'We wanted to try another type of plan rather than a strict bungalow. The simplicity of the front facade of this home was inspiring. Unfortunately the interior was not so simple to work out. BUT after working on this plan for a long time, it finally came together. The front room would be such a nice cozy den to watch a movie in. That'd leave the living room open to a fireplace where you wouldn't have to mess it up with a huge TV over it. The rest of the downstairs is quite open and informal - much like myself.' - Brooks Ballard
