HISTORIC PERIOD HOMES and SMALL HOUSES
WITH CHARACTER
'MANSION LITE' SCHEMATIC PLAN DESIGN SPECIAL
We will create a custom Schematic floor plan and front elevation for your home - in any style - up to 4,500 SF for a design fee of only $1.50/ SF total built area under roof. Just ask for our Free Questionnaire and fax back to us at 305/ 425-5855 with a 50% deposit based on the total size under roof (conditioned and non-conditioned space). We will respond within 10 working days with a period style or contemporary Schematic Floor plan and Preliminary Elevation. You may request additional interior and exterior details in optional phases after your ideal plan and elevation are designed. Contact architect at johnhenryarchitect@gmail.com for more details.
Select/study any of these beautiful historic period homes below and ask us to customize the plans for you. (See fee proposal below.) These charming homes are found in all our older neighborhoods; they are images of our fondest memories. All have a distinctive roof line, exterior details, and well-thought out floor plans. The plans may seem outdated but are eminently livable and can be expanded and reworked to suit your needs.
The designs include Mediterranean Revival, Tudor, Gambrel, Bungalow, Craft, and other transitional styles. Period houses at the turn of the century and up to the second world war employed an ingenious and occasional unconventional use of space. If you study these closely you will note that many do not have formal and informal areas but include nooks and special built-ins to divide space. Note that garages will have to be added either to the rear with a passage way or in some cases attached directly to one side. The plans range from 800-1,400 SF. Again: all the designs may be enlarged to your requirements. We can also include 'Green' building materials and energy saving specifications in any of our designs.
