The “Open” floor plan

We decided early on that we wanted an “Open” floor plan (especially on the first floor). The living room is one large space. The Kitchen and dining room are separated by a wide archway. Mike has paid close attention to the sight lines on the first floor. From the kitchen sink you will be able to see out the front, back, and side of the house. The living room provides views to both the front and back yards. From the north Music Room door you will be able to see straight through the Dining Room bay window, out to the Porch and beyond. From the south Music Room door you will be able to see out the Laundry Room window. Architecturally this is known as "layering" and increases the overall sense of expansiveness.
