Doubt it. " Bungalow homes stand one- to one-and-a-half stories tall with inviting front porches shaded by roof overhangs held up by visible beams and rafters."
Most often they fail the "inviting front porch" test.

I think what you're describing is a craftsman house
ive been to the Netherlands a few years ago and also went to the "openlucht museum" where there were a bunch of different but similar farm houses. id love to live in one of those here in New Zealand.
this. Stone colonial. That one in your picture is a doozy, nice large format stone and definitely looks like granite. I'm partial to marble and darker igneous rocks myself, even if granite is tougher. Some sedimentary rocks are awesome too. Stone itself can be the art. There needs to be a good insulation solution though for stone homes. Sometimes i think about a perlite plaster applied in many many layers?
I'm surprised stone hasn't gotten more popular with new cheap waterjets. Just square off the heights and it would make assembly easier (I imagine).
I'd insulate with rockwool then put up walls.
>in NH
You couldn't have picked a worse place to live, except maybe Jersey
NH isn't that bad come on now.

are the two of you high? NH is the most based of the NE states. I know the competition isn't stiff, but no state income tax, lax gun laws, live and let live mentality and a lack of nanny state laws all capped with a small population. I know portsmouth is gay as frick, but so are all cities. NY, CT, MA are infinitely gayer than NH
>new cheap waterjets.
yea what kind of costs are we talking and what kind of capabilities? You can use water jets to cut through slabs, but can you use it to cut dimension stone like 8" thick? I thought they used primarily diamond chain cutters to make those big through cuts? I think there are plenty of quarries that are situated to do dimension stone but they are few and far between and the stone has to have specific qualities. Shipping it is the big cost. Finding a piece of property with a quarry nearby or even better, stone on the property, preferably something with nice square cleavages and a cement plant nearby too..
Stone is expensive and labor intensive. Even a real stone veneer is going to be high dollar. Know a cat who just built a 3500sqft house and it ran him 125k for siding using a veneer of real stone.
>There needs to be a good insulation solution though for stone homes.
Choose a type of stone which is porous so it can 'breath' and trap air and have the walls 40-50cm thick, the thickness is key.
Roof is cheap shit, no window decorations (functioning shutters, specifics depending on climate), the windows are lame, and the design of the house is lame and asymmetrical but otherwise it's good.
Instead of a L shaped house, make it a square or rectangle. Add shutters, 2nd and 3rd floor windows that open out, slate or some sort of stylized roof, larger stone lintel over the doors, and you're set.
I would also build a 2 or 3 foot retaining wall around the yard, so the yard sits higher up off the ground than the surrounding area, and plant a hedge there.

not quite, folks tend to be simpler, smaller and less ornate.
As much as I like full blown victorians, the size, complexity and maintenance that would need to go into one is more than I'm willing or likely even able to handle. A folk is a nice compromise of traditional architecture and pragmatism.
I'm saving hundreds every paycheck, devoting around 20hrs/week on a side hustle that can make me location independent, all to get ready to buy a plot of land in NH once the market shits out and people start dumping properties. I'm really going for it boys

already have one, completely liveable now, but needs alot more updating, HVAC mainly then landscaping and removing 10 years of empty.

Listen anon, no matter how hard you try, you're not going to make me pro-immigration, okay?
Pozzed-Hampshire is going to go down the tubes so fast it will make your head spin. All the ingredients are there. I lived in a late 19th century Victorian in NH up until recently and the weather is hard on houses. Once all the things that have kept NH so nice to live in (read: demographics) are gone, it will just be a shitty, cold, dark and dreary place to live.
They don't have the same curb appeal as many other kinds of houses but God damn I love ranch style homes. The interiors are so spacious and comfortable. When I visit areas that have cottage type houses, I practically get claustrophobic like I can't breathe they're so crowded and suffocating with shitty layouts and small rooms, there's no natural line of movement flowing through them.
In a ranch style home the living room usually flows naturally into the kitchen or into a den area, or entryway and out to the patio it's all kind of harmonizing together. Awesome for having guests and easy for home theater or dinners, etc. Just awesome. The idea that you couldn't see the kitchen from the living room or the patio, like many homes in the east, is absolutely vile to me.
Another thing is that the bedrooms are usually very spacious. I've been in so many non ranch style houses where the bed takes up like 60% of a room. Add a dresser and you barely have any floor space left just a little foot path to get to the bed. that's not the case with a ranch style home, I could do cartwheels in any of the bedrooms with room to spare. I could have a small home gym in there without feeling crowded. I and turn the extra floor space into a small office if I wanted.
Ranch style is also one of the cheapest housing types. Don't understand how all you cavemen live in these expensive, cramped ass houses.

My personal favorite is a split-level or raised ranch. I don't think there is a more comfy setup.
All the benefits of a ranch's wide footprint, with few steps between living areas, a comfy perched bedroom position, basement nestled partially into the ground
>attached garages are stupid, right guys? >hold on real quick I forgot something from my car let me go trudge through the snow in order to access my vehicle
1. there is a reason they didn't make the first floor level with the garage after like 1975
2. in my area a simple covered walkway is necessary to make the garage part of the area you can castle defend. In other words, without a flimsy covered walk any can take reparations at will from your garage and even if you are in there you cannot hand cannon them.
This. Everyone knows the attached garage is your machine shop and the big shop out back is where you do the welding and fab work, and other automotive stuff. And then the lean-to on the big shop is for parking your stuff under.
Blurry as hell pic rel is my house. 2 story, 4 bed, 3 bath, with a walk out basement in the back. 2 car garage in the walk out basement as well. And a 40x60 shop with a 30x60 lean to in the back yard...
Nah it's stick built. Like I said walkout basement on the back side. That is just a blurry pic of the front... Only pic I actually have on my phone or computer that even shows my house... I don't try to make my dwelling the subject of pictures.
Ok then. Its a two story from the back side and single story from the front. built into the side of a small hill of mounded up dirt.... Whatever the frick you want to call it.

It identifies as a home, not a ranch you frickstick.
That depends on whether or not I'm talking to some pretentious coastalgay that is assmad he can't afford a nice section of land with a big ol shop(s) on it or not...
Maybe you've never seen a development with 100 of the same damn house just slightly rearranged a bit here and there, but mcmansions do exist. Lots of unnecessary fake gables on the front, and useless roof changes are a sure sign.
You can usually tell fresh McMansions because their cookie cutter landscaping hasn't had a chance to grow in and the plants are the same size as they were back at the Home Depot.
Fake stone facade on the outside is a dead giveaway. If you ever tour the insides it's just the house home depot built. Lot of cheap lowest bidder shit and the c**ts will try to sell it for 300 a square foot.

You get those weird rooflines because they don't have an actual architect actually plan it out, either, it's basically just "we want 7 bedrooms, three living rooms, two dining rooms, a movie room, a gift wrapping room..."
There's an entire blog dedicated to an architect analyzing the baffling design decision and chaotic scattershot with poor quality construction that typifies McMansions.

Saw something I really liked while looking recently here. Take bottom pic, move the garage to the other side at ground with no second story above it, and where the garage is in this pic is a walk-out great room with a nice stone patio out front.

tbh if it were better kept the thing would still look ok. Even scrubbing the concrete once every three years would be enough to keep it clean.
What Brutalist architecture really fricked up is the window area. In most cases it makes it look like an actual bunker with its primarily "slitted" windows. Sure those like in the pic will never get rain on them but it still looks awful.
Also 20% less glass surface would serve it well for insulation an comfyness.
Smoothed concrete finish is to be preffered instead of those gravel lined panels they did back then. They just attract algae in general.
If I were to buy that a cleaning followed by 70ies and 80ies inspired exterior painting would follow. Simple geometric lines in not too saturated colours to make it look like it came straight out of a electronics catalog from those decades.
Another thing to be said is that the actually well built and designed Commieblocks are quite nice. There are quite a lot of renovated ones in former East-Berlin.
This is in France? Wtf I thought brutalism was sovietic…
I'm mixed about brutalism. I love a traditional rock and wood house in the countryside and hate towns, concrete, I fled my suburb to live there, but in the same time I like the pictures of (some) brutalist architecture. It's like bizarre creations pulled up from sci-fi shit or something. I certainly wouldn't want one hiding the landscape from my window but some sure are charming.
Pinterest is a nice source of ressources for brutalist architecture.
>This is in France?
Which, that? Probably. The one I posted? Lmao no. Serbia. The owner of one half is in jail for shooting his wife 9 times for cheating. >Wtf I thought brutalism was sovietic…
Commies just loved it because it was cheap. Yugoslavia was never soviet either.
>The french Renault Kangoo car misled me.
What, you don't think we fricking drive French cars? A lot actually do, cause they're cheap and have an at this point total meme reputation for ride comfort, this was only ever true for Citroen with the hydropneumatic suspension that doesn't exist anymore.
But the French did have their fair share of brutalist buildings, as did the UK, fricking garbage they had.
the French always loved brutalism, as its a socialist pov on architecture, and they've been (at least pseudo-)socialist ever since Napoleon did a Hitler all over Europe.
Great looking house, but looks a bit small.
Dunno the layout but I'd build it out a bit if my budget allowed for it.
Add a large living/family room, above it the master bedroom (obviously behind and enhanced with the white decor not without it), and plant berries in front of the home. White picket fencing with some low bushes.
ones a one way other is a relatively busy road during school days if you live in town, the church across street can get annoying at around 6PM with its bells Basement garage is shit and only use is storing shit, luckily the house is on the high part of town so it doesn't flood when it pours.

