House height
Traditionally, the overall height of a house is determined by measuring from the top of the finished floor on the main level, to the highest peak of the roof.

Ceiling heights Raising or lowering the height of the ceilings on one or more floors of a house is often a simple change that can be made by your builder. However, if you want to raise the ceiling of the main floor of a two-story home, there has to be room to add steps to the existing staircase. |

Vaulted ceilings
We consider a room to be vaulted if the ceiling - whether flat, angled, or curved - is above 10 feet at its highest point. If you prefer that one or more rooms not be vaulted in your new home, this is a very simple change that your builder can make for you.

The generous entry porch creates an outdoor space to sit and relax. You enter a foyer space with room for a bench and closet. An open lavatory sink is located next to the full bath, but you can easily switch the linen closet for a smaller sink, if you prefer the sink in the bathroom. The living room has a vaulted ceiling, and is open to the kitchen, with an open central space for the dining table. A woodstove is located in the center of the room, which warms the entire cabin.
The upstairs balcony leads to a large, open loft bedroom space, which has a ceiling that vaults from 6′ at the edges to 11′ in the middle.

Brief Description
This cozy cabin has a small and simple footprint, and makes use of eco–friendly materials. It was originally designed with a metal roof, which is ideal if you are also interested in rainwater collection.
