One of the most common questions we get when customers start exploring building their dream home is “how custom can I go?”.
When it’s time to design your custom home, there truly is no limit.
This Kingsbridge built by our New Orleans - Baton Rouge team is the perfect example of making a floor plan the perfect fit for your family’s needs. Ellen and Jason wanted to build a home that was the perfect blend of Louisiana charm and had plenty of space for their family. With multiple children still at home, they knew that choosing a floor plan with at least five bedrooms was a must.
After narrowing down their favorite plans, the pair eventually settled on the Kingsbridge plan to help bring their vision to life.
Wanting to encapsulate the French Country charm they loved so much, a spacious front balcony was on the top of their new home wish list. To achieve this, look on the Kingsbridge, the front exterior of the home was squared off and a two-story porch, complete with wrought iron railing, was added. Four double doors were also added on the second story to allow the family full advantage of the newly added outdoor space. Additionally, a covered porch with an outdoor kitchen was added on the rear of the home.
Bringing the French Country design style inside, brick was incorporated into multiple elements in the interior. A two-story brick fireplace was added to the great room, creating a key focal element for the space. Brick and cypress wrapped beams were also added to separate the kitchen and great room.
To have the necessary number of bedrooms for their family, Ellen and Jason chose an alternate layout for the second floor of the home. Instead of the traditional three upstairs bedrooms with a loft layout, the second story now includes a fourth bedroom in place of the loft. The second floor also now includes a catwalk near the front of the home to allow access to the upper level of the exterior front porch.
