Floor Plan Time

(Note: Click all pictures to see a larger version)

Front Elevation:

The part that says "wood siding" will be done using old slats from the cieling of the original garage. The windows and doors will all be mill finish aluminum, meaning they will be unpainted with that smooth/rough metal like brushed aluminum sort-of. The wood sections around the windows on the second floor bump out from the rest of the building a foot and a half or so. After some debate I chose to use corrugated steel as the main siding for the house. I had/have some reservations about using this because it's being used in many other modern houses these days, so I hated to do something unoriginal, but in the end I decided that it really is the right thing to use to achieve the industrial look that I'm going for.

Back Elevation:

Not shown is that the first floor in the back will be concrete block, like the rest of the first floor, and the second floor will be in the same corrugated steel siding as described above. All doors and windows will be mill finish here as well. If it's not obvious, the pole and horizontal lines on the left hand side indicate a spiral staircase going from the back patio to the second floor.

Side Elevation:

Because the garage takes up nearly the entire property, I made an outside area by removing the roof over the last 16 feet and building a wall in what was previously inside the garage. This side elevation shows that the second floor doesn't take up the entire length of the building, but stops at this outside patio.
