Haven't been around school at all since spring break, but it great to hear from students interested in the house. The design has evolved now to a point where I think it is really starting to make sense. The house needs to work as a separate (rentable) space, but it also needs to work if/when we bust through the wall and turn it into one bigger house.
I think we might finally have done that.
Here are some updated images, and I'll try and post some plans and drawings that better explain it later....
