Four Square

Rear view

We have updated this house design as The Chesapeake Life House.  Click here to see the new green version of this design.

Total Living Area:  2,312 sq. ft.,
3 Bedrooms, 2 1/2 Bathrooms
1st Floor:  1,156 sq. ft., Living Room, Dining Room, Eat-in Kitchen, Foyer, Powder Room, Optional Office/Library
2nd Floor:  1,156 sq. ft., Master Suite & Bathroom, Two Bedrooms, Bathroom, Optional 3rd Bathroom
Optional Basement:  1,156 sq. ft., Family Room, Bedroom, Full Bathroom, Laundry Room, Storage Room
Dimensions:  34 ft. x 34 ft.
Features:  We took the traditional four square architectural style and redesigned the interior to create a more open floor plan.  At the center of the house is a two-story atrium that connects the living areas on the first floor and provides circulation space on the second floor.  The compact dimensions of this house make it adaptable to many sites, large or small, and in a rural setting the generous windows will offer expansive views.  In a more urban environment where homes are closer together, the atrium cupola will still allow light to flood the center of the house all the way down to the first floor.
