I have been looking at property in Northern Arizona lately and it got me thinking if I do go for it, I should design my own building. I have been messing around with a old drafting program (Visio) designing my ultimate man cave / shop / house. It will all fit inside a 60x80 building. I have two versions so far. I really like what I came up with for the master suite. The walls dividing the sleeping area from the changing/bathing/pooping area would not go all the way to the ceiling to keep it more open. The doors into the living space from both bedrooms would be hanging sliding doors, as big as would fit. The 2nd room would probably end up with a shower and no tub, since no one uses tubs anyways. I would also put a spa outside on the patio for soaking. Walk-in pantry, mud type room separating the shop from the residence with half bath, large kitchen with hang out counter, huge main room with French doors along the entire residence portion of the house for light and inside-outside living areas. Maybe a window from the kitchen looking into the shop area, but maybe they should be completely separate.
In the shop area, that divider would be a retractable curtain to keep shop dust off of the RV, boat and my future Porsche 997. I know I didn't locate the air compressor, water heaters, etc. I would also maybe add a entry door, or just use the French doors or shop OH doors. Probably all outside windows/doors would have security roll-ups for piece of mind. Let me know what you would do different.
