About The Sandhill

The Sandhill trades stark black-and-white for something warmer: sand-beige siding, a dark bronze roof and a timber-framed entry gable that announces the front door. Inside, rough-sawn beams cross a 14-foot great room, a walnut-and-stone kitchen feels like a gathering place, and big windows frame the pasture. A rear porch with a cedar ceiling waits for slow evenings.

Highlights

Heavy timber entry gable
Warm sand-and-bronze exterior

Living in The Sandhill

Who it suits

The Sandhill suits people who want a modern ranch with a separate home office. The office opens off the entry, away from the living space, and a rear porch 66 ft long and 10 ft deep spans the whole back.

Room by room

Entry: the 6 ft double entry door opens into an entry hall, with a door to the office and an opening to the great room.
Great room: kitchen, dining and living share one room. The powder room and walk-in pantry open off it, and a 6 ft glass door leads to the rear porch.
Primary suite: 4 windows, 2 on the front wall and 2 on the left, plus a bath and a walk-in closet.
Bedrooms: Bedroom 2, Bedroom 3 and Bath 2 open off a hall, and both bedrooms have windows on the right wall.
Side entry: the laundry and mudroom has its own 3 ft door on the right wall.

Build notes

A small open-air timber gable, 10 ft wide and 8 ft deep, projects from the front toward the left end, with its ridge at 13 ft 1 in.
The main roof is 5:12, with eaves at 11 ft and the ridge at 18 ft 11 in, running left to right.
The front porch has 5 posts and the rear porch 8, both under 3:12 shed roofs, with posts and footings sized by your engineer.
The chimney leaves the rear roof slope 2 ft 6 in from the ridge.

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.

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.
Counts: 12 windows, 3 exterior doors, 13 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.
