[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would do a Spanish-style layout with three wings around a courtyard. Main entrance onto living, dining, kitchen. One wing with guest suite & office (or forth bedroom). The other wing with three bedrooms. Courtyard opens to the east to provide lots of morning light. The courtyard would be a 'sun room' in the winter and easily open during the summer. Ah fantasies. Lol[/quote] Completely agree -- I am from the western US and love a low-profile courtyard home. I'm also skeeved out by basements! My in-laws are about to sell a gorgeous home like you describe (in Florida) and I am so sad to see it go; I wish we could move it up here somehow. I'm sad that the housing here is so boxy and upright. I understand the reasons for that design, but it just is not to my taste. I do think a more enclosed courtyard could work here on a small lot, if you could get permission to build close to the boundaries and keep your "yard" in the middle.[/quote]
