn't doing back then, I changed the color scheme, slightly. The exterior isn't white anymore, and the banding isn't charcoal gray. I also added the banding to the support columns located at various strategic points. I did muck with room colors and tile, and added decorative borders around the tops of many of the walls. Perhaps that's too much? I don't know.

I added the pyramidal skylights to the bedrooms and to the kitchen. I also eliminated the curved glass brick wall surrounding the sunken garden tub. The tub is still there, but I made the space slightly larger and put large windows on two sides. I added an enclosed, private courtyard to provide the privacy that the glass brick once provided.

In back I put in a patio and some furniture. The curved glass brick wall at the back of the dining area is still there: it's one of my favorite features! I fixed the misalignment of the glass bricks between floors. It looks reasonably clean, now.

This is a front view from the eastern side of the house.

This is another rear view, from behind the garage and looking down the western side of the house.

The garage and breezeway.

Here we can see the breezeway a little bit better.

From inside the front doors, we see the family room, complete with widescreen TV and comfy couch.

From in front of the master bedroom doors we look toward the living room.

From in front of the large windows, we look toward the front entrance doors.

This view shows the dining room. Note that I added sliding glass doors so we could go outside to the patio, if we wished. In the original design we had to walk around to the family room.

From the sliding glass doors in the dining room, we look toward the fireplace in the living room.

We turn left and look inside the kitchen. Note the skylight.

From the corner in the kitchen, we look back toward the dining room. The hall to the left leads to the gallery.

Here is a view of the living room and family room from the vicinity of the gallery immediately south of the kitchen.

From the doorway at the southern end of the gallery, we can see part of the kitchen, and the living room (near) and dining room (far). The family room is at left.

This is the front bedroom. I deliberately kept these rooms sparse and clean looking.

Here is the same bedroom from the corner with the window (as seen above).

Here is the second bath. Orange, dark blue, and yellow.

Another view of the bath.

This is the east bedroom, around the corner from the one above.

Looking toward the closets from the corner next to the bed.

Now we check out the master suite. Here is the bedroom proper. I like how this room came out, particularly the color scheme. Note the door at left that leads to the private courtyard.
