About The Palmetto Lanai

The Palmetto Lanai is built for warm-weather living. Across the back, a 16-foot-deep covered lanai holds a lounge, a dining set and a stone fireplace, and three sets of glass doors open the great room right onto it. A two-car garage, a bright coastal kitchen and a split-bedroom layout complete a home that feels like vacation every day.

Living in The Palmetto Lanai

Who it suits

The Palmetto Lanai is built around its back porch. A covered lanai 16 ft deep spans the full 58 ft of the rear, and 3 sets of 6 ft glass doors lead from the great room onto it. The primary suite is at the right end, the other bedrooms at the left.

Room by room

Front door: the 3 ft door at the front enters the great room, 21 x 39 ft, with the kitchen and dining area.
Lanai: an outdoor fireplace stands against the house wall under the lanai roof.
Primary suite: its own 6 ft glass door to the lanai, a walk-in closet, a bath and windows on the right wall.
Mudroom: the mudroom and laundry links the great room to the garage and to a walk-in pantry.
Bedrooms: Bedroom 2 and Bedroom 3 have closets and open off the great room, along with Bath 2, a powder room and a coat closet.

Build notes

The house roof is 5:12, with a 12 ft 6 in eave and a 20 ft 10 in ridge. The garage wing has its own roof, 10 ft to the eave and 15 ft to the ridge.
The lanai has a 3:12 shed roof on 8 posts, and the front porch is 58 ft long on 7.
The outdoor fireplace is 5 ft wide masonry with its own chimney through the lanai roof. Your engineer sizes its footing.
Both garage doors, 9 x 7 ft, face the front. Your builder and building department settle the rules for the garage-to-mudroom door.

The exterior and interior images are concept renderings of this design, not photographs of a built home. Finishes and fixtures are illustrative; the plan governs. The floor plan is drawn from the plan set. Areas are approximate and measured to the outside face of exterior walls; porches, garages and shops are listed separately.

Floor plan and specifications

Every room is dimensioned and every door and window carries its size, straight from the plan set.

Masses: House: 58' x 40', living space, eave 12'-6", ridge 20'-10"
Garage: 24' x 24', eave 10'-0", ridge 15'-0"
Porches: Front porch: 58' x 8', 3:12 shed roof attached at 12 ft 6 in, beam 10 ft 6 in high at the posts, 7 posts
Covered rear lanai: 58' x 16', 3:12 shed roof attached at 12 ft 6 in, beam 8 ft 6 in high at the posts, 8 posts
Structure: Drawn for conventional wood (stick) framing; trusses, posts, beams and footings are sized by the builder's engineer. A steel-frame or post-frame version is an adaptation your builder or engineer makes. Member sizes, connections and loads are by your builder's engineer for your site.
Foundation: Typical starting point: monolithic slab-on-grade with a thickened edge (a stem wall where frost depth requires), footings below the local frost line, a footing under every interior bearing line and girder point, and porch-post footings with uplift ties. Slab thickness, footing sizes, reinforcing and anchorage are sized by your engineer for your soil, frost depth and loads; shop and garage slabs are usually heavier than living-area slabs.
Counts: 9 windows, 5 exterior doors, 2 overhead doors, 15 porch posts

Sizes are clear inside dimensions for rooms and rough openings for doors and windows, from the plan set. Roof heights are above the finished floor. The structure and foundation lines are typical starting points: the drawings are not stamped, and your builder's engineer sizes members, footings and anchorage for your site, soil, snow, wind and frost depth.
