A SHAPELY ESTATEDesigned by

Jon Cody

This was one of my first houses done on AutoCAD. I believe a lot of it also included my first planning of proper door and window placements. The second floor shown, I plan to redesign at a later date to create more open space over the great room.

1st Floor

The 1st Floor of this house starts in the grand foyer with a split staircase leading up to the second floor. Through the archways on either side of the stairs, you enter into the great room. To the left of the great room is a room dedicated to music. Also shown are the library, a large office, and the master bedroom complete with a personal sauna in the Master Bath. On the right of the great room is the large dining room, kitchen, a utility room and the three car garage complete with a built in work area.

The most exciting feature of this house to me, is the split staircase in the foyer of the house. I actually built the house around the staircase. The great room behind the staircase will also be rather impressive once completed as its ceiling height will extend to the second floor.

2nd Floor

This was the original plan for the upper floor. I haven't put a lot of detail beyond what you see here yet but I am thinking about coming back to this house and redesigning the upstairs to make the entire great room open. The hard part in this design is figuring out how the rooms will merge with the roof lines as not all of the first floor will have a second floor above it.

In Progress Roof Design

Here was my start to designing the roof line with the current plan. It probably wouldn't work because I think I have creases that would leak into the house.

This is simply the overview of the current design of the house.
