There was quite a bit of interest in a house I designed that was craftsman style, so here's a real one from downtown Greenville, SC, drawn in my sketch book in pencil from the street (no photo) , plus I measured and sketched the porch, a perfect porch. Some of these were "kit" houses, which means that a catalog company like Sears sold a complete kit to build this house, and you built it yourself (with help.)

I've always wanted to own a home of the Craftsman style. You did an excellent job of capturing "homeyness" of the style. It's such an elegant and clean style... plus "inglenook" is just fun to say!;)

Well done!:)

Thanks for nice words! Yes, I think the craftsman bungalow is the ultimate American home really, perfect for town, suburb, or country, and sized right for any average family. Just update the floor plans, but the exterior "look" can be the same as hundred year old houses!

OHH? What is "beit reefy?" I'm surprised at the amount of interest in the craftsman bungalows that I have posted. They are an ultimate American type of architecture, invented maybe a hundred years ago...

People would be able to tell you're a draftsman just because you use axonometric and isometric perspectives alot.

The house looks beautiful from the outside, but inside on the upper floor, the use of space would be severely restricted by the slope of the roof...

Yes, but very nice space it is! That's a big "shed" dormer, so it carves a big notch at a reasonable ceiling height, plus, it's well lit. Good philosophy: always live in the roof, or use up attic space. Old houses did this, but new houses here often have huge roof trusses which negate use of space. The European idea of calculating volume doesn't work here. We use volume poorly!

The space where the roof slants in the rooms is not very useful though, you can't hang pictures on the walls or sometimes even stand there, depending on the slope grade. It definitely looks nice but it's not very practical for logistics.

We have a rule where we can't declare square foot if the space is less than 5 feet, so often, with this situation, we build a 5 foot high wall where the ceiling height is at 5 feet. That way, you can put a piece of furniture up against the wall...
