"Townhouse" Villa #2

Ladies and Gentlemen;

The lower portion of the "rustic" villa are finished and ready to be photographed, as soon as my wife finishes her work.  Meanwhile the design of the "Townhouse" villa continues.  I am also making copies of the "rustic" villa plans in case anyone wants a hard copy.

In regard to the "townhouse" villa plans, I have rough sketches of the ground and first levels of the villa detailed.  I am following the ideas expressed in the following book which seems to me to be a very nice house indeed!!  

--Stephan Biesty, "Rome, In Spectacular Cross-Section," Scholastic Nonfiction, Oxford University Press, Oxford, England, 2003, (0-439-45546-4).

While this is a juvenile book it illustrates in excellent detail all the information needed to design and build a model "townhouse" villa.  

There are two views of the villa  in the book.  One is a side view showing both upper and lower levels.  The second is a top view, about 30 to 45 degrees off top center, and showing rooms and passages below the tiled roof.  It is from these views that I will make my final design layout for the "townhouse" villa.

Respectfully;

Marcus Audens
