| 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.

This light–filled home was originally designed for a scenic site surrounded by trees, in an area known for its chain of lakes. The circulation has a natural flow, with an array of interior and exterior spaces.
As you come off the covered front entry porch, you enter a foyer with a coat closet immediately to the right. An open kitchen is to the left, with a center island that divides the kitchen from the dining room beyond. From the dining room, a pair of glass doors open onto a covered porch, making it convenient to dine outdoors. A stairwell separates the dining room from the living area, which features a vaulted ceiling, and a central fireplace. Next to the living room is a screened porch, extending the living area further. A pair of doors from the living area leads to a master bedroom with a master bath. The master bath has a second door to the foyer, so that it’s easily accessible for public use.
Upstairs, an oversized curved balcony creates a nice visual element, with views to the living area below. To the right of the stairs is a well–lit loft space, which would make an ideal playroom or reading area. Two more bedrooms and a full bath are located on this floor.
On the basement level there is a family room with another fireplace, an office/den, a full bathroom, a storage room, a large laundry/utility room, and an optional fourth bedroom. Since the original home was built on a sloping lot, window wells were built for the office and utility rooms to bring in natural sunlight.