Nta but I'd personally love having more stairs in my life, obviously once I get old I'd gtfo, but for the next 40 years I'd have fun running up them as fast as I can every time (I do this in my current house too but its just one flight of stairs)

People who live with stairs live longer. IT promotes better heart health. Obviously there's a point where everyone's gotta call it quits, but I choose stairs as passive exercise; they can also often look pretty.

In the beginning steps of building myself a house now. Purchased the lot a few months ago, and I'm about 75% through the process of designing the house. Just have to iron out the little details, put together a set of permit plans, and get a permit.
>Can you show me an example with soul?
any of the unironic posts in this thread like the dutch farm, 1877 granite house, and folk victorian, and thats just the first few posts.
That guys house is squat, boxy, neutral colored, with a focal point garage and after thought decorative gables. It's a cookie cutter home thats been built a million times over in the past 25yrs. It doesn't look good because it ignores all rules to make something look visually appealing. These only exist because they're cheaper, the homeowner doesnt have any idea what a nice house looks like, and everyone else is doing it. Soulless
Single story, mid century brick (or stone) rambler with a basement, preferably on 5+ acres and with a detached garage that I can use as a workshop. Not very exciting, I'm sure, but I'm a simple man with simple needs.

Then the fun starts.
The bathrooms on the second floor should be built on external walls. First of all you need to vent them and this design is expensive because you have them stacked. Secondly, you or whoever owns this house after you will have lots of fights over who gets the bathroom with the window. Change the floor plan of the bedrooms accordingly. Also, I really have to ask if the second story deck is worth the expense and added headache of the roof joint
Very well done. I agreed with a lot of the changes but didn't register the additional change of moving the master bedroom door which I think was the best modification.
A number of those things I was already planning on. Detailing kitchen layout, the cabs/counters in the garage, fixing up the entry to the smaller bedrooms, living room fireplace...
It still had the closet, you're just moving the door to the "hallway" wall so it doesn't obliterate your wall options for the bedroom
I'd rather not have the door to my master bedroom open facing right into a wall or the closet. It also want the lounge area to feel open and walling in that area does the opposite.

>Master bath overlooking the front yard

Eh... it's on the 2nd floor, and I'd most likely have some blinds in the windows there. Bathroom's on the front in my current place and I've never had any problems. If my neighbors get a free peepshow every now and then doesn't bother me any.
I don't know shit about houses and designing them like is doing. Where do I start? A forum or get a dummies book?
Not really sure. I do this kind of thing for a living, took some courses at the local community college for basic architectural drafting/design, construction methods, CAD, etc. about 10 years ago and have been doing design work for a residential construction company. However I doubt paying money and going to classes is something you'd want to do if you're just looking to dabble in it. So yeah... in that case I'm not really sure where one would start.
Not sure how you inferred what the siding material is from a rendering. The siding in those pics could be one of a number of different materials. Wood, vinyl, fiber-cement, aluminum...
>Dining is too small for number of bedrooms.

https://codes.iccsafe.org/content/IPMC2024P1/chapter-4-light-ventilation-and-occupancy-limitations#IPMC2024P1_Ch04_Sec404.5
Im not that anon, but it is kinda small in terms of comfort rather than in terms of code compliancy.
The code also says that a bedroom can be 70 square feet with a ceiling height of 7 feet (and half the ceiling can be only 5 feet+), but that would be a miserable way to live
Ultimately, it's your house and if it's going to be comfortable for your family then who GAF what anyone else thinks
>Very closed cell design. Need to talk to someone across the house? Lots of shouting or get up and go get them. This even goes for the same floor.
It's not a large house, "across the house" is only like 20-25 feet. Plus the main living area (living/dining/kitchen) is for the most part one large room in a slight L-shape. Only the rooms I would really want separated/private are, like the bedrooms, the bathrooms, and the mudroom. Everything else is pretty much open.
>Dining is too small for number of bedrooms. Proportions are off.
It's a 6 person table for a 3 bedroom house, and there's adequate clearance on all sides. It's fine. Worst case scenario I rotate the table 90 degrees and then there's even more clearance.
>Couch against window in front, nobody likes sitting wit their back to open space.
You assume that your preferences are how everyone feels, but you are wrong. It's a great way to bring light into a room without sacrificing seating area, and it's a rather common thing to see.
>Hallways are wasted space.
It's only wasted if the space it's taking is needed somewhere else. All the rooms are big enough for what I need so I don't see it as such.
>Plumbing for master goes through garage, potential pipe freezing.
My garage isn't just a place to store cars, it's a work space, and since I don't like working in a cold garage it will have its own dedicated heating system. That heater will be set with a minimum safety temperature of maybe 45F at the lowest, so no pipes running through the garage ceiling would be in risk of freezing.
>Screen porches suck balls. Any weather with too many bugs isn't pleasant to sit in anyway.
I disagree.
What type of glass you use in bathroom window? Plain or textured glass, to blur the image and prevent others from seeing who is in the bathroom? I don't know what it's called.
Another thing, how do I use the green font and quote a text posted here?
No, to orient them hat way, each bathroom would need to be at least 5.5' wide, even if using a bare minimum tub or shower depth of 30", so I'd have to give up at least 15" out of each bedroom. The chimney also causes some problems for window & toilet clearances.
However even if this weren't the case, I wouldn't want to lay the bathrooms out that way. I've been in a couple of bathrooms with that long & narrow layout where everything is against 1 wall and I'm really not a fan of it.
It makes sense. I didn't see the chimney, I used an image before this one. Are chimneys lined internally with refractory bricks? Even so, I believe that they can expand and cause problems with the window frames.

Your kids can share 1 bathroom.
Make more space in the laundry room for folding clothes.
Open up the kitchen to the dining room.
First floor poop rooms are easier to vent next to an external wall.

Nobody is ever gonna use that lounge, delete the utility to make a bigger room.
Do not open the kitchen, sometimes you want the smells of the kitchen to not spread.
Don't you burguers use driers that need pipes to the outside? And you wanna put it in the middle of the second floor?
Yeah, looking at 12 feet and change if you have a straight shot or take it straight up. Not sure what current code reqs are for length but with these new fangled dryers less is more. Almost every new construction house I'm in has laundry at an exterior wall these days and I go in a frick load of houses since I'm an evil tax appraiser.

It seems to be that a guy who worked in a Soviet commieblock panel factory "borrowed" a few... Entire panels. That's how it went here, though I wonder how he stole whole ass panels.
Nah,it was commie idea to build cheap housing for state collective farm workers in rural areas. They literally build smol prefab blocks in villages,fricking hideous
Very common case in the eastern block.
There is even a joke that goes something like this:
A guy works in a washing machine factory, but his clothes are always dirty.
A friend asks he why he doesn't have a washing machine himself he responds with that he cant afford it.
So his friend suggest he "borrow" some parts from work and put together a washing machine for himself.
Several months pass, and the friends meet up again and his clothes are still as dirty as ever.
The friend asks the guy if he's tried to put together his washing machine.
The guys says he's tried four times so far.
He would collect the parts form the factory he works in, and bring them home over the course of a month. But every time he tries to assemble them it ends up a Kalashnikov...
I know about one of those, that was made as technology demonstrator for prefab elements meant for commie blocks. They would use the same elements as for big 10+ story apartament buildings to evaluate ideas and as a show-off to potential investors. That one is destroyed but people used to live in them.
>made as technology demonstrator for prefab elements meant for commie blocks
That's interesting. I thought people built them out of panels they took.
Our own prefab commieblock system didn't use panels and there was like one case of row houses being built out of it, that's pic related.

is a photo from Poland.
In Poland, during the socialistic period (we never had communism; communism was the ultimate goal that was to be reached in future by a socialistic society) upon building a new residential area, full of apartment blocks, a rudimentary factory of prefab blocks was made.
That is, first wooden moulds were created. Then, iron reinforcements were put inside, concrete was poured, and then vibrations were applied to the whole thing for the time it took to prepare the next one.
Once the prefab was solid enough, it was put aside for at least two weeks.
Those makeshift facilities reduced prefab transport problems, and allowed for fast ramp-up in mass production. Also, the prefabs were not following any particular design - architects and workers in each area make their own shapes and each of the considered one's own superior.
Those apartment blocks were said to last for 50-70 years, now, after those 50 years, experts concluded that they'll last much more. At least in locations where people stole less cement than required to weaken the material. (You could not buy cement or concrete as an individual, so the only way to get any was to give bottle(s) of vodka to workers, and they pretended they didn't see you take what you need).
Pic are some abandoned prefabs deteriorating on a random polish field...
And this is a sample prefab factory...

