Small lot, low height restriction, but sloping to the water and billion dollar view... I can do something with that.
How about a waterproof deck over the kitchen and dining?

I like big lots and cannot lie, you other designers can't deny, that when a client walks in with 5 acres or 10, you get smug.
( Sorry Sir Mix, that's all I got )
Master on main, 3 beds and bonus up, media room in the basement, optional RV parking... it sure is nice when you don't have lot constraints!

Sometimes the jurisdiction will let you call a major addition to your 80's house a duplex. This is a great concept for these homeowners who didn't want to leave their lot but needed some age in place designs and keep an income stream from renting the other house.

Apparently there are still some OG Architects drawing with pencils!
But they can't do this!
(This was for someone who had their house hand drawn, but wanted to see what different materials would look like in real life)

This was a fun project to get a mockup of what the builder wants to do with his divided lot, to help him sell the other house on the lot so the new buyers know that the view would not be blocked.
( It would have been interesting to do more, like showing the existing house and use actual views and topography but there was a time crunch. )

This project has been a challenge to my creative abilities to get the inside to have symmetry while the outside is not boring.
I hope the world is back to normal when this one is finished, because the Teams meetings are fine, but I want an in person tour!

This is a fun project, he grew up in this house, bought it from his parents and is now giving it the facelift it needs to match how the neighborhood has evolved. (Existing photo from Google)

In the past few years, I have been doing a lot of designs that include Mother-In-Law areas, technically called Accessory Dwellings, and quite a few detached structures for the same purpose.
Sometimes they are just boxes and very functional.
Then, sometimes I get to work with the client to get the small structure to match the exiting house, and we get something pretty cool, like this:

Sometimes the county finds wet land where you thought there were just trees and you have to change your plans from a huge addition on the South to a more practical addition on the North.

It is not a busy year, but I am still doing a few things. This is another one with a full deck as a roof to get a wider view of the water.
For those that notice and wonder, yes, we are cantilevering the landings and stairs to get up to the deck
