A large screen area with fireplace, room for dining and sitting is a must. Do not want to skimp here. Design-wise this is a little rustic but do like the barn beams thrown in, don't like painted wood (have had issues with our current painted wood peeling) Most designs we like seem to have fireplace on other side of great room fireplace (sharing chimney). Assume its cheaper to do this than have separate fireplaces.
Like this entry. Nice use of stone without over doing it. Like double doors though. Captures the feel of entry into the home that I have in mind... Not overly grand but also roomy and comforting. We're not really fans of arched beams though.
Another foyer example. (Like this ceiling better -Liz)
Foyer with lots of stone example.
Another foyer idea with a lot more window. Like the large beams used as room dividers.
This ceiling is great. Not too dark, not overly rustic. Also like the idea of cement flooring. Also like how they integrate lighting into the ceiling and the use of metal.
Floor lighting, uplighting, ceiling is nice (beams are nice, not barn wood but still rustic). This has a lighter look, not so dark rustic.. only issue is, I love those old hewn barn beams.
Here is a more industrial look to break up the rustic. Concrete walls and floors combined with the wood ceiling. Not sure if this can be done anywhere but basement? Hewn barn beams of lighter color in ceiling is great. Love the ceiling.
Great use of industrial and rustic. Really like how this feels. Is the concrete too trendy? Possible to mix into home somewhere?
Left wall use of wood and stone and lighting is super cool. (Love this wall-L) Seems like a great way of having a bit of stone without driving up the costs. The less drywall in our home the better, but mixed with wood and stone is so much better.
Like the use of stone and beams
Like this ceiling.
Love the ceiling and like wood around the beams. This particular home has some really cool design elements in it.
Cool ceiling, I think you are getting the idea :)
I like the stone broken wall idea.
Like to have: I like the idea of stone in a stairwell with beams and metal. This particular one is quite rustic and beams are a little dark.
The use of uneven stone on the fireplace is cool. More interesting than flatter rock like next photo.
fireplace, nice wrap around ledge, narrowing of stone maybe saves $
Must have: these lights. Would be cool to have one at the entrance with address marker, and a couple more leading up to the house. Like the turn-around with trees, stone etc. (but likely paved due to how long the driveway will be)
Like the dark shingles and minimal use of stone. Really like the deck above garage. Generally like the idea of using above garage as living space. This is a really cool exterior. Precision Craft says turn-key cost for this home is around 900k
This one has a lot of unique dimensions too it. Shows an example of less stone but still looking nice. Not married to this one.
This is the exterior of the floor plan we've been looking at from Precision Craft "Eagle's Nest". See floor plan on last page.
Just an example of a crows nest with deck.
House has a nice feel to the exterior.
interesting mix of barn wood and stone. Lots of stone though.
This is a nice looking nor-son. Really like the drive through area. Exterior is a little one-color but still nice.
Nice big windows
Love love, but how to avoid ups driving into it? Cost? Maybe a future add-on?
I like the cement border around the blacktop driveway. I'm not a fan of blacktop, but the length of ours probably requires it to save cost. Could be a future add, or only used up near house.
I really want a wind sock on the house like this has. More interesting use of barn wood.
Outside view of pass through area. This would be really fun but probably $$$.
Love this dining room idea. Probably impractical for Minnesota but a really cool idea.
I find this unique. Probably not practical but would be fun. Maybe a future connector to another space?
Like the pass through with glass. Practical in mn? Expensive to break up into multiple home areas?
Future screen porch out on the land between the lake and pond? Maybe an area for greenhouse?
Really like the covered deck on 2nd floor. Off master? (not the craftsman style though) Would take away from view though.
Must must have: separate wine cellar area in basement. Don't need the full area in the back (can be used for something else?) Nice to have: finished very similar to this. May or may not be conditioned (cost?)
Can one sink basement flooring to allow for lower chairs? Smaller theater idea maybe in future phases depending on price. Doors and finish boring.
Nice to have: Future theater - too big but love the design.
Nice to have: Future theater entrance - love the design, over the top though. Key point: Cool stone work on this pillar - way more interesting than flatter stone work.
Nice to have: Future theater - love the design with lanterns - smaller size.
Really like this look and feel. Walls, ceiling, door boarders, paint, no fireplace needed.. but maybe some stone on the wall. ceiling maybe a little low.