At this point, if I could find one with 2-3 bedrooms, a two-car garage, and isn't completely fricked requiring another $50K+ of work before I can move in while spending about the same as I do on rent now I really don't care what style it is.
In my perfect fantasy world? A big A frame cabin like the lego set. Nice property up in the Rockies in Colorado. Would have to get a Starlink connection but I think I could swing it.
Trouble is with interest rates being what they are and with how popular the area is you're looking at 600k MINIMUM for empty lots. Forget about places with confirmed water sources or pipe connections.
Based A Frame enjoyers rise up. Sadly in post world war 2 America labor and lumber was cheaper and building codes far more lax. While it's a wonderful design and if you can build it on a nice chunk of land even better. You will get your shit pushed in on lumber costs and the engineering for the roof in snowy areas will have to take that into account. Also in real life the walls of an A frame are wonky because they're obviously sloped so you loose a lot of square footage and can't hang shit.
I don't care what it looks like on the outside. All I care about is it being comfy and clean on the inside and being impregnatable so scum can't break in.

dont share bathroom walls with eating areas. every morning before school I'd be eating my cereal while directly behind me my dad would be making elephant calls with his ass.
>design 2
I personally dont like entry ways that open directly into living spaces, even tho my house is like that and its very common, if I were designing my own home that wouldn't be the case.
Both designs are simple boxes. 1 is very wide tho, and I don't see any stairs so it looks like your house is gonna have a big ugly forehead on it when the roof is taken into consideration. Mock it up in 3D with anywhere between 5 and 8 pitch and youll see what I mean. Because of that I'd say 2 is current winner but I'd redraw so that front door opens up into a vestibule/foyer or hallway and design around that.
>dont share bathroom walls with eating areas.
I could make it a double-thickness wall to reduce the sound transmission.
>[Design] 1 is very wide tho, and I don't see any stairs so it looks like your house is gonna have a big ugly forehead on it when the roof is taken into consideration.
Wouldn't a hipped roof fix that?

from 5 head to mushroom chode. Neither are 'wrong' but I don't find either visually appealing, but you can do w/e you want. Is there any particular style you like or are trying to emulate? Or is the dream to just have a small home you designed yourself?

well I'm gonna recommend either finding a style you like and going after that, or a general understanding of architectural types so you blend as you want. It's a lofty goal to design and build your own home, and if you achieve it, you get to spend 12+hrs a day there until you move or die. The satisfaction of your plans coming to fruition is real, but for longevity enjoyment, you're gonna want to love every sqft of that place, inside and out. Aim higher and go deeper

In my perfect fantasy world? A big A frame cabin like the lego set. Nice property up in the Rockies in Colorado. Would have to get a Starlink connection but I think I could swing it.
Trouble is with interest rates being what they are and with how popular the area is you're looking at 600k MINIMUM for empty lots. Forget about places with confirmed water sources or pipe connections.
There's no point in "owning" a house because:
1. property taxes only go up.
2. property values only go up.
3. imported foreign scab laborers and/or Democrat voting blocs will always vote for higher taxes, it's free money from ypipo.
The ideal home is probably a sailboat, a vast array of white and blue collar skills, language skills, and inherent hostility to those not like you.
... but now that I think about it, camouflaging/armoring yourself and your property with protective legal abstractions may help too. Set up a corporation to own your home, set up a fake charity to to run it, and live on site as a manager/caretaker of sorts.
tbh at this point it may be cheaper and less work to secede from the federal government.
>Set up a corporation to own your home, set up a fake charity to to run it, and live on site as a manager/caretaker of sorts.
"fraud" is a neither camo nor armor. It's a large target on your back saying "ME ME ME LOOKIT ME"
I know a GC who, out of an abundance of caution, put all vehicles, property etc in various LLC's. Yes, an LLC is a legit corporation. Same as a juristic person. Either one can own things, but the former implies your acknowledgment of the natural truth, that you, the living man, can not own anything.
You can possess it, and that's different. You can use it, and if asked, see if anyone needs it more than you (has an adversarial claim).
This relates to the phrase 'indian giver'. Agriculture brought in the idea of ownership. It didn't exist for hunter-gatherers. If your indian friend made you a nice knife, and you set it on the mantle of your fireplace, instead of using it, don't be surprised if it goes missing one day. Your indian friend gave it to you to use, not to look at. This is also why less-developed people will just take stuff laying around. They don't see ownership.
The GC's wife was naive and didn't realize how good she had it. Someone convinced her to divorce, later: She got nothing, and exists in government housing on food stamps. He owned nothing, so there was nothing to split. He was merely the local manager. This works better than a prenup, and better still when there is no State marriage contract (regardless of whether there were children).
I'm trying to put some wisdom in your younger and smoother anonbrains.
Orthodox jws declare their home a 'Place of Worship'. Mennonites rotate between member's houses, when the religious services are held; I don't know if they know that 'one trick', but I assume-so. Some communities have everything owned by the church, which would make the whole thing a place of worship. Tip: Affects property taxes.
This sounds a lot like the "you don't need a driver's license to travel on the road" drivel. Sounds good to the ignorant until it's put to the test against the law.
Businesses you own are definitely factored into your wealth for the purposes of taxes and divorce proceedings.
Only their assets if they are unprofitable, I think. The compartmentalization makes divorce more expensive, time consuming, and difficult. Wifey runs out money, her lolyer loses interest in an easy payoff that's not coming.
Think of these things are fortified positions from which you attrit enemy resources before retreating to the next fortress, not as invulnerable bastions.
That's exactly what happened, anon. > fortified positions
He had arbitration clauses in his GC contracts which took the brunt of issues. And, he had set up the LLC's while he was a GC, not anything due to an angle of an impending divorce.

A well-accounted business doesn't have a profit. Income - expense = 0. See the wisdom of anon9184.

It was. I lived w him and his several children, as a ranch hand for several months. She didn't get them, either. He was poor enough, on paper, to get food stamps if he wanted.
Interesting that food stamp questionnaires ask about trust income, but not LLC operations. And if it's a private trust, idk how they would know anyway, unless you self-reported. He got paid a small stipend, but in contrast to how many mouths he had to feed, on paper again, he looked like a poorgay. Plus, they don't ask you how many chickens or goats you have.
I had, one time, mentioned that food stamps can buy seeds and starter plants, something he didn't know. He didn't believe in any kind of direct food hand-out though.

They and the SS office have some back end thing that checks for existing bank accounts. I assume it's a credit report.
>I had, one time, mentioned that food stamps can buy seeds and starter plants, something he didn't know. He didn't believe in any kind of direct food hand-out though.
That's wise of him, getting the state involved when you have kids they can sell to adoption agencies isn't worth a few thousand dollars in handouts. That's what CPS does in California. They'll steal your kids and let gays buy them, but gays only want to buy White kids.
It would have to be in the PERSON's name though. The LLC etc is a separate legal entity. I'm not wizbang at accounting, but you can have beneficial shareholders hidden so well (for general privacy from the public) that no one will find out. Unless you're Paul Wheaton - Woodland Range LLC. People find out, because you're such a tremendous corporate elitist douchbag to your neighbors, and property ownership is public info.
>Only their assets if they are unprofitable, I think.
To clarify, if there are no profits from a business then only the assets owned by the business matter.

Yep. Divorce is basically like a battle in a video game. Only instead of setting up your squad of warriors and mages like in Final Fantasy Tactics, you set up legal entities and clauses to delay, deny an easy payout, and wait for the lawyers to lose interest and for wifey to run out of money.
Getting actual killshots doesn't occur often in the US legal system, so people aim to bleed enemy resources until they give up or go bankrupt. After that, their lawyer fights them in bankruptcy court, where he always wins.
The metagame is attrition of resources because the US legal system exists to ensure job security for lawyers and bureaucrats. They win either in divorce court or in bankruptcy court.
>He had arbitration clauses in his GC contracts which took the brunt of issues. And, he had set up the LLC's while he was a GC, not anything due to an angle of an impending divorce.
Based. Arbitration is sacred because it is a jobs program for lawyers, a divorce judge would be a fool to attack it. It adds delays, and time is money.
Being proactive and setting it up years in advance as a precaution is high IQ.

