What are the roof options? Could I build a ledge all around the top of the house so that a yurt roof could be installed? Would a flat roof be advisable? (High desert, only 7″ anual precipitation.)
Yes, these are all good options. Look through books and websites of roof options and you’ll see lots of possibilities. For example, I’m designing one now with a flat roof and a thatched roof over that to provide a covered deck. Many of my clients want something unique and so they’re making changes like this.
Owen,
Jimmie here, we have 5 acres down in costilla colorado and are looking for plans just like this for a small cabin/shed to stay in while we build a larger structure for the home. Is this a design we could take to the engineering firm that is working with your designs to have codified for co since its over 120sqft? If so, what would be the process to get that started with them as we are hoping to start in late spring. Thanks a bunch
Yes, it will work in code areas if you use a concrete foundation and bond beam, and standardized roof framing or factory trusses . If there are no or few codes, the plan will work as is.
But before buying the plan, email Structure1.com and ask for a quote. Include a link to the plan. Their email address is info@structure1.com
