Best in Show

No wonder this plan took home Best in Show and Global Choice awards at the 2014 American Residential Design Awards! With expansive front and rear porches, this Visbeen Architects plan is designed for outdoor enjoyment, but is just as spacious and comfortable inside. The main level’s open layout connects the kitchen, dining, and living areas to one another, all with access to the outdoor porches. The master suite occupies one entire wing of the first level, while the upper level features three bedroom suites. The three-car garage offers a one-bedroom guest apartment on its second level.

It’s easy to see why this home won prizes at the 2014 American Residential Design Awards and the 2013 Best in American Living Awards. Designed by Visbeen Architects, the plan features a screened-in porch, fireplace-warmed courtyard, and several more porches for easy transitions between indoor and outdoor living. The open main-level floor plan centers on common living spaces, while still leaving room for a luxurious master bedroom. The upstairs loft offers two individual suites with private bathrooms. A detached garage with an optional bedroom suite above offers even more space. See more images, information, and the floor plan.
