Great Plains Residence
Sven Alstrom, Designer

East Elevation

 

South Elevation

This five bedroom home was designed for a small town professional with two young children. The east facing 75 ft. x 125 ft. lot was flat so we put a sunken greenhouse in the southwest corner to bring light into the basement level as well as provide a passive solar heating element and gardening center for the home.

The main level is 1982 sq. ft. (with additional full basement) and the house is entirely built of 6 ½ inch SIPS (structueral insulated panels) with 8 inch SIPS for the roof. Woodburning fireplace stoves on both levels supplement the geothermal driven radiant flooring throughout.

The central stairway also would allow expansion of a second loft area into a large dormer above the main floor bedrooms if desired.

Hot water domestic solar panels are planned in combination with a gas on demand hot water heater.

The basement floor plan includes two additional bedrooms and a large family room / media room which also serves as a tornado shelter on the Great Plains .

Here is a quote from one of Sven's many satisfied customers: "Sven worked within the design times that he initially gave us, worked well with other design people, helped us negotiate a contract with the general contractor, and was very active in recommendations for purchased items and appliances. Most importantly, he listened to our ideas, concerns and wishes and we ended up with a finished project we are delighted with. We would certainly work with Sven Alstrom again if we were to undertake another project."
