5 L-Shape Home Designs You will Fall in Love with
With wings to hug the outdoors, these designs embrace the landscape, giving homes a powerful connection to habitat.
How do you ensure your home connects to it’s site? It begins with an ‘L’ and ends in design. While style is an important aspect of context, what’s crucial is a clever plan. An L-shaped house plan creates a layout which works hard to create indoor-outdoor harmony and provide internal spaces with plenty of views of the backyard. In fact, what this L-shape provides is an incomplete outdoor room. A room formed by the inside corner of the exterior walls, which reaches out with two arms, extending in opposite directions to wrap around the green space, forming a private secluded yard.