It'd be interesting to see what a mess the design of the inside is, this is full-on McMansion.
I lived in a gnarly one of these for years on 9 acres. I'll never forget the look on my soon to be inlaws face when they showed up.
My 60'x40' pole barn sits where the trailer was now, and I built a large walk out ranch that is better in every way than the mcmansion they have in the fricking burbs.
Feelsgoodman
I dream of building a queen Anna with big turret on the side and a second floor balcony directly over the front door with white cedar clapboard and dark purple trim up by lake winnipesaukee, but I'd settle for a 70s single wide these days.
I'd like to refurbish some small warehouse. Large unheated ground floor open space serving as a garage, gym, kitchen, workshop, dog house and parrot aviariy area with lots of plants. Heated mezzanine bedrooms with retractable ladder leading to them and no windows for max home intrusion safety. Wouldn't even cost that much.
How does one go about actually creating buildable house plans?
In my job as a civil (roadway) engineer, I have drawn up literally hundreds of plan sheets in accordance with the comprehensive CAD standards and sample plans published by my employer, a state department of transportation. Are any analogous authoritative standards available for house plans? Or do you just have to find some random non-authoritative plan and copy its symbology as far as possible?
I believe that modern architecture can look good when in isolation and surrounded my nature, the problem is when it tries to interact with other structures as architects can be quite selfish.
If I live in a humid area then:
If I live in an arid area then I will go with a modern arab/spanish concept surrounded by rock features, can't have as manny plants because a bush fire would engulf the house, meaning all (local) greenery would have to be planted in islands surrounded by masonry or sand, wind towers and other hot-dry specific measures of passive climate control would also be included.
Either way, I also want a bio-pool in order recycle a portion of my waste water, feed water features and water my plants, plus a reservoir. A large gardening area too. I would prioritize the view from the human level, not aerial views nor the entire façade, I know a big part of R E T U R N is to have nice façades, but the building will be obscured by plants, rocks and the terrain itself, you will never see the whole thing at once, I will concentrate in nice surfaces and "framing" the view. I also have this stupid idea of having a bathroom mile picrel, I want FBI's satellites to see me jerking off in the shower.
I will later figure out how to deal with mosquitoes, maybe illegally introducing frogs and dragonflies, I want to also raise chickens, maybe they can help with something
Absolutely based. Just about to come into European citizenship and am starting to look into long term plans for when my kids are older. So much variation in climate and the more Arid climates have their appeal in terms of not needing to heat/general cost, but the risk of fires and availabiliy of water always spooks me a bit.
You can look into Earthships, the biggest and most famous settlement is in a desert, so there is a lot on how to design for arid areas, I would not use trash, instead I would use adobe and similar materials if the local dirt is high in clay. Also look into the local traditional designs and materials, the accumulated knowledge of generations of shit farmers has more value than all of modernist architecture. But also do not be afraid of using new techniques, traditional architecture got so good by generations of trial and error and choosing the best answer for the context, if you find a better way of doing something you should absolutely try it, be them from modernity or other culture's traditions.
As of water, you should always Reduce->Reuse->Recycle, in that order. There are also manny answers for low-water living in cultures al around the world.
i thought atrium house was the best? im curious thou how do you prevent flooding in the middle garden area? french drains ? it would make sense to redirect the rain that goes into the middle towards a cistern
1 on-suite bathroom solely for the bedroom. Often referred to as a "master bathroom".
1 bathroom that services the communal living areas. A lot of times it would be a "powder room" or "half bath" that only has a toilet and a sink.
It's not odd to want a separate half bath for company to use so they're not using your personal bathroom. What is odd however, is having a house that's only got 1 bedroom in it.
I read all of the "Little House on the Prairie" series at a really impressionable age and wanted to live in a sod house for a while. Once I got older and got my mitts on Lord of the Rings of course I thought the Hobbit houses were cool too, like they're both basically earth sheltered homes, the latter is just a little more sophisticated. I think it'd be cool as hell and you could build a bunker deep into the back if you had enough resources, idk I just think it would be neat (and I could probably do at least some of it myself)
Unironically something like picrel
Those car shop from the previous century with a full size big workshop and a habitable house/apartment attached to it, while having the confort of being close to urban area.
But it's surprisingly rare, since nowadays the apartments are completely detached from the workshop and the commercial-able area already taken for business
Imagine having your full first floor dedicated to your workshop and hobbies
Unironically my dream house
Sadly I'm a poorgay so I'll be a rentcuck all my life
My favorite house was a 70s tri level, you're out of the bunker style of the 50s and 60s but not into the toothpick and veneer of the 80s (which seem pretty solid tbh considering everything after).
The 2nd best was a rental that has a garage tall enough for my RV.
The worst was a raised ranch with the kitchen on the 2nd floor, s.t. everything had to be run up the stairs or driven up the back. That shit got hella old. That house did have one of my favorite features tho, and one on a house I missed getting: shittons of oddly shaped rooms.
Currently I share an open office in the entryway with two other people and have zero studio space. My dream is a 6+ bedroom sprawling mcmansion with a finished basement and even more rooms.
Between that and this I'd love to hit the road in a class A RV an full time with my family. I'd have to ditch the wife however, she would absolutely die not having a house at any point.
geodesic dome >super cheap and easy to DIY >also cheap to maintain. stays cozy in all climates. >huge, roomy living space with high ceiling and no space wasted on stairs or hallways >you can connect multiple domes and larp as a hobbit
they're only "weird" because the whole world has been brainwashed into inefficient boxes made of sticks that crack and leak heat everywhere. The dome is the natural shape of nature. Just look at the planet earth.
One style I'm partial to are these wooden mountain homes, with the large peaked windows overlooking the land, and a second story interior walkway overlooking the great room.
My mother has unironically mentioned how she wishes she could live in a house that's built like a Costco warehouse, with all the wiring and plumbing exposed for easy maintenance. (This is after experiencing electrical problems in her 70-year-old house, and constantly being afraid of frozen pipes in its slab foundation.)
I like the house i have
Its a bungalow
>Its a bungalow
Doubt it. " Bungalow homes stand one- to one-and-a-half stories tall with inviting front porches shaded by roof overhangs held up by visible beams and rafters."
Most often they fail the "inviting front porch" test.
Wrong

Old Dutch farm. Thatched roof is optional. Will make some offers in spring and use summer for repairs and insulation
that looks comfy as frick.
ive been to the Netherlands a few years ago and also went to the "openlucht museum" where there were a bunch of different but similar farm houses. id love to live in one of those here in New Zealand.
Have fun having no cavity wall and moisture problems. Beautiful buildings but anything pre-war is pretty much asking for 200k of renovations.
2 story 4 bed 2 bath and a basement. First floor is very open living space + kitchen and dining area. Built within the last 60 years.
Unfortunately that runs $500k+ in my area
One with structural stone holding up the roof.
this. Stone colonial. That one in your picture is a doozy, nice large format stone and definitely looks like granite. I'm partial to marble and darker igneous rocks myself, even if granite is tougher. Some sedimentary rocks are awesome too. Stone itself can be the art. There needs to be a good insulation solution though for stone homes. Sometimes i think about a perlite plaster applied in many many layers?
I'm surprised stone hasn't gotten more popular with new cheap waterjets. Just square off the heights and it would make assembly easier (I imagine).
I'd insulate with rockwool then put up walls.
NH isn't that bad come on now.
ME is better.
>new cheap waterjets.
yea what kind of costs are we talking and what kind of capabilities? You can use water jets to cut through slabs, but can you use it to cut dimension stone like 8" thick? I thought they used primarily diamond chain cutters to make those big through cuts? I think there are plenty of quarries that are situated to do dimension stone but they are few and far between and the stone has to have specific qualities. Shipping it is the big cost. Finding a piece of property with a quarry nearby or even better, stone on the property, preferably something with nice square cleavages and a cement plant nearby too..
Yeah granite quarries around here but the cement factory is closing RIP
Stone is expensive and labor intensive. Even a real stone veneer is going to be high dollar. Know a cat who just built a 3500sqft house and it ran him 125k for siding using a veneer of real stone.
100% chance that's just styrofoam rocks over a stick frame
absolutely. nobody uses real stone anymore except maybe for finish, but even that's not the case for this cheap house
If you wanted a proper stone one built, how much would that cost?
find farmers that need rocks pulled from field, save em up, build it yourself.
well shit, not right picture
Nice cat
nah you're wrong
>There needs to be a good insulation solution though for stone homes.
Choose a type of stone which is porous so it can 'breath' and trap air and have the walls 40-50cm thick, the thickness is key.
>Costs 4X as much as modern stick-frame to perform worse
>Can't run wiring and plumbing inside the walls
That looks like shit lmfao
Literally a minecraft house designed by a 10 year old
I'd have done a copper roof and better windows but no you're out of your mind.
Roof is cheap shit, no window decorations (functioning shutters, specifics depending on climate), the windows are lame, and the design of the house is lame and asymmetrical but otherwise it's good.
Instead of a L shaped house, make it a square or rectangle. Add shutters, 2nd and 3rd floor windows that open out, slate or some sort of stylized roof, larger stone lintel over the doors, and you're set.
I would also build a 2 or 3 foot retaining wall around the yard, so the yard sits higher up off the ground than the surrounding area, and plant a hedge there.
Open porches are a bad idea if you have diversity, and that color will make it an oven 9 months out of the year.

