Plotting & Planning

Views of the new house plans - front at street

FRONT OF HOUSE ↑main bedroom has walk-in closet and private bath.
Second bedroom (on the left at the front), has bath which can also be entered from the laundry room.

Rear showing terrace - garage under the main bedroom suite (to the left) is not shown

TERRACE OVERLOOKS THE "MIRADOR" (VIEW)

Garage goes under the main bedroom - since the property slopes - there are also 3 steps down inside, going to the Master BR.

Floor plan - 109 sq mtrs (1200 sq ft) + 60 sq mtrs of terrace accessed from each room by french doors/patio doors.

Lot and buildings -

Street runs here - ends with my lot.

Sugar cane field along the long side and there is a
couple of empty lots on next to my driveway - no other buildings on my side of the street yet.

~pretty simple, really - just two bedroom suites and a Kitchen/Great room combo. All rooms have glass doors onto terrace and views of the fields and mountains. The cabina and garage makes it work for space.

"temporary bodega" = construction storage shed

"cabina/taller" = guest cottage/workshop

"calle Arbor Cantando" = Singing Tree Lane

3 men & a wheelbarrow - starting the foundation

Staking out the foundation -

My  "Road" beside the construction

 

foundation for the garage (under the Prinipal Dormitorio)

Street level is equal to roof of cabina - so--

a lower level garage goes here, with my bedroom with terrace overlooking the top of the cabina roof and view beyond

Walls of the garage go up --

Concrete is mixed in wheelbarrow, transferred to buckets -

 

-- and poured into column

mold at corners
