Architecture is meant to fulfill both practical and expressive requirements, and thus it serves both utilitarian and aesthetic purposes. When you look at a structure, you can distinguish these two ends but they cannot be separated, and the relative weight each of them carry can vary widely. Plus, every society has its own, unique relationship to the natural world and its architecture usually reflects that as well, allowing people from other places to learn about their environment, as well as history, ceremonies, artistic sensibility, and many aspects of daily life.

This exclusive Rustic Ranch plan presents a 10'-deep porch that spans the entire front elevation with an open gable centered above double doors. A vaulted ceiling soars above the combined great room, kitchen, and dining area; a comfortable space for family and friends to gather. The island kitchen includes an eating bar and a corner pantry, and sliding doors permit access to a 28' by 9'9" covered patio. The master bedroom occupies the right side of the home and features an oversized shower in the attached bath and access to the laundry room through the master closet. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are nearly identical in size and share the hall bath that separates them.
This Modern house design is strikingly handsome with an eclectic exterior featuring warm colors and woods along with stone pillars and a stone perimeter skirt. A plethora of window views highlights the exterior while flooding the interior with natural light and ambience. The front entrance is inviting and there is a two car adjacent garage nearby which features plenty of vehicle and storage space. There are two covered outdoor areas on the main exterior of the home and an overhead deck with railing is located off the upper level living spaces. Warm undertones are featured on the roof, front porch and side porch and are gorgeously highlighted at night. There are approximately 1,559 square feet of living space dispersed throughout the lower and second level as well as an overhead artist’s loft. The front covered porch and the double front entry garage grants access to the interior entry stairwell leading upstairs as well as providing access to a lower level bedroom, closet, and a full private bath. The main level of living opens onto the vaulted kitchen with wrap around counter space that features a peninsula island for seating and window views over the double sinks and at one end of the island. An overhead center beam spans the width of the interior defining the kitchen space from the vaulted family room. Sloped ceilings, double doors to the outdoor balcony and plentiful window views are found in the family room. The ship’s ladder off the family room provides access to the overhead artist’s loft which offers approximately 150 square feet of additional space; great for bunking guests, use as an office or a true artist’s studio. The main bedroom is found on this floor and offers great window views and there is a huge en suite bath accessible from the bedroom and adjacent hallway. Dual linen closets are found within the bath space as are dual vanities, a shower with seating and a private toilet room. The large owner’s closet is a walk-in with great space and there is a pass-thru to the stacked washer and dryer with adjacent storage nearby. This is a great family vacation home, a home for young couples or professionals or a nice lakefront or mountain home for empty-nesters.
