Each of the following has both advantage and disadvantages but after considering the needs carefully the designer will approve the most appropriate.

2.2.3.1 One story with a pitched roof and flat ceiling This popular house is built with conventional rafter and ceiling joist framing Methods. It lends itself easily to prefabrication, which is gaining in acceptance though out the United States. It also has the area on one level. built with or without advantage of having its living This type of house can b e basement.

2.2.3.2 One story with pitched roof and slopping ceiling This type has evolved from the plank and beam type framing, and its popularity is due mainly to the massive exposed beams and sloping ceiling in the interiors, as well as

2.2.3.3 One story with a flat roof and flat ceilings With built up roofing material comparing favorable with conventional roofing, this type has become definitely contemporary in nature and is a very economical type of construction. (The same structural member used for both the ceiling and the roof.) It requires skillful design of its elevation views to overcome boxy appearance, and its strong horizontal roof lines often appear monotonous unless broken with offset or various roof levels.

2.2.3.4 One and one half story with two living levels This structure type has less living space on the top level. It is associated with the New England cape code house. The basic simplicity of the true cape code designing should be retained in proportion and in detail when an approach to historical authenticity is desired.

2.2.3.5 Two story with two living levels: pitched roof with flat ceilings Numerous two- story houses are rich in traditional charm .Their heritage can be captured only by the correct proportion and detail usually associated with many of the New England houses. Either gable or hip roofs of various slopes can be used with the two- story design; often lower roofed additions to the main box seem to enhance the overall silhouette. Upper story projections not only increase the 2nd story living space but also tend to reduce the strong vertical appearance.

segment that combine in pairs to make one full story height. Multi levels provide excellent zoning for different activities, and their exteriors can be given interesting variety.

Site planning of house


Site plans are drawn to show the location of a home on the property in its context. It is an overhead view of the construction site and the home as it sits in reference to the boundaries of the lot. Site plans should outline location of utility services, setback requirements, easements, location of driveways and walkways, and sometimes even topographical data that specifies the slope of the terrain Building a house is a complicated process. Youre constantly juggling designideas, needs, essential functions, construction details, esthetics, and affordability. And remember one of my mantras, or what some might call my daily rants house and lot/site should complete each other like any strong partnership. So the juggling process continues outdoors as well. Why am I always surprisedTake todays meeting at our ranch house construction site, for example. Architect Nicholas Lees plan carefully situates the house on a north-south axis to preserve as much of the lot for outdoor living as possibl

The driveway is at the left or north end. The site plan, unlike the house layout itself, forces us to consider the functions of the sections of the site. The late great landscape architect Thomas Church always attempted to make his outdoor spaces compatible functionally with the rooms adjacent to them. And thats what we want to do here i.e. have a more public sitting and entertaining area off the Great Room beside the pool, and a more private area off the bedrooms. To refresh your memory, heres the Long House plan again (508-1) showing the Great Room and the entrance off the porch beside the kitchen.

You can see in the plan below how we havent quite fixed the placement of the pool moving it a few yards south would give more room for the outdoor entertaining area.

The big diagonal line at the left of the plan marks the required area for the septic system in fact the septic system essentially determines where the house itself can go on this lot. A water storage tank is also required, along with a small pump house for the pool. These latter elements present new challenges and possibilities. Should the tank be at the front of the house as a kind of agricultural exclamation point to the front facade?

should it be close to the pump house, or somewhere else.

It turns out that for practicality sake, the tank needs to be near the well (we decided that today so the tank is not yet in the drawing) which is at the southwest corner of the lot. This is where it also seems most logical for the pump house to go and provides the opportunity for a handsome

The design form follows the topography and shape of the land, a slender footprint allow for cross ventilation and solar access to all rooms of the house whilst maintaining views of Pittwater from every room. The house built in a single low scale building to the street, with the remaining floors below. Distributed into 3 floors with the main circulation space working along the south of the house as the main circulation spine. The different levels are connected by 2 of flights of stairs and voids that overlap to enhance the sense of space. Circulation of two types: 1. Horizontal circulation and 2. Vertical circulation 2.2.1.1.4.1 lounges. Circulation on same floor is called horizontal circulation It can be accomplished by providing direct well lighted passage. Independent passage should be provided to living common room, lobby and staircase. 2.2.1.1.4.2 Vertical circulation Circulation between different floors is called vertical circulation. For vertical circulation between two different floor, stair case is only a though fare. It should be well lighted ventilated easy to climb and broad.

Example of circulation in house

what is foyer
The transition from outdoors to indoors can be very jarring if a visitor walks straight through a door and directly into a living room or front parlor. An architectural design element called a foyer often helps visitors orient themselves before moving into a specific room of the home. A typical foyer is a small hallway or open space just behind the main entrance which acts as a reception area for guests. Other ground floor rooms may connect with the foyer, as well as a staircase leading to an upper floor. A foyer also serves as an initial introduction to the home's overall design scheme. An open foyer's walls may feature framed paintings or other fine art objects. It may also be sparsely furnished with decorative tables, coat racks, an oversized room clock or framed mirrors. The foyer may be lit with several floor lamps or a dramatic overhead light fixture. The foyer of a home may also be considered a transitional space, much like a mud room or anteroom. Coats, boots and umbrellas are often kept in the foyer for convenient access during inclement weather. Guests may remove their shoes and leave them in the foyer during visits. Some foyer designs include a small but functional half-bathroom which allow guests to freshen up before entering the rest of the home. The word foyer itself comes from the Latin focarium, meaning "of the hearth". This same Latin root can be found in the word focus, which suggests a foyer should be considered the focal point of the modern home, much like centralized fireplaces or hearths became the focus of ancient homes. A home's foyer provides visitors the opportunity to orient themselves before moving on to other rooms of interest.

Zoning
Residential occupancies containing sleeping units where the occupants are primarily transient in nature, including: boarding houses, hotels, motels Residential occupancies containing sleeping units or more than two dwelling units where the occupants are primarily permanent in nature, including: apartment houses, boarding houses, convents, dormitories. Residential occupancies where the occupants are primarily permanent in nature and not classified as Group R-1, R-2, R-4 or I, including: buildings that do not contain more than two dwelling units, adult care facilities for five or fewer persons for less than 24 hours. Residential occupancies where the buildings are arranged for occupancy as residential care/assisted living facilities including more than five but not more than 16 occupants. Conditional zoning allows for increased flexibility and permits municipalities to respond to the unique features of a particular land use application. Uses which might be disallowed under current zoning, such as a school or a community center can be permitted via conditional use zoning.

Spaces which have similar and related function form zone Zone1 (living zone) lobby, living room, garage, verandah etc. Zone2 (meal zone) kitchen, dining room, breakfast room, etc. Zone 3 (sleeping zone) master bed, children bed room, bath room etc. Zone 4 (utility zone) store, laundry, traditional kitchen etc.
