Refining the Concept

In mid-June we sat down with Ryan for another design meeting. Meeting with Ryan in closer succession has really made the process more fluid, and we have been making steady progress. 

While many of the ideas from the initial drawings have remained, in the below images, a few new concepts have emerged. There is now a small glass hallway that separates the master bedroom from the main living area. The master bedroom has been bumped out to accentuate the views of the mountains and provide for a more modular feel to the home's profile. There is also a slick window in the master bath that will accommodate views while in the tub.
 
The kitchen has been moved forward, pushing the dining room to the back portion of the house. The kitchen has a huge island and is oriented to capture the views. Moving the dining room was an easy choice because we will spend way more time in the kitchen.

The lower level has also been modified to provide for a large media room and spare bedroom.

We are very happy with the new design additions! We are still considering a few more details related to the floor plan but are getting very close to finalizing the concept.
