Welcome to our home feature designed by the Design Office of Deana Lewis Inc.

Are you a family of five or more, living with in-laws or a few relatives? Would you agree that space problems are your concern at home as well? Well, worry no more as we have discovered a perfect place to accommodate each and every one of your family member’s space needs.

This feature is an abode designed for a busy family, which would obviously require a free and movable space around the interior. This home is created with the aim to not just build a home having all the aesthetics but a functional home as well.

While the functionality is acquired in this design, the open family home is still reserved to afford each of the family member’s personal needs.

According to the designer, Deana Lewis, “The design needed to allow each group enough privacy and independence so that the home would meet their needs regardless of how many people were under its roof at a given time”.

Prior to presenting to you this project’s features, let us give you the glimpse of the whole project, which we believe is a great option for large, busy families.

All in all, the house has a both an indoor and outdoor central living area, which stretches its way up to two stories.

The main floor is composed of what they termed as an “in-law” suite, which is separated by a double sided brick feature detail from the central living space. This space accommodates the family fireplace, television set and other furnishings like storage cabinets and shelves for displays.

On the second floor is the open sculptural staircase, which is separated in two different areas, including the primary suite that has large bedroom, covered deck, large ensuite and walk-through closet; and it also has the “kids wing” having bedrooms, bathing and laundry amenities.

Having all these, the roofs on the other hand is covered with architectural asphalt shingles while the siding is made of either architectural white stucco or tongue and grove cedar.

Check out some of this home’s amenities and get inspired with how beautifully delicate and intricate the interiors are. Enjoy!