not quite, folks tend to be simpler, smaller and less ornate.
As much as I like full blown victorians, the size, complexity and maintenance that would need to go into one is more than I'm willing or likely even able to handle. A folk is a nice compromise of traditional architecture and pragmatism.
I'm saving hundreds every paycheck, devoting around 20hrs/week on a side hustle that can make me location independent, all to get ready to buy a plot of land in NH once the market shits out and people start dumping properties. I'm really going for it boys

You couldn't have picked a worse place to live, except maybe Jersey
Or California.
are the two of you high? NH is the most based of the NE states. I know the competition isn't stiff, but no state income tax, lax gun laws, live and let live mentality and a lack of nanny state laws all capped with a small population. I know portsmouth is gay as frick, but so are all cities. NY, CT, MA are infinitely gayer than NH

Pozzed-Hampshire is going to go down the tubes so fast it will make your head spin. All the ingredients are there. I lived in a late 19th century Victorian in NH up until recently and the weather is hard on houses. Once all the things that have kept NH so nice to live in (read: demographics) are gone, it will just be a shitty, cold, dark and dreary place to live.

Solution. Garage attached by tunnel. Now you can have smelly project cars with gas leaks that aren't within the confines of your house
1. there is a reason they didn't make the first floor level with the garage after like 1975
2. in my area a simple covered walkway is necessary to make the garage part of the area you can castle defend. In other words, without a flimsy covered walk any can take reparations at will from your garage and even if you are in there you cannot hand cannon them.
>not having both
Bad taste
>>not having both
This. Everyone knows the attached garage is your machine shop and the big shop out back is where you do the welding and fab work, and other automotive stuff. And then the lean-to on the big shop is for parking your stuff under.
Blurry as hell pic rel is my house. 2 story, 4 bed, 3 bath, with a walk out basement in the back. 2 car garage in the walk out basement as well. And a 40x60 shop with a 30x60 lean to in the back yard...
Looks like a trailer with no garage
Nah it's stick built. Like I said walkout basement on the back side. That is just a blurry pic of the front... Only pic I actually have on my phone or computer that even shows my house... I don't try to make my dwelling the subject of pictures.
Its moronic to call a basement a story
Ok then. Its a two story from the back side and single story from the front. built into the side of a small hill of mounded up dirt.... Whatever the frick you want to call it.
Its a walkout ranch you dumbfricks.
It identifies as a home, not a ranch you frickstick.

Maybe you've never seen a development with 100 of the same damn house just slightly rearranged a bit here and there, but mcmansions do exist. Lots of unnecessary fake gables on the front, and useless roof changes are a sure sign.
You can usually tell fresh McMansions because their cookie cutter landscaping hasn't had a chance to grow in and the plants are the same size as they were back at the Home Depot.
Fake stone facade on the outside is a dead giveaway. If you ever tour the insides it's just the house home depot built. Lot of cheap lowest bidder shit and the c**ts will try to sell it for 300 a square foot.
You get those weird rooflines because they don't have an actual architect actually plan it out, either, it's basically just "we want 7 bedrooms, three living rooms, two dining rooms, a movie room, a gift wrapping room..."
There's an entire blog dedicated to an architect analyzing the baffling design decision and chaotic scattershot with poor quality construction that typifies McMansions.

That's not an attached garage, that's an attached house. The garage is bigger then the living area.
detached garage in a T shape with 3 rollup doors and the middle double deep with a 4th rollup in the back. I have a 3 car now and it's smaller than my last 2 car owning to the overall depth.
They don't have the same curb appeal as many other kinds of houses but God damn I love ranch style homes. The interiors are so spacious and comfortable. When I visit areas that have cottage type houses, I practically get claustrophobic like I can't breathe they're so crowded and suffocating with shitty layouts and small rooms, there's no natural line of movement flowing through them.
In a ranch style home the living room usually flows naturally into the kitchen or into a den area, or entryway and out to the patio it's all kind of harmonizing together. Awesome for having guests and easy for home theater or dinners, etc. Just awesome. The idea that you couldn't see the kitchen from the living room or the patio, like many homes in the east, is absolutely vile to me.
Another thing is that the bedrooms are usually very spacious. I've been in so many non ranch style houses where the bed takes up like 60% of a room. Add a dresser and you barely have any floor space left just a little foot path to get to the bed. that's not the case with a ranch style home, I could do cartwheels in any of the bedrooms with room to spare. I could have a small home gym in there without feeling crowded. I and turn the extra floor space into a small office if I wanted.
Ranch style is also one of the cheapest housing types. Don't understand how all you cavemen live in these expensive, cramped ass houses.
My personal favorite is a split-level or raised ranch. I don't think there is a more comfy setup.
All the benefits of a ranch's wide footprint, with few steps between living areas, a comfy perched bedroom position, basement nestled partially into the ground
bottom looks like aunt/uncle's
not a split level but it looks just like that
its a really nice house
Saw something I really liked while looking recently here. Take bottom pic, move the garage to the other side at ground with no second story above it, and where the garage is in this pic is a walk-out great room with a nice stone patio out front.
I rode past this place back in Sept, and thought "that looks about right for me".
I have always wanted live in a converted building like this but the time has passed in my area almost all of them have been converted into **shudder** low income housing or condos
ultimately ended up a modern ranch, it's extremely comfy and easy to work on
how hard would it be to DIY clean something like this?
Removing the asbestos, lead, and other superfund eligible molecules probably costs several million. Knock down everything, scoop it up, and ship it to hazardous material storage.
Factor in the local ethnic criminals and you will never be safe or break even, let alone profit.
Unless you have some plausibly deniable means to stealth genocide these people, it's a sacrificial zone. Like in Snow Crash.
mmm... brutal..
this
tbh if it were better kept the thing would still look ok. Even scrubbing the concrete once every three years would be enough to keep it clean.
What Brutalist architecture really fricked up is the window area. In most cases it makes it look like an actual bunker with its primarily "slitted" windows. Sure those like in the pic will never get rain on them but it still looks awful.
Also 20% less glass surface would serve it well for insulation an comfyness.
Smoothed concrete finish is to be preffered instead of those gravel lined panels they did back then. They just attract algae in general.
If I were to buy that a cleaning followed by 70ies and 80ies inspired exterior painting would follow. Simple geometric lines in not too saturated colours to make it look like it came straight out of a electronics catalog from those decades.
Another thing to be said is that the actually well built and designed Commieblocks are quite nice. There are quite a lot of renovated ones in former East-Berlin.

This is in France? Wtf I thought brutalism was sovietic…
I'm mixed about brutalism. I love a traditional rock and wood house in the countryside and hate towns, concrete, I fled my suburb to live there, but in the same time I like the pictures of (some) brutalist architecture. It's like bizarre creations pulled up from sci-fi shit or something. I certainly wouldn't want one hiding the landscape from my window but some sure are charming.
Pinterest is a nice source of ressources for brutalist architecture.
>This is in France?
Which, that? Probably. The one I posted? Lmao no. Serbia. The owner of one half is in jail for shooting his wife 9 times for cheating.

What, you don't think we fricking drive French cars? A lot actually do, cause they're cheap and have an at this point total meme reputation for ride comfort, this was only ever true for Citroen with the hydropneumatic suspension that doesn't exist anymore.
But the French did have their fair share of brutalist buildings, as did the UK, fricking garbage they had.
the French always loved brutalism, as its a socialist pov on architecture, and they've been (at least pseudo-)socialist ever since Napoleon did a Hitler all over Europe.

