THE Durham is named for a small city in Oregon. The town is 0.4 square miles and claims 1400 residents. In the early 1900's a local nursery planted a myriad of trees throughout the area. In the 1960's the town was formed to prevent the county from converting their idyllic green paradise into an industrial hub. Due to land use laws, the city was required to zone more than just residential and green space areas. Despite this, they have been able to keep the trees up and the industry down. We applaud Durham for their conservation efforts and desire to work with the landscape.

We feel similarly about our little plan. Designed as an accessory dwelling unit, this plan was made for a purpose. While the original sports a footprint of a mere 12 by 24 feet, we've also added a 2 car garage version with a bonus room. All the comforts of home are here, as well as our trademark unique features. This time around we feature a spiral staircase. It takes less room than a conventional staircase and looks absolutely cool. We just know that you'll be able to squeeze some extra rent out of that starving college student because of it. For such a small unit, we highly recommend an on-demand water heater.

All plans include four elevations, floor plans, foundation plans, at least two building sections, framing plans for the second floor and/or roof, and notes and construction details. This is everything you will need to build, but may not be everything you need to get a permit. Check with your local jurisdiction. Electrical layouts, cabinet elevations and engineering are not included.

The Fremont was an experiment in sardinism. The idea was to take some reasonable townhouse units and filet them down to a small but livable size. Slap them together and see what could be done with a 50x100 lot. We might be rocking the boat a little, but then again you might find our idea to be the perfect catch

The first thing to be done was to figure a reasonable width given the lot size. Five feet to the sides is fairly typical which nets a building width of 40'. Three units would be 13'-4" wide and 12'-6" inside. Given that we are material conscious, we chose to scale back a little and make each unit 12' wide. We're pretty happy with the 7' side yards. This also allows room for some bumpouts on the sides. This turned out to be necessary for the bedrooms. We were hooked on the result and proceeded on.
The next big issue was the roof. Most units like this have their own gable ends with crickets in the middle. But given how narrow and long each unit is, the crickets were taller than the gables. Plan B: A typical front to back roof on the rear 2/3 of the building with some pizzazz up front. There are ten valleys, seven gables, six ridge lines, and four crickets.

Each unit is something of a shotgun house. The front door (protected by the upstairs cantilever) opens to a parlor/dining/kitchen combo. A small hallway behind leads to the powder room, garage and stairs. Up the stairs are three bedrooms, one bathroom, and a laundry closet. Per your preference, the laundry could be turned into the bathroom. We toyed around with fitting two bathrooms upstairs but they were about as cramped as a marine head. The downstairs powder room was an afterthought when we realized that there was only one toilet in the whole space.

Since the center unit has no windows on either side, a third bedroom is neither legal nor possible. We've labeled it a loft with no closet. What you do with it is up to you.

The Lombard 2 1558-2 - 3 bed, 2.5 bath, 1669 square feet, 2 units

THE Lombard plan is well suited for skinny lots. Being only 15' wide, it can gracefully squeeze onto an infill lot and still blend into your 1910's neighborhood. The lines are reminiscient of a Victorian home - the amount of detail added all depends on your taste for gingerbread. Personally, we like spice, but since you may not we won't overwhelm you with its presence.

The full front porch is deep enough to lounge on and enjoy a warm summer day. It's even big enough for a hammock if you swing that way. The parlor is spacious and includes a nice little throwback - an inglenook! We're not quite sure why it's named as such, but you can ingle there as long as you like. The fireplace is a built-in unit, venting out the side of the house. The chimney is completely false, but is added for character. We'll readdress it upstairs. The dining room has a faux dropped beam ceiling and we've worked an inset bay for charm. We also envision wood panel wainscoting with a nice chair rail. Perhaps some crown molding or picture rail? The kitchen is very functional, and when you need a table for one you can slip into the diner style eating booth.
Upstairs we have brought some semblence of the modern with a vaulted master suite. Remember the false chimney from downstairs? It makes such a great little nook to slide the loo into. A pocket laundry room on the second floor is highly convenient to the bedrooms. Two more bedrooms and a bath round out the rest of the upstairs. At 1669 square feet, this makes an ideal starter home.

