The Foster duplex is a pair of skinny little things who are conjoined twins. Originally designed as this duo to duplex a corner lot, we have successfully separated the ladies to find their own destinies. At a mere 40' wide, these two could saunter onto most infill lots without having to 'drop a few extra'. Corner lots are ideal as both gals tend to face different directions. The ample porch invites you to come relax and stay a while. Inside you'll find openness from the parlor through the dining room and into the kitchen.

A door off the dining room gives you private access to the backyard. All amenities are on the first floor including the laundry room and the master bedroom. These little ladies can be quite elegant, but they're not so spoiled that they need their own powder room. Everything they need to know in life they learned in kindergarten, including sharing with others. Besides, one less toilet to clean means more time to spend baking a quiche.

Upstairs are two bedrooms and a bath. The loft is big enough to host an intimate Tupperware party. One of the bedrooms in particular has a fun walk-in closet with window. This closet should definitely make any woman happy to display all her stylish clothes in (not that we're encouraging any peeping Toms).

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 Wilshire is an intrepid adventure back to the past. Built on the war-cry of all or nothing we decided that some things are just too important to go half-way. Take for instance the half-timbering and stucco, an important aspect of Tudor. Especially important on the second floor, the first floor is open to interpretation. "A chimney?" you say. Again, an important hallmark to the style. But have no fear on cost. It is easily framed and veneered in thinbrick to strike a balance between good looks and good budgeting. If it's not worth doing it right, it's not worth doing it at all.

Feeling like many of our other plans, the downstairs is a simple study in cubes. The parlor takes a few with its fireplace and exposed beams. The kitchen is a simple yet effective cube. The dining room is stout in its position. Finally the garage which is backed by a pantry and powder room. If you find that you need a bigger garage the powder and pantry can be released back into the wild. Some folks might ask if the casement windows are necessary given their higher price tag. The answer is a simple YES! All or nothing, my friend, all or nothing. Anything else would be heresy.

Upstairs are three beds and two baths with a little twist. Instead of standard framing for the master bed we used attic trusses. This is necessary to gain the variety of massing that is so important to the Tudor style. Otherwise you'd end up with one large contemporary box. Bad form. The loft extends a full 3' over the first floor. Again, the massing concept comes into play, but this also allows for a covered area over the front door without posts.

The laundry closet utilizes an interesting deviation. Instead of the usual side-by-side arrangement we've opted for a skinnier setup. Stacked units would also be appropriate.

IT WAS a dark and stormy night. Two shots rang out. A woman screamed. The butler did it. Of course it was the butler. It's always the butler. So maybe The Multnomah doesn't remind you of a Sherlock Holmes novel, but we think you will still find it intriguing. You could choose to live just in the coziness of 1137 square feet downstairs or take advantage of all 4 bedrooms in the well organized 1900 square feet. This mystery is also available in paperback and hardbound editions.

Through the front door a formal entry awaits you. There is a coat closet under the stairs, but we think it would be too cool if you installed a secret bookcase door instead. Perhaps there should be stairs going down a torch-lit stairway to some sort of Frankenstein like dungeon laboratory. Or the pocket doors that lead into the hallway could be paneled to match the walls, closing it off to all but the priveleged. This would certainly allow more privacy in the bed and bath. For those not in the know, step into the parlor with faux exposed beam ceiling and sit in front of the fireplace a while. The built in bookcases on either side might have a secret lever disguised as a book. Or not?

The parlor flows into the dining room through a half wall and tapered columns. In there lay a built in bench for extra seating. And of course the seat should open for storage. Opposite, the built in hutch is flanked on one side by one of those pocket doors that should match the paneling. And we can't help but imagine a painting on the other side. We're thinking a portrait with the eye holes cut out...

Upstairs are three bedrooms and a bathroom well laid out. A loft at the top of the stairs could function as a study area, a play area, or a crime scene investigation. The hall linen closet has been aligned right over the utility room downstairs. We highly recommend a laundry chute to quickly get rid of all your... laundry...

Compared to the other two, this Multnomah is built for luxury with larger bedrooms, closets, and a spa tub in the master bath. You might even like to go the extra step and keep a butler. Just keep a close watch on him...

The upper floor has all been laid out based on attic style trusses. We have provided multiple bearing lines downstairs which should be entirely adequate should you choose to stick frame instead. The great thing about stick framing is that it would give you so much more versatility in storage space and secret nooks and crannies.