Nice looking house anon.
Great looking house, but looks a bit small.
Dunno the layout but I'd build it out a bit if my budget allowed for it.
Add a large living/family room, above it the master bedroom (obviously behind and enhanced with the white decor not without it), and plant berries in front of the home. White picket fencing with some low bushes.
it's 2400 Sq ft, so not huge but ceilings 13 feet 1st level and 10 2nd, everything is kinda large in proportion making it look small on outside.
Nice house.
Love the windows but hate that it's a corner block

People who live with stairs live longer. IT promotes better heart health. Obviously there's a point where everyone's gotta call it quits, but I choose stairs as passive exercise; they can also often look pretty.

>Can you show me an example with soul?
any of the unironic posts in this thread like the dutch farm, 1877 granite house, and folk victorian, and thats just the first few posts.
That guys house is squat, boxy, neutral colored, with a focal point garage and after thought decorative gables. It's a cookie cutter home thats been built a million times over in the past 25yrs. It doesn't look good because it ignores all rules to make something look visually appealing. These only exist because they're cheaper, the homeowner doesnt have any idea what a nice house looks like, and everyone else is doing it. Soulless
It's the lack of symmetry and the front facing garage. I hate these two things about new houses.
The bathrooms on the second floor should be built on external walls. First of all you need to vent them and this design is expensive because you have them stacked. Secondly, you or whoever owns this house after you will have lots of fights over who gets the bathroom with the window. Change the floor plan of the bedrooms accordingly. Also, I really have to ask if the second story deck is worth the expense and added headache of the roof joint
some comments;
revise and resubmit for record
without a closet, the master bedroom can't technically be called a closet
and it'd be functionally stupid
It still had the closet, you're just moving the door to the "hallway" wall so it doesn't obliterate your wall options for the bedroom
Very well done. I agreed with a lot of the changes but didn't register the additional change of moving the master bedroom door which I think was the best modification.
>without a closet, the master bedroom can't technically be called a closet
False. Try reading the code before posting.
Made some edits and added some missing details.
A number of those things I was already planning on. Detailing kitchen layout, the cabs/counters in the garage, fixing up the entry to the smaller bedrooms, living room fireplace...
I'd rather not have the door to my master bedroom open facing right into a wall or the closet. It also want the lounge area to feel open and walling in that area does the opposite.
>kinda soulless
So am I, so it's rather fitting.
Eh... it's on the 2nd floor, and I'd most likely have some blinds in the windows there. Bathroom's on the front in my current place and I've never had any problems. If my neighbors get a free peepshow every now and then doesn't bother me any.
Not really sure. I do this kind of thing for a living, took some courses at the local community college for basic architectural drafting/design, construction methods, CAD, etc. about 10 years ago and have been doing design work for a residential construction company. However I doubt paying money and going to classes is something you'd want to do if you're just looking to dabble in it. So yeah... in that case I'm not really sure where one would start.

Very closed cell design. Need to talk to someone across the house? Lots of shouting or get up and go get them. This even goes for the same floor.
Dining is too small for number of bedrooms. Proportions are off.
Couch against window in front, nobody likes sitting wit their back to open space.
Hallways are wasted space.
Plumbing for master goes through garage, potential pipe freezing.
Screen porches suck balls. Any weather with too many bugs isn't pleasant to sit in anyway.
Overall good design anon, feels a bit 1985 though.
>Dining is too small for number of bedrooms.
It's 127 square feet. The code says 100 square feet is fine for six people.
https://codes.iccsafe.org/content/IPMC2024P1/chapter-4-light-ventilation-and-occupancy-limitations#IPMC2024P1_Ch04_Sec404.5
Im not that anon, but it is kinda small in terms of comfort rather than in terms of code compliancy.
The code also says that a bedroom can be 70 square feet with a ceiling height of 7 feet (and half the ceiling can be only 5 feet+), but that would be a miserable way to live
Ultimately, it's your house and if it's going to be comfortable for your family then who GAF what anyone else thinks
>Very closed cell design. Need to talk to someone across the house? Lots of shouting or get up and go get them. This even goes for the same floor.
It's not a large house, "across the house" is only like 20-25 feet. Plus the main living area (living/dining/kitchen) is for the most part one large room in a slight L-shape. Only the rooms I would really want separated/private are, like the bedrooms, the bathrooms, and the mudroom. Everything else is pretty much open.
>Dining is too small for number of bedrooms. Proportions are off.
It's a 6 person table for a 3 bedroom house, and there's adequate clearance on all sides. It's fine. Worst case scenario I rotate the table 90 degrees and then there's even more clearance.
>Couch against window in front, nobody likes sitting wit their back to open space.
You assume that your preferences are how everyone feels, but you are wrong. It's a great way to bring light into a room without sacrificing seating area, and it's a rather common thing to see.
>Hallways are wasted space.
It's only wasted if the space it's taking is needed somewhere else. All the rooms are big enough for what I need so I don't see it as such.
>Plumbing for master goes through garage, potential pipe freezing.
My garage isn't just a place to store cars, it's a work space, and since I don't like working in a cold garage it will have its own dedicated heating system. That heater will be set with a minimum safety temperature of maybe 45F at the lowest, so no pipes running through the garage ceiling would be in risk of freezing.
>Screen porches suck balls. Any weather with too many bugs isn't pleasant to sit in anyway.
I disagree.
What type of glass you use in bathroom window? Plain or textured glass, to blur the image and prevent others from seeing who is in the bathroom? I don't know what it's called.
Another thing, how do I use the green font and quote a text posted here?
What program you use to make this? Just Sketchup?
Looks good. Maybe a sliding door in the closet?
Maybe align the two bathrooms, so that they both have a window and forced ventilation is not necessary in one of them. Would it be too tight?
I'd say just put in a shower in those, don't waste space on a tub nobody's ever going to use to take a bath in.
No, to orient them hat way, each bathroom would need to be at least 5.5' wide, even if using a bare minimum tub or shower depth of 30", so I'd have to give up at least 15" out of each bedroom. The chimney also causes some problems for window & toilet clearances.
However even if this weren't the case, I wouldn't want to lay the bathrooms out that way. I've been in a couple of bathrooms with that long & narrow layout where everything is against 1 wall and I'm really not a fan of it.
It makes sense. I didn't see the chimney, I used an image before this one. Are chimneys lined internally with refractory bricks? Even so, I believe that they can expand and cause problems with the window frames.
>Master bath overlooking the front yard
I've been on a few houses like that and always hated the exhibitionist who designed it.

Your kids can share 1 bathroom.
Make more space in the laundry room for folding clothes.
Open up the kitchen to the dining room.
First floor poop rooms are easier to vent next to an external wall.
also, where is the fridge gonna go?
Nobody is ever gonna use that lounge, delete the utility to make a bigger room.
Do not open the kitchen, sometimes you want the smells of the kitchen to not spread.
Don't you burguers use driers that need pipes to the outside? And you wanna put it in the middle of the second floor?
Yeah, looking at 12 feet and change if you have a straight shot or take it straight up. Not sure what current code reqs are for length but with these new fangled dryers less is more. Almost every new construction house I'm in has laundry at an exterior wall these days and I go in a frick load of houses since I'm an evil tax appraiser.

Thinly veiled antisemitic thread.
VGH... SOVL
Unironically i like it. Is it made from prefab?
It seems to be that a guy who worked in a Soviet commieblock panel factory "borrowed" a few... Entire panels. That's how it went here, though I wonder how he stole whole ass panels.
Nah,it was commie idea to build cheap housing for state collective farm workers in rural areas. They literally build smol prefab blocks in villages,fricking hideous
Very common case in the eastern block.
There is even a joke that goes something like this:
A guy works in a washing machine factory, but his clothes are always dirty.
A friend asks he why he doesn't have a washing machine himself he responds with that he cant afford it.
So his friend suggest he "borrow" some parts from work and put together a washing machine for himself.
Several months pass, and the friends meet up again and his clothes are still as dirty as ever.
The friend asks the guy if he's tried to put together his washing machine.
The guys says he's tried four times so far.
He would collect the parts form the factory he works in, and bring them home over the course of a month. But every time he tries to assemble them it ends up a Kalashnikov...
I know about one of those, that was made as technology demonstrator for prefab elements meant for commie blocks. They would use the same elements as for big 10+ story apartament buildings to evaluate ideas and as a show-off to potential investors. That one is destroyed but people used to live in them.
Kinda cute
>made as technology demonstrator for prefab elements meant for commie blocks
That's interesting. I thought people built them out of panels they took.
Our own prefab commieblock system didn't use panels and there was like one case of row houses being built out of it, that's pic related.
Firstly
is a photo from Poland.
In Poland, during the socialistic period (we never had communism; communism was the ultimate goal that was to be reached in future by a socialistic society) upon building a new residential area, full of apartment blocks, a rudimentary factory of prefab blocks was made.
That is, first wooden moulds were created. Then, iron reinforcements were put inside, concrete was poured, and then vibrations were applied to the whole thing for the time it took to prepare the next one.
Once the prefab was solid enough, it was put aside for at least two weeks.
Those makeshift facilities reduced prefab transport problems, and allowed for fast ramp-up in mass production. Also, the prefabs were not following any particular design - architects and workers in each area make their own shapes and each of the considered one's own superior.
Those apartment blocks were said to last for 50-70 years, now, after those 50 years, experts concluded that they'll last much more. At least in locations where people stole less cement than required to weaken the material. (You could not buy cement or concrete as an individual, so the only way to get any was to give bottle(s) of vodka to workers, and they pretended they didn't see you take what you need).
Pic are some abandoned prefabs deteriorating on a random polish field...
And this is a sample prefab factory...

