About the design

Oahu Floor Plans: A twin occupancy prototype; this Bali style design attempts to invert inside circulation into perimeter circulation, to create a feeling of expansion. The lanai side of the house contains an open ambiance and the deck is ample enough to allow for family get-togethers. By keeping this as a single entry unit, we have been able to maximize the bedroom space in the rear of the structure. A clear-cut even pitched roof is employed with a real clean ‘keep it simple’ look from the fascia to the peak. The extended roof rafters protect the lanai from direct rain, while still allowing for indirect/diffused light to enter the common area. By providing for entry to the bedrooms along the perimeter, this allows for larger living quarters and less dead space in this efficiently designed Oahu Floor Plan.
