2-Bedroom, 1569 Sq Ft Modern Plan with Peninsula/Eating Bar

Passive solar features are found in this practical design; south-facing glass walls and skylights collect solar heat which is retained in the central masonry wall backing the fireplace. Two-by-six exterior wall framing, an airlock vestibule and a rear garden/mudroom greenhouse further aids energy collection and retention. The Great Room is the dramatic center of the plan, with its soaring vault and two-story fireplace wall. The kitchen overlooks the dining room with the sunny greenhouse beyond. There are three bedrooms upstairs, including the master suite.