Are you Max Payne?
I don't know. I've always lived in apartments.
At this point, if I could find one with 2-3 bedrooms, a two-car garage, and isn't completely fricked requiring another $50K+ of work before I can move in while spending about the same as I do on rent now I really don't care what style it is.
Based A Frame enjoyers rise up. Sadly in post world war 2 America labor and lumber was cheaper and building codes far more lax. While it's a wonderful design and if you can build it on a nice chunk of land even better. You will get your shit pushed in on lumber costs and the engineering for the roof in snowy areas will have to take that into account. Also in real life the walls of an A frame are wonky because they're obviously sloped so you loose a lot of square footage and can't hang shit.

I don't care what it looks like on the outside. All I care about is it being comfy and clean on the inside and being impregnatable so scum can't break in.

Actually, the front door is on the right side.

>Wouldn't a hipped roof fix that?
from 5 head to mushroom chode. Neither are 'wrong' but I don't find either visually appealing, but you can do w/e you want. Is there any particular style you like or are trying to emulate? Or is the dream to just have a small home you designed yourself?
>no one wants to track the comings and goings of people taking shits during dinner either.
Okay, fine.
>Or is the dream to just have a small home you designed yourself?
This.
well I'm gonna recommend either finding a style you like and going after that, or a general understanding of architectural types so you blend as you want. It's a lofty goal to design and build your own home, and if you achieve it, you get to spend 12+hrs a day there until you move or die. The satisfaction of your plans coming to fruition is real, but for longevity enjoyment, you're gonna want to love every sqft of that place, inside and out. Aim higher and go deeper
>design 1
dont share bathroom walls with eating areas. every morning before school I'd be eating my cereal while directly behind me my dad would be making elephant calls with his ass.
>design 2
I personally dont like entry ways that open directly into living spaces, even tho my house is like that and its very common, if I were designing my own home that wouldn't be the case.
Both designs are simple boxes. 1 is very wide tho, and I don't see any stairs so it looks like your house is gonna have a big ugly forehead on it when the roof is taken into consideration. Mock it up in 3D with anywhere between 5 and 8 pitch and youll see what I mean. Because of that I'd say 2 is current winner but I'd redraw so that front door opens up into a vestibule/foyer or hallway and design around that.
In my perfect fantasy world? A big A frame cabin like the lego set. Nice property up in the Rockies in Colorado. Would have to get a Starlink connection but I think I could swing it.
Trouble is with interest rates being what they are and with how popular the area is you're looking at 600k MINIMUM for empty lots. Forget about places with confirmed water sources or pipe connections.
There's no point in "owning" a house because:
1. property taxes only go up.
2. property values only go up.
3. imported foreign scab laborers and/or Democrat voting blocs will always vote for higher taxes, it's free money from ypipo.
The ideal home is probably a sailboat, a vast array of white and blue collar skills, language skills, and inherent hostility to those not like you.
... but now that I think about it, camouflaging/armoring yourself and your property with protective legal abstractions may help too. Set up a corporation to own your home, set up a fake charity to to run it, and live on site as a manager/caretaker of sorts.
tbh at this point it may be cheaper and less work to secede from the federal government.

Ownership implies liability. e.g. for taxes.
I know a GC who, out of an abundance of caution, put all vehicles, property etc in various LLC's. Yes, an LLC is a legit corporation. Same as a juristic person. Either one can own things, but the former implies your acknowledgment of the natural truth, that you, the living man, can not own anything.
You can possess it, and that's different. You can use it, and if asked, see if anyone needs it more than you (has an adversarial claim).
This relates to the phrase 'indian giver'. Agriculture brought in the idea of ownership. It didn't exist for hunter-gatherers. If your indian friend made you a nice knife, and you set it on the mantle of your fireplace, instead of using it, don't be surprised if it goes missing one day. Your indian friend gave it to you to use, not to look at. This is also why less-developed people will just take stuff laying around. They don't see ownership.
The GC's wife was naive and didn't realize how good she had it. Someone convinced her to divorce, later: She got nothing, and exists in government housing on food stamps. He owned nothing, so there was nothing to split. He was merely the local manager. This works better than a prenup, and better still when there is no State marriage contract (regardless of whether there were children).
I'm trying to put some wisdom in your younger and smoother anonbrains.
Orthodox jws declare their home a 'Place of Worship'. Mennonites rotate between member's houses, when the religious services are held; I don't know if they know that 'one trick', but I assume-so. Some communities have everything owned by the church, which would make the whole thing a place of worship. Tip: Affects property taxes.
>He owned nothing, so there was nothing to split.
But didn't he own the LLCs themselves?
not if you're drawing a salary as an employee of the LLC.
This sounds a lot like the "you don't need a driver's license to travel on the road" drivel. Sounds good to the ignorant until it's put to the test against the law.
Businesses you own are definitely factored into your wealth for the purposes of taxes and divorce proceedings.
Only their assets if they are unprofitable, I think. The compartmentalization makes divorce more expensive, time consuming, and difficult. Wifey runs out money, her lolyer loses interest in an easy payoff that's not coming.
Think of these things are fortified positions from which you attrit enemy resources before retreating to the next fortress, not as invulnerable bastions.
That's exactly what happened, anon.
> fortified positions
He had arbitration clauses in his GC contracts which took the brunt of issues. And, he had set up the LLC's while he was a GC, not anything due to an angle of an impending divorce.
> sounds good to the ignorant
A well-accounted business doesn't have a profit. Income - expense = 0. See the wisdom of anon9184.
> until it's put to the test
It was. I lived w him and his several children, as a ranch hand for several months. She didn't get them, either. He was poor enough, on paper, to get food stamps if he wanted.
Interesting that food stamp questionnaires ask about trust income, but not LLC operations. And if it's a private trust, idk how they would know anyway, unless you self-reported. He got paid a small stipend, but in contrast to how many mouths he had to feed, on paper again, he looked like a poorgay. Plus, they don't ask you how many chickens or goats you have.
I had, one time, mentioned that food stamps can buy seeds and starter plants, something he didn't know. He didn't believe in any kind of direct food hand-out though.

They and the SS office have some back end thing that checks for existing bank accounts. I assume it's a credit report.

