Moving around the house, we come to the back which faces the lake. The stone patio and stained glass greenhouse are the feature here. Who wouldn’t want to sit there and have drinks while looking out over the lake in the evening? I thought the bees would be a fun touch. I like adding a few little touches of humor if I can.
Here’s another view of the front of the home.
In the original design, I didn’t have the stairway to the lowest level on the outside. It only had one from the inside. I, in new sight, decided the extra convenience of the outside stairway would be quite helpful. I made more corrections thoughout the home as I’ve revisited the design. More to come.
A thousand years ago, I went to college. I wanted to be an architect. Part of our finals was to design a home. I did plans, elevations, sections, details….the whole works. I passed. But, when I asked to get a letter to go further in my studies, I was told I’d be better off as a plumber. I’m obviously NOT a plumber (very far from it). And decided to take my career in a different direction.
A while back, I dug out those old plans and decided to create them in 3D. So after 30+ years, people can see what I had in mind. The building is all there. All four sides. I just haven’t finished the landscaping. Trees, plants and flowers take while. In the garage is a 1951 Chevy panel van. Black Cherry and Tan. I want one when I grow up.
Here’s the view as you would have arrived…..
Here’s the new designs for the Marino Campus. A logo tee, a athletic style tee, a women’s tee, and of course, a polo.
