Raising the Roof for Room

This design began as a standard Amano Home that I also designed with the request to put a loft above.  The home overlooks large well-manicured parkland and also enjoys glimpses to the ocean so it was worth the extra to raise the roof.  With a steeper angle to the roof providing enough room without adding any wall height (critical to satisfying tough regulations on wall heights to boundary setbacks and also keep the budget trim) the resulting home makes quite a statement to the street.  With it's already raised ground level above the footpath, together with the additional height it becomes a landmark.

The original home was designed for views and with the garage accessed from a street behind and thus not taking up any street scape it is perfect to take the best advantage of a great outlook.

Seen here the home is near to completion by custom home builder Amano Homes.
