hi all!
as i mentioned inmy previous post about MR Daniels - that is exactly the method i want to use to create mini houses. with one major difference - she is inspired by tuscany whereas i am inspired by the fabulous New Orleans French Quarter. i adore strolling through the streets of the quarter and looking at the amazing architecture. a common style is the creole cottage which looks like this:
so after much discussion, research and back and forth with design ideas my brother drew up some plans and got to work:
here the doors and windows are switched - either way is correct.
and the floor plan - front porch being on the left. They are basically 4 room houses with two pantry rooms on either side of a back porch - shared fireplaces between each of the front rooms and middle rooms.
and here is some initial construction pics:
here is the base of the house with the subfloor pieces laid. there are grooves to put the wall pieces into when building.
he does really nice work - the base is framed well.
this gives you an idea of how the walls will go in. then a floor for each room. i'd give anything to live nearby so i could hang out in his workshop and we could work together!
what do y'all think?
