Front of Custom Log Home

Due to the very nature of architectural plans (they’re massive) I’ll be posting some pieces of our custom designed log home (view by view and floor by floor) individually as images.

The front of our house will look like the image below. The roof is at a steep pitch (very dramatic) with two dormers. You’ll note this is similar to the artist’s rendering I have on another post.

Although the roof pitch is steep, plenty of height is given to the loft and upper bedroom, thanks to a shed dormer on the roof in the back (visible in the next image I’ll post).

The main and upper floors have a ceiling height of 9 feet, except for the cathedral ceilings in the kitchen, great room, and foyer (20+ feet high).

The differences between this custom log home and the artist’s rendering I posted earlier are:

• a smaller covered front porch (we incorporated a full length deck at the rear of the house),
• larger dormers on second floor (to allow Veronica an ample reading nook),
• front and double entrance into the foyer (allowing more light and to accommodate the smaller covered porch)

I know, I know, the artist’s rendering looks prettier than this image, but remember this is full on frontal view and only in black and white.
