House Design 5 is one that builds upon some of the original ideas from the last two designs, but starts with a new platform all together. This house is essentially a one storey building, with attached garage that features a loft above the garage area. This enables a cool multistructure design, while still being connected.

The photo below shows the main floor layout, and exterior landscaping. Like the homes before, this house is also built on a concrete slab, no basement.

The photo below shows the upper loft area over the garage.

This photo shows the main living space, when you walk in through the front door you are immediately in the living room and kitchen area. This part of the design bothers me, but I couldnt find an ideal solution to make the areas appear more separate. However, this isnt a final design and only a concept rendering, in the next version I will deal with that issue.