This plan is available as a single wide. We originally fabricated this as a single dwelling for narrow lots. Check it out, you just might like it.

The Goose Hollow 3242 - 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, 2332 square feet

THE Goose Hollow represents the unseen. Much like the wind, you see some of the effects, but you can't see the thing itself. Those unfamiliar with the finer details of architecture may simply be awed at the home itself. But those with insider knowledge, those who know what questions to ask, those with an eye; to them will be revealed the secrets. For instance, the most obvious question would be to inquire as to the shape of the roofline. The average observer may think the house wider than long. But the enlightened will look deeper than the surface. Indeed, the deeper you search, the more you are rewarded with finding answers.

A cursory glance of the floor plan by the casual observer may yield typical results. All the right rooms are there and nothing looks out of the ordinary. A formal foyer greets the searcher and opens to a great parlor. The dining room is connected to a modern rear kitchen. Some flex space, a bathroom, and laundry seem typical. What of upstairs?

Ah, but the upstairs does not hold any secrets! Rather, were you to proceed up the stairs, you would find no more than you would have found downstairs. For what is up is down and what is lost is found. Wait, that center space. Those penetrations through the plane. That... hole? Until now, eyes have not seen what lies within. And what lies within is private though discoverable by those wishing to discover.

Have you never wanted to enjoy the freedom of what is without without revealing what is within? Here is where the Goose Hollow finds meaning in it's name. The central courtyard gives freshness to the indoor space, brightness to the recesses, and wonder to the neophyte.

As one ascends the heights, it now becomes plain as to what was hidden. The dawn is revealed! Sight is opened up and the light pours in. Some rooms are only lit from the inner part while others reveal both the inner and outer parts. The loft, for instance, is a private space from the rest of the world, though it is lit from the courtyard. The master bedroom is given preferential access to the outer space. Three more beds and a bath surround the other perimeter. All have some level of access to both inside and outside. A transom window over the two front bedroom doors would allow light from all around.

But as for the source itself, how will you address it? Will it be allowed to be natural? Perhaps it will be adorned with manicured specimens. Perhaps it will be one paved paradise, hardened to the influences of the outside. A bench? A koi pond? Fountain? Let your inner voice guide you.

The Belmont B 3232B - 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, 2027 square feet

THE Belmont is one of those fellows who seem to have it all together. Dashing looks, razor sharp acumen and a bit of daring contribute to the jealousy (and slight inadequecy) that others might feel in trying to match up. But that's quite alright, nobody's here to judge. Belmont is willing to accept all types. We like Belmont because he can wear so many hats. He can be brash and bold, quiet and introspective, or mix it up with a little foreign flair. Check out his other modes and see what we're talking about. Versatility could almost be his middle name.

From the downstairs entry the parlor and matching dining room open up for formal entertaining. The parlor is sized for a grand piano or a small party of ballroom dancing. The fireplace and built-in bookcases feature both form and function. The dining room can be closed off for a more private, intimate setting. Faux dropped beam ceilings and a built-in hutch capture a classy atmosphere. The kitchen is not overwhelming and can function for any circumstance. A private (or is that secret?) hallway entrance facilitates flow. The den can be used as an office or bedroom with its own bath, or the tub can be removed for a larger kitchen. A coat closet currently resides under the stairs, but would make an ideal entrance to a basement (or haunting place for trolls). Speaking of stairs, we hope you don't subscribe to feng shui. Those main stairs lead right out the door and we wouldn't want you thinking the energy would be channeled out of this house. If it really scares you, you can always mount a mirror on the front door.

The journey up the stairs brings you to three bedrooms and two baths. Both secondary bedrooms share a jack and jill style bathroom. Some folks still put locks on these doors, but that might turn your kids into jerk and jill. The utility room should be able to handle the loads that a football team puts out. Our first thought was to be able to park a sewing machine in there, but you do what you want. The master suite occupies the right side of the upstairs. You might wonder at the odd placement of the window in the walk-in closet. Odd perhaps, but it lines up with the window downstairs. See, we told you this was one Dapper Dan.
