As a residential architect specializing in the shingle style, I have decided to try and design an architecturally “A+” 2100 (amended to 2721 sqft) square foot house to make available to the masses for a low cost compared to my one off designs for full service fees. The style will be Neo-New England vernacular design; very simple and boxy to save money, analogous to a traditional cape or colonial, but putting a focus on architectural design and material quality rather than traditional fluff.

OK... I started with an 8' grid and I am cruising. I have moved the dining area into to the living room for a true great room. I am going to try and put the kitchen in the center back with a bump out. The plan is tight... but I cant get upset about it. I am forcing much program into minimal square footage.


I am going to the CORA meeting/Reinvention Tuesday so I don't know how much this will progress this week. Please be open to change, I design like solving a Rubik's cube, always looking for a more ideal solution. Obviously the lack of a site makes this both easier and more difficult.
