The layout is based on the decision to divide the house into 2 parts. One is for airbnb rentals and the other is for permanent residence. Sections of the house are united by one door, which can be opened if people plan to live together. In the usual format, each section has its own garden with its own exits, as well as separate sanitary units and laundries. The property has a 2-car garage (330 sq. ft.) with a Tesla charger. There is also a temporary 3 parking without a canopy (temporary). Between the garage and the house there is a storage room for outdoor equipment. The layout is flexible and lends itself to permutation of furniture, and the main unit has access to the summer kitchen. The windows of the terrace can be closed in case of strong winds or cold weather, but in summer they provide access to the garden with a swimming pool.
The site itself can be fenced off from the roadway or make a flower bed near the main entrance.
The house is lined with wooden planks and seam roofing; due to the principle of its installation, there is a low probability of its failure in strong winds.
The structural solution is a single-pitched solid frame with structural sheathing and hurricane strapping.
Steel frame houses are becoming more common these days. These houses are actually built in a similar way to timber frame houses. Frame walls are used as load-bearing walls of the house, although the detailing is different and such houses are more expensive. Therefore, they settled on a wooden frame with structural sheathing and hurricane strapping.
The house also has impact-resistant windows that can be closed with storm shutters. We made them according to the design of the house, so that an important element of protection fits into the design. If you do not want to install impact-resistant windows, then storm shutters will suffice for ordinary windows.
