We just completed construction of a modified version of Sarah Susanka's "A River Runs Below It". We bought the drawing on-line then had them modified by a residental designer that we locted from this web page.

The ground and main levels are close to Sarah's original design with the exception that we added 4' to enlarge the kitchen and dining areas. The upstairs master suit was completely reconfigured. We added a garage, a canopy roof over the main entry and modified the roof lines.

If anyone is iterested here are some photos: www.andersontvl.com/house or if you are in the West Michigan area the house is on disply in the Grand Rapids Parade of Homes until October 7, 2006. House #31 It is located about 35 miles north of the city.

Here is a rendering we did for Rich's project. As you can see from this perspective rendering the addition of a two stall garage, a covered entry, and modified the rooflines.