That's wise of him, getting the state involved when you have kids they can sell to adoption agencies isn't worth a few thousand dollars in handouts. That's what CPS does in California. They'll steal your kids and let gays buy them, but gays only want to buy White kids.
> bank accounts
It would have to be in the PERSON's name though. The LLC etc is a separate legal entity. I'm not wizbang at accounting, but you can have beneficial shareholders hidden so well (for general privacy from the public) that no one will find out. Unless you're Paul Wheaton - Woodland Range LLC. People find out, because you're such a tremendous corporate elitist douchbag to your neighbors, and property ownership is public info.
>Only their assets if they are unprofitable, I think.
To clarify, if there are no profits from a business then only the assets owned by the business matter.
>That's exactly what happened, anon.
Yep. Divorce is basically like a battle in a video game. Only instead of setting up your squad of warriors and mages like in Final Fantasy Tactics, you set up legal entities and clauses to delay, deny an easy payout, and wait for the lawyers to lose interest and for wifey to run out of money.
Getting actual killshots doesn't occur often in the US legal system, so people aim to bleed enemy resources until they give up or go bankrupt. After that, their lawyer fights them in bankruptcy court, where he always wins.
The metagame is attrition of resources because the US legal system exists to ensure job security for lawyers and bureaucrats. They win either in divorce court or in bankruptcy court.
>He had arbitration clauses in his GC contracts which took the brunt of issues. And, he had set up the LLC's while he was a GC, not anything due to an angle of an impending divorce.
Based. Arbitration is sacred because it is a jobs program for lawyers, a divorce judge would be a fool to attack it. It adds delays, and time is money.
Being proactive and setting it up years in advance as a precaution is high IQ.
An average house with a workshop on a big hill with no one in sight. Image related is similar but that's too much house for me.
I could never live like that for every day I would fear for some random fricker taking shots at me for fun
You too?
100% would have bullet resistant windows
Its not WY but no its easy to get 500ac+ lots still
>13 rooflines
>Grass lawn in the middle of a desert
>Gravel drive
>Tiny lawyer foyer window
>Really long wing with car house
It'd be interesting to see what a mess the design of the inside is, this is full-on McMansion.
It's a mess, truly. Shame, the location looks pretty.
1000 sqft in the middle of nowhere (but 30 mins from a walmart)
I lived in a gnarly one of these for years on 9 acres. I'll never forget the look on my soon to be inlaws face when they showed up.
My 60'x40' pole barn sits where the trailer was now, and I built a large walk out ranch that is better in every way than the mcmansion they have in the fricking burbs.
Feelsgoodman
3 storage high - they are just more effecient than two story high. for the same square meters you get an extra room when you build three storages.
I dream of building a queen Anna with big turret on the side and a second floor balcony directly over the front door with white cedar clapboard and dark purple trim up by lake winnipesaukee, but I'd settle for a 70s single wide these days.
I'd like to refurbish some small warehouse. Large unheated ground floor open space serving as a garage, gym, kitchen, workshop, dog house and parrot aviariy area with lots of plants. Heated mezzanine bedrooms with retractable ladder leading to them and no windows for max home intrusion safety. Wouldn't even cost that much.
I like mansard rooves, but I like half timbers like the op pic. I don't think they go together very well
How does one go about actually creating buildable house plans?
In my job as a civil (roadway) engineer, I have drawn up literally hundreds of plan sheets in accordance with the comprehensive CAD standards and sample plans published by my employer, a state department of transportation. Are any analogous authoritative standards available for house plans? Or do you just have to find some random non-authoritative plan and copy its symbology as far as possible?
Something like this except made of stone.
That is made out of stone
I meant the whole thing.
if pic rel exists, I want it
A hillside estate in an arid region where I engineer advanced irrigation and year round crops.
I believe that modern architecture can look good when in isolation and surrounded my nature, the problem is when it tries to interact with other structures as architects can be quite selfish.
If I live in a humid area then:
If I live in an arid area then I will go with a modern arab/spanish concept surrounded by rock features, can't have as manny plants because a bush fire would engulf the house, meaning all (local) greenery would have to be planted in islands surrounded by masonry or sand, wind towers and other hot-dry specific measures of passive climate control would also be included.
Either way, I also want a bio-pool in order recycle a portion of my waste water, feed water features and water my plants, plus a reservoir. A large gardening area too. I would prioritize the view from the human level, not aerial views nor the entire façade, I know a big part of R E T U R N is to have nice façades, but the building will be obscured by plants, rocks and the terrain itself, you will never see the whole thing at once, I will concentrate in nice surfaces and "framing" the view. I also have this stupid idea of having a bathroom mile picrel, I want FBI's satellites to see me jerking off in the shower.
I will later figure out how to deal with mosquitoes, maybe illegally introducing frogs and dragonflies, I want to also raise chickens, maybe they can help with something
Absolutely based. Just about to come into European citizenship and am starting to look into long term plans for when my kids are older. So much variation in climate and the more Arid climates have their appeal in terms of not needing to heat/general cost, but the risk of fires and availabiliy of water always spooks me a bit.
You can look into Earthships, the biggest and most famous settlement is in a desert, so there is a lot on how to design for arid areas, I would not use trash, instead I would use adobe and similar materials if the local dirt is high in clay. Also look into the local traditional designs and materials, the accumulated knowledge of generations of shit farmers has more value than all of modernist architecture. But also do not be afraid of using new techniques, traditional architecture got so good by generations of trial and error and choosing the best answer for the context, if you find a better way of doing something you should absolutely try it, be them from modernity or other culture's traditions.
As of water, you should always Reduce->Reuse->Recycle, in that order. There are also manny answers for low-water living in cultures al around the world.
that looks nice....until you get the birds shittin and taking a bath there.
i thought atrium house was the best? im curious thou how do you prevent flooding in the middle garden area? french drains ? it would make sense to redirect the rain that goes into the middle towards a cistern
That chair looks like two chair having sex
2 bathrooms
1 bedroom
kitchen
basement
2 car garage
Black person free area
all I ask for and but it costs $400k plus tip where I live
>2 bathrooms
>1 bedroom
back up shitter.
1 on-suite bathroom solely for the bedroom. Often referred to as a "master bathroom".
1 bathroom that services the communal living areas. A lot of times it would be a "powder room" or "half bath" that only has a toilet and a sink.
It's still a bit odd to have in a 1 bedroom house unless you've got a finished basement.
It's not odd to want a separate half bath for company to use so they're not using your personal bathroom. What is odd however, is having a house that's only got 1 bedroom in it.
I read all of the "Little House on the Prairie" series at a really impressionable age and wanted to live in a sod house for a while. Once I got older and got my mitts on Lord of the Rings of course I thought the Hobbit houses were cool too, like they're both basically earth sheltered homes, the latter is just a little more sophisticated. I think it'd be cool as hell and you could build a bunker deep into the back if you had enough resources, idk I just think it would be neat (and I could probably do at least some of it myself)
with hard old bread and full of good words not full of meat no kind words in it
I want a house that looks like this on the inside
>carpet
>rug on carpet
>fake concrete rocks
>bad taste in every other artistic aspect
GOOD MORNING SIR!
Unironically something like picrel
Those car shop from the previous century with a full size big workshop and a habitable house/apartment attached to it, while having the confort of being close to urban area.
But it's surprisingly rare, since nowadays the apartments are completely detached from the workshop and the commercial-able area already taken for business
Imagine having your full first floor dedicated to your workshop and hobbies
Unironically my dream house
Sadly I'm a poorgay so I'll be a rentcuck all my life
because im too autistic to decorate myself i want to buy or inherit boomer house fully furnished.
And have a big garage that can fit 5 cars and a small workshop
a gay little house
Obligatory.
(Afaik the one in Austria is still standing despite demolition attempts and is now a set of flats.)
Interesting, ty anon
According to wiki a few are still standing

>Tfw no comfy tower house to hide in.
me at the bottom right
My favorite house was a 70s tri level, you're out of the bunker style of the 50s and 60s but not into the toothpick and veneer of the 80s (which seem pretty solid tbh considering everything after).
The 2nd best was a rental that has a garage tall enough for my RV.
The worst was a raised ranch with the kitchen on the 2nd floor, s.t. everything had to be run up the stairs or driven up the back. That shit got hella old. That house did have one of my favorite features tho, and one on a house I missed getting: shittons of oddly shaped rooms.
Currently I share an open office in the entryway with two other people and have zero studio space. My dream is a 6+ bedroom sprawling mcmansion with a finished basement and even more rooms.
Between that and this I'd love to hit the road in a class A RV an full time with my family. I'd have to ditch the wife however, she would absolutely die not having a house at any point.
What do you guys think of
I hate the idea. Doing a sod roof dugout is pretty cool, but a bunker with no windows is depressing.
Seems like the indoor humidity would be bad
Not a PrepHole thread. Why is fantasy here?
I want to live in a 3 story with a giant frick-off courtyard in the style of aztec architecture, with lots of flora.
Japanese western-inspired. Best of both worlds.
Looks fricking stupid
This or diamond block skibidi mansion will do.
>muh vidya
Pathetic
geodesic dome
>super cheap and easy to DIY
>also cheap to maintain. stays cozy in all climates.
>huge, roomy living space with high ceiling and no space wasted on stairs or hallways
>you can connect multiple domes and larp as a hobbit
Alright, we get it. You like weird houses, Nick. Get back to making more Scuffed Realtor content
they're only "weird" because the whole world has been brainwashed into inefficient boxes made of sticks that crack and leak heat everywhere. The dome is the natural shape of nature. Just look at the planet earth.
I looked at 2 geodesic homes when i was house shopping and they were both suspeciously inexpensive and both the definition of water intrusion
One style I'm partial to are these wooden mountain homes, with the large peaked windows overlooking the land, and a second story interior walkway overlooking the great room.
My neighbor's house looks like that
Looks cold to me i dont know how they heat it
>What kind of house do you want to own?
Something like this, but smaller
I hope it is better done than that.
aka fellow valencian
Is this dream house or "I hope to live in and possibly could".
Because I'd hoping I can save for a small comfy humble detached bungalow, ideally one built at least 60 years ago.
Old brick factories ftw
My mother has unironically mentioned how she wishes she could live in a house that's built like a Costco warehouse, with all the wiring and plumbing exposed for easy maintenance. (This is after experiencing electrical problems in her 70-year-old house, and constantly being afraid of frozen pipes in its slab foundation.)
