House Plan: DFD-3695

I designed this dramatic contemporary with staggered rooflines that overlap and outline large expanses of glass. Flanking the two-story-high foyer are the formal dining room and the sunken living room, which is expanded by an airy 16-ft. cathedral ceiling. The adjoining sunken family room boasts a fireplace and sliding glass doors to a backyard patio. A step up, the bright breakfast area enjoys an eating bar that extends from the efficient U-shaped kitchen. A half-bath and laundry facilities are convenient. The second level features a spacious master bedroom with a 12-ft. sloped ceiling, dual closets and a private bath. Two secondary bedrooms, another full bath and an optional expansion room above the garage are also included.
