Would you please look over the plan attached and let me know if there are any things you find troublesome? Also, if anyone has built this plan we'd love to see pictures of the completed project! I can't figure out who the designer is so if you know who designed this plan please let me know. Thanks!

Le Marché aux Fleurs in Paris, France
Comments (1)Yes, it looks a petite place with pretty fruit trees and from the looks it appears that it may be pricey. I am happy that Grimo Nut Nursery was there when I first bought the fig trees not knowing any other source/resource....See MoreTres Le Fleur (in construction)

Comments (7)Thanks, JDez - I actually just noticed the other day that the Master bedroom window isn't centered. I'm still trying to decide if it will bother me! The good thing about it is freeing up a little more wall space for furniture. The downside is that I like symmetry, so I'm going to have to do some thinking about this. :-) Joyce - thanks for your helpful insights. Your thoughts about the guest bathroom and the long walk to the front door are spot on. Thank you. I'm going to explore changing both of those things. Live_wire_oak - your questions are good ones. The back of our home (north side) will face some woods. There's also another home back there, but it shouldn't be super visible from the back of our house. I do appreciate your thoughts about the shady exposure, though. Based on your thoughts, I'm wondering if we should put the screened-in porch or at a minimum, the patio (which isn't drawn on our plan yet) on the northwest side of the house so it gets the afternoon/evening sun. My thoughts about putting the kitchen in the front is because that's where I spend the majority of my time during the day and from there, I can see my kids at the bus stop, playing out front, riding bikes, and see the pretty views of the hills to our south. But the backyard won't have bad views, either. I just wanted to make sure a house plan tried to capture views of both vistas (the front and the back of the house). Thanks again! Your comments are incredibly helpful and you've all noticed things that I didn't think about initially, so I really do appreciate the insights you've all provided!

Comments (13)There are a few plans on the archival designs website that have a similar base plan with the kitchen in the front. We also considered the Laurel plan, but went with the Tres because the living room area was slightly larger. I'm glad my girls aren't old enough to want their own bathrooms because I don't want to be cleaning any more than I have to! The living/dining/kitchen feels perfect to me. I was concerned it wasn't going to be a comfortable place to kick back and watch TV, but seeing now all my concerns are gone. I think it's perfect. It's a high ceiling and I'm now just waiting to see how sound carries once it's furnished, but we'll mitigate that as much as we can with area rugs and wall hangings. We're not formal people and this fits our lifestyle perfectly. The kitchen is large - as I said, we removed the fixed island. We also put two dishwashers in (one on either side of the sink) and the range on the wall shared with the laundry room. It's a great size fr eating in and entertaining in if you're like us and always seems to be congregating in the kitchen. And just a side note to our under roof per square foot cost -- $85 is for all space under roof. For living space per square foot it's more in the $125 range....See More

5 years agoA different rear elevation. It’s amazing to me how different our homes look from the exterior based on modifications. We added a hallway and media room and game room between the garage and the house then pitched our roof so the rear is all covered.

5 years ago@chazzdog85 this is a pretty rough. Opt as it has markups from our building center but it’s what I could find fast. The hallway to the media and game room was actually done at 42 inches so we could have a finished 36 inch hallway. We built our home with almost all 36 inch doors to make it wheelchair accessible. In the master bathroom, I noticed that I have the vanity x’d out and moved. We actually did put it on that wall. Just a straight vanity there. Just a note we purchased the Marymount plan and modified the exterior to Tres Le Fleur. In hindsight we should have bought Tres Le Fleur and modified the interior. That is a lot easier when dealing with Framers. In the garage we also have a staircase. We just had this enclosed with an exterior door and finished the bathroom upstairs and we are putting in a kitchenette. Our daughter is going to live in there during nursing school. Just a heads up...The plan showed the kitchenette on the outside wall however there were issues getting the plumbing over there so we had to move it. That was a waste of money for double electrician work.
