I designed my whole house, but I built it in stages because I could not afford to do it all at once. The part with the deck came first. In the basement is a sauna, shower, toilet, laundry area, and garage. The first floor has the kitchen, and a screen porch. The third floor is a bedroom and a sleeping screen porch. Although I was able to sleep soundly in the screen porch at my parents house in Denver, in Iowa the birds are very loud in the morning. Since we didn't sleep there I have since turned it into my office. We lived in the first section of the house for about 3 years.
Then I started the addition. In the lower level it includes a root/wine cellar, and a large basement. The first floor is a solar space, living and dinning area and a half bath. The third floor has another solar space, three bedrooms and a full bathroom.
