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.

I realized yesterday that my entire 8' grid was really 7' -11 3/8". URGH....LOSER!

I am redrawing the entire first floor with the extended plan in the new grid. The joke is that, the grid is to the center of the walls... almost useless compared to material maximization. I will deal with all of that when I leave schematic design. Right now I need to solve the larger programmatic problem, and then go back and refine my design goals.
