PLAN 119-400

A palace you would expect in France. Opulent and impressive, this magnificent home is truly fit for the royalty with a grand entry leading to the circular staircase under the rotunda dome. From this epicenter of the home, guests can move freely between the parlor, Dining of Hall, Grand Room and its two Verandas. Two powder rooms are adjacent to the central lobby. There is great openness with the grand room, Master Bedroom, Library, Morning Room, Parlor and dining Room all soaring two-stories and capped by classically detailed ceilings. For family members or guests, there are five lavish staterooms en suite. This palatial home is just as favorably appointed for everyday living as for formal entertaining, with a four car garage, a lift (elevator), two sets of alternative staircase.

It is common place to build with your builder and/or electrician before the work starts to review this plan. Careful planning can make your home special and convenient for your family.

• Cross-Sections: Sections are used to further describe any architectural intent necessary for the builder or framer. This drawing will illustrate important changes in the floor, ceiling, and roof heights.
• Cabinet Elevations*: Cabinet elevations are provided with your plans, and like the electrical plan, they are mainly a guide for estimating purposes. Cabinets are an area that is easy to customize and your builder or cabinet maker will work with you early on in the process to ensure that the correct cabinets are specified. Archival Designs believes cabinets should reflect your taste and budget. After framing and sheet rock installation sizes of walls may change slightly. The cabinet maker must take as built measurements to properly size your cabinets. **NOTE: The majority of house plans will include cabinet elevations in construction set; however, not all will include.
• General Notes: Separate sheets that provide standard construction notes, in addition included are the details required to comply with International Residential Code (IRC) & Southern Building Code (SBC).
