A single-story, open floorplan
/Rob’s first general pass at our dreams of a ranch-style home concept came back after a week later and we opened it with eager eyes. It was pretty much perfect from the start. Sure, over the next few months we would take it through countless iterations and tweaks, but the initial concept has largely stayed the same. The general look of Rob’s plan, and his feel and concept for a floor plan was exactly right.
At this point in the process, we needed to take a trip out to San Francisco and met with Rob to walk through the design layout in-person. It was a tedious process of deliberately questioning the flow and function of every room, but I loved being able to (virtually) walk through the house and learn how to use SketchUp, a 3D modeling app. Our visit was made even sweeter with Rob and his wife’s hospitality complete with a trip to the iconic neighborhood joint, Zeitgeist, and getting to cuddle with the new litter of kittens Terri, Rob’s wife, was fostering. (Terri has fostered over 100 kittens and mama cats! For friends in the Bay Area – go check out Allie Pals Cat Rescue!)
And here’s where we ended up!
