We started out with a bigger building, but had to shave down the sq. ft. due to the budget. So wound up with a smaller 1st floor then 2nd floor. But it actually works to have more of a covering for the garage (which will have frosted glass doors for the Yoga Studio).
I really like the way the lower roof wraps around to create the covered porch for the 2nd floor deck.
The 20 degree angle of half the guesthouse gives it some visual interest and the main house has some angles too. The owners did not want a rectangular box.
This will be the view from the street, so it has a lot of visual interest.
