The covered patio is sized for two chairs and a small table, and that is the whole point — slow coffee before eight, a paperback in the afternoon shade, the dog stretched out at your feet while the neighborhood goes quiet. The Solenne is built around exactly that: an open-concept main living area, a kitchen with real counter space, and a primary suite that finally gets the square footage it deserves.

Floor Plan – Main Floor
Two bedrooms anchor the left side, the primary suite tucked well away from Bedroom 2. An open living, dining, and kitchen core runs through the center, and the covered patio stretches nearly 38 feet across the rear. A front office doubles as a flex room.
Slate Base and Black Roof Give This Bungalow Its Quiet Authority
Clean white render sits above a coursed stone base that grounds the whole facade, while floor-to-ceiling glazing along the rear wall lets the interior read almost as a continuation of the lawn. The dark roof pitch is low and wide. It works without trying.
Red Stools Against Dark Honed Countertops Do a Lot of Heavy Lifting Here
The island sink sits noticeably off-center, which leaves actual room for the fruit bowl and wine setup rather than crowding everything toward one end. Red barstools against white cabinetry earn the contrast — not forced, just confident.
Gray Upholstery and Warm Wood Frames Pull This Open Plan Together Without Trying Too Hard
Mid-century wood frames on the sofas and armchairs keep the gray upholstery from reading cold — a detail that matters more than it sounds in a room this open. The coffee table’s slatted lower shelf adds visual breathing room without cluttering the floor. Pendant cage lights over the kitchen island anchor the back half of the space, marking the shift from living to cooking without a wall to do it for them.
Try This: Pair gray upholstery with wood-framed furniture rather than fully upholstered pieces. The exposed frame breaks up the visual weight and keeps a neutral palette from going flat — particularly useful in a large open-plan space where there’s nowhere to hide a boring sofa.
Barn Door, Framed Street View, and Lamps That Actually Belong in This Room
Warm wood nightstands, a low upholstered bed, and a barn door keep the bedroom grounded without feeling staged. Nothing in here is fighting for attention.
History Corner: Barn-style interior sliding doors were a practical fixture in early 20th-century American farmhouses, where a door that swings clear simply wasn’t an option in tight corridors. They fell out of favor by mid-century, then came roaring back in the 2010s as part of a broader taste for industrial-rustic interiors. Most versions today use metal hardware and hollow-core doors — they nail the look, though the original utility is largely beside the point now.
Pin It
The top half shows a contemporary exterior rendering with wood-panel gable, floor-to-ceiling glass, and stone base. Below it, the floor plan lays out a 2-bedroom, 2-bath layout with an office, open living and dining, covered patio, and 2-car garage across roughly 55 by 60 feet.
Designer’s Secret: Borrow from this plan’s foyer-to-living transition: a compact entry with a closet that filters traffic before it reaches the main living space. Guests don’t walk directly into your furniture arrangement, and you get a few feet of buffer that the floor plan doesn’t even make a big deal of. Small rooms do quiet work.
