| 1818 Seminole Drive |
We designed our home to be very simple - but stately and open. The lot at 1816 Seminole Drive is sunny and wide open with several nice sight lines from Seminole Drive. After we designed our home - we noticed that it had several of the features of the Catherine Murat Plantation which is featured at the Tallahassee Museum. We decided to incorporate several of those features into our home.
The home is a 60 x 60 feet square including the porches. The interior floor plan is 40 x 60 feet. Upstairs there will be a 1200 square foot attic with plywood floor and overhead Icynene insulation - the liquid foam stuff. It could be later finished into 2 bedrooms and another bathroom.
We wanted to make sure the it was light and airy inside. We did this by providing 10 foot high ceilings and plenty of 6 feet high windows. Each corner bedroom will have 4 large windows - 2 on each outside wall. The windows on the east and west sides will be protected from direct sunlight by long porches. All windows will featured interior plantation shutters for window treatment. The rooms can be bright and sunny - or completely dark.

| The house will emulate Bellevue - the Catherine Murat Plantation |
The will be a green energy saving home. When I say green - I mean it will save money. It will have 6 inch studs in the walls and the spaces will be filled with liquid in place Icynene insulation. the roof and the side will be covered with 3/4 inch plywood. Ship lapped Hardiboard will cover the outside. The roof will be covered in fiberglass asphalt shingles.

| Both sides are the same - front and back are the same |
The challenge has been made to complete it in 100 days. That would make a goal of November 10th to finish the main house. There will be a separate garage.
 |
| The floor plan is 2400 square feet - 3 bedrooms - 2 bathrooms - 1 great room - 1 bonus room upstairs |
We hope you follow along on this page.
