A lot depends upon how the house should relate to the site. I have never designed a home where there was no real view to the outdoors from the living room except to the person standing at the front door.

To help facilitate discussion, here's the link, and images of the front elevation and plan. :-)

I don’t think I have ever seen a living room with literally no windows. Kind of the opposite of the plans that have kitchens with no windows.

Ditto the others. Plus, it's going to be really hard to arrange furniture in the living room because of the space needed for walkways/traffic patterns.

This house looks nothing like the Low Country houses I've seen built. It's just a plain old farmhouse with a porch and a terrible floorplan inside.

We just built this plan ~ love the interior design. The front door (and the back foyer door) allow lots of light to enter the living space.

I would love to see photos of the elevation. We are using the elevation as the deaign for our home. we are working with a draftsman now.

Here you go.

gorgeous!

Thanks for posting this! We are planning to build this house later this summer. Any changes that you made or might recommend?

Did you put a basement under your house? If so, where did you put the basement stairs?

We love the floor plan but made a few changes. We added some extra square feet in the mudroom/laundry area and the rear of the master suite area by not turning the walls back inward. We reworked the master wing of the house to include a sunroom/office area in the back.
No basement.

Thanks. Where did you put the office area? Did you extend the master suite into the screened area? We are thinking to enclose the back screened porch with glass doors that will accordion open in the nice weather.

Here’s a snapshot of our reworked master space. Adding the sunroom to that area was worth downsizing the bedroom/bath/closet. Our screened-in back porch is one of our favorite areas.
Your idea for that space sounds great.

We are building this house in a few weeks. we also extended tye laundry area. Have you experienced any issues with the minimal upper cabinets in the kitchen? Any changes to the back kitchen area?

We have lower cabinets extending along the back kitchen wall and floating shelves above on either side of the window. We use those for our everyday dishes. There’s plenty of lower cabinet space in both kitchen areas. One other thing we did was to make the closet in the dining area a storage area for our extra dinner ware etc.

I LOVE all the light provided by the kitchen windows. Great trade off for cabinets.
