Same drawings, with dimensions.

Lot 17 official measures, and minus 5' of setback

I considered the dimensions shown in the original scheme, as if these were in the middle of the wall, so the interior space is reduced by subtracting the thickness of the wall. For example, if dimensions in garage says 12'6" x 22'6, the free interior space will be 12' x 22'. Please tell me whether you agree with this.
Important to check the width of the corridor, I proposed 5'6 "W

Floor Plans Furniture arrangement



As you can see, in the Casitas there is no wall to divide the bedroom from the living room (loft style); this gives us the opportunity to create different levels in order to get a better view to the East from the bedroom and vanity area.  We may use blinds or shelves with books, plants or art pieces (not a rigid division)





More design ideas


Wall Detail - warm wood tones (possibly reclaimed local wood)

Like the rusted steel detail for raised planting beds

Like the single lightbulbs with simple/cheap metal "shades"

Outdoor shower with an interesting stone back

Another raised bed

Example of architectural rusted steel

Plan view idea

Maybe a step down the building to match the land slope?

It would make the hallway "disappear" looking East.

Also it would give the Casita's an opportunity for higher ceilings, and to have a more open loft feeling.

Change Front Stairs

Sample View of Casita looking West

Shower Idea

Inside Feel in Main Living Area


But want a more organic feel like this set up.
Like the cantilevered work area/bar to match cantilever style of front and back view of house.

Looking West Idea

Clean lines, big open deck for main living area and bedroom.
Layout would be different - bedroom extends farther out vs living for privacy in bedroom.


Cantilevered Stairs

Would like cantilevered stairs with clean modern lines and details.
