Construction Details

This is a Mid Century Modern “Googie” Style Shed Roof Home. It is designed around a series of 14×14 modular rooms.

The home has a rock facade on one side of it and corrugated metal siding on the other.

 

This drawing shows the walls that have rock and the ones that are finished in metal – PLUS there is a screened in porch on the south side of the first floor AND the west and south sides of the 2nd floor.

The style is very open plan with concrete floors and open soaring ceilings. (NOTE the roof is a complete shed roof – unlike the 3D drawings shown).

 


THIS IS THE LIST OF DRAWINGS:

Floor plans: home’s exterior footprint, openings and interior room dimensions, built-ins, niches and appliances, doors, windows (I will supply a list) and square footage.

1) 1st floor plan

2) 2nd floor plan

This shows how the clerestory ‘casement windows’ are placed on the second floor (Loft – Master Bedroom – Guest Suite)

 

The following images will be provided

3) Floor Framing Plans for Second Floor of House.

Second floor of house has EXTERIOR patio OVER enclosed living space below. Floor framing plan to provide structural information such as the joist location, spacing and direction, as well as the floor heights.

4) Foundation Plan

Fully dimensioned and noted layout, including references to footings, pads, and support walls.
NOTE: The front half of the house requires additional “rock slab” for where the exterior will have rock facade treatment.

Testimonials

"I still can't believe that I ended up at this amazing place! This is a true WWOOF experience. A meaningful exchange of mutual benefit. Working side by side with Anand and Mason has been inspiring. They have wonderful spirits and have created their own space right in the middle of Las Vegas. An oasis. Their garden is beautiful and their food mind blowing! (I can still taste the ginger kale salad and that creamy berry smoothie!)
“They set an example for others and do this in a very positive way. I truly believe they make a difference in this city of excesses and lost spirits. Their motivation and energy is impressive. Thanks again! And for future WWOOFers, don't be intimidated by the house rules! They are what they are, and stand for the good intentions of these two individuals. Challenge yourself and embrace it. You will get a lot in return.”
Adriaan Bakker, WWOOF-US Guest

"I couldn't have found a better place to stay while I was in Vegas for a month. The hosts were super helpful and friendly! We went to health classes, meetings, and hiking while I was there. If you are health conscious, and sober, this is the perfect place for you to find serenity in a city full of chaos. I made new friends for life and will definitely go back in the future!"
Mary – Ashville NC Airbnb Guest

"I love this home so much. During my stay I observed Shabbat, met a Bikram yogi, got half a dozen great book recommendations, and a couple documentary recommendations too. I was introduced to some great green products and great places to purchase vegan foods."
