while i was looking at house plans a few days ago i came across this great studio house that's shaped like a tower. i think this is an absolutely great house because it has a great tower shape and it fits so much inside it too.
the lower floor has a garage area that looks like it has enough room for a car and there'd still be space left over for other things. the floor plan shows room for a kayak or a canoe or a boat of some kind but i think this area of the garage could also be used for storage or for a small workshop. this could be a great area to do some woodworking. off to the one side there is an entrance hallway that's connected to the garage and to an entry that's off to the side of the house. this entry area has a closet at one end near the door to the garage and then on the opposite side there are stairs leading up to the upper floor.
the stairs leading to the upper floor are shaped like the letter l. at the top they end at the kitchen area. this kitchen area is actually very complete given its small size. it looks like there is room for a small fridge and there's a stove and there's a sink and some counter space too! across from this kitchen area there's the bathroom. it has a toilet and a sink and a shower too.
the rest of the upper floor is best described as the living area. here we have a small closet and the rest of the room is basically a rectangular area. there's a fold out bed along the wall shared with the bedroom. i think this is a great idea because when there's not much space to work with then it's really important to make the best use possible of the space that is available and using a fold out bed is a great way of doing this. when the bed is out of the way then the area where the bed normally is can be used as a living area with some chairs and maybe a sofa too. even with the bed in the down position there's still space in this room for a small dining area.
this is a very compact tower house. it has a great outer appearance but it's also got a lot of the things we'd expect from a much larger house. i really like how it looks from the outside though. the tower look is unique and very special.
