Some fun storybook home floor plans by Mike

Let's have some fun.  Here are some floor plans that I did for the Storybook homeowners club.

A small clinkerbrick cottage

I thought up the above little clinkerbrick cottage as an in-law residence.  It could also be a student residence.

a four bedroom home

The larger home pictured above based on some yelland designs.  The bedroom and bathrooms on the left side of the home stack with the first and second floor being identical for that half the home.

an interesting home for a corner lot

The above home was a fun design to do.  It's a tri-level home.  It has a bee-hive corner fireplace out of clinkerbricks.  This home can be used on a corner lot.

one of my favorites

I like the concept of a great room living space.  I thought that storybook gothic would lead to that really well.  Can you imagine the vaulted ceiling?

I also like the two smaller bedrooms sharing the bathroom off the hallway.  Each of those two smaller bedrooms (no1 & no2) have their own patio balconies.  The master bedroom has a large walk-thru closet and a fun tacked on shed roof window seat.

based on Yelland's tupper and reed building

The above home is based on the Tupper and Reed Building in downtown Berkeley by Yelland.

a manor home

A hillside home with a great room again.  This time the bedroom wing stacks on top of itself to create a second floor of bedrooms.  Built in two car garage lower on the slope.

I really enjoy these. I have not yet found very many people who can draw these kind of homes and them still be usable. Very nice. Do you have any more of these designs?

Seth,

Thank you for the nice comments.  I doodle them anytime I can.  I haven't had too much spare time recently.  Now that I know that someone's looking at the plans I have already done.  It would be great if other activerain members would doodle out some floor plans and add them to this group list.

If you like storybook style homes, you should check out www.storybookers.com and it's associated yahoogroup also named storybookers.

Are you in a part of the country that has many homes of this style?
