Hard to give you any info without seeing a floorplan. :)

sorry, having issues with the upload...

This looks like a Deltec home! I don't have time right now to look closely at your plan, but my first thought is that if I were building Deltec I would not stray too far from one of their floorplans customized for these round homes, which can be a design challenge. One quick note, it would seem smart to adjoin the two main bathrooms rather than separate them with a closet. Deltec does offer beautiful vistas from the living room kitchen areas, I hope you will be somewhere with a nice view from the deck.

Wow this is a pretty ingenious plan for a round home! I'm curious what the basement will look like? I like your new plan a lot.

Thank you rockybird.

The "basement will be above ground" .. half will be garage space and the other half will look a lot like this picture.

We have made a few more revisions to make that guest bath smaller and add attic stairs on one side of the office so we could leverage the loft space that is available in this model. I am thinking something like this.

We just cut out a new section of squares and paste them over the area we want to change... my husband told me it was time to put away the glue stick and scissors :) .

Looks great! That basement space will be good for the kids. I'm curious why you guys chose a round home? To expand on the view?

We picked the company first, then one by one we reviewed their traditional plans against our wants/needs for a floor plan and round was the winner.

It was all about the quality of the shell and energy efficiency. The post by TJ, "Should I Be Worried", is exactly what we were seeing by custom home builders in our area for 500K+ homes.

Even worse was the energy efficient/green home builders that really just seemed like fronts for solar leasing companies who are partnering with home builders.

So , after months of research, site visits, modular factory tours, model home tours, etc, there was no question we wanted to go with this company...

Notice how nice those corners are and how perfect this window fits, no shims and I think it was machine cad cut. The catalog with all prices listed for all options is also nice.

So we are building round because we selected the company before the style..

Deltec builds some fine wall panels but I think there is room for improvement in the sill flashing details pictured. There does not appear to be a slope to the exterior or backdam which is something called for in most best practice window installations. It's admittedly better than what most custom builders are doing, as long as they don't tape the bottom flange.

Doesn't Deltec offer plans other than round? Not trying to talk you out of it, just curious.

Yes, they do offer non round plans. Some really good ones actually, I really liked many of their Renew Collection Deltec Renew . I think the changes you can make in the layout are limited and we wanted a larger size and a specific room arrangement.

I know nothing about window installation and even less about construction, so will recheck on how the windows are completed when we get to that point. This was an unfinished piece that I had just snapped a pic of when looking around at the factory. Even with my very limited knowledge I knew what I was seeing at the custom sites was not good.

So how did it turn out? I am considering Deltec here on the Oregon Coast for my build. Very curious! Photos would be awesome too! Also, any comments on resale value as they are not your typical street view home.
