STAIR U P P E R L E V E L F L O O R P L A N STORAGE A staggered plan approach to the house provides two sides of views to many of the primary rooms. The final touch was adding a 20- by 20-ft. octagon deck at the outermost point of the lot to give 250 degrees of lake visibility. which is when we decided to add octagon deck on the very end." Te 20- by 20-ft. deck provides approximately 250 degrees of visibility. Both owners wanted to maximize the glass, thereby introducing more natural light and ofering more views. Te husband, a recently retired professional, had occupied an ofce with many windows and liked to see outside. "We created his ofce on the upper level, and it has the main view going out the end of the house," Chapman says. Tat area of window is designed in a six-piece diamond pattern, which is repeated on three sides of the home and, on a smaller scale, on the front door. South Carolina's hot summer temperatures meant heat control became a consideration for this southeast- ern exposure house. Te living room area is accessed by a set of doors Chapman recessed by about 5 ft. so they're under cover. "Te rest of the glass in the living and din- ing room is under a screen porch," he says. "We used Andersen's E-series windows and doors with special glass and then put a Vista flm on the inside to reduce refec- tion. Tey also have automated solar shades on all of the lower windows that can be opened or closed a quarter or halfway, which helps maintain the view while ofering more sun protection."
