Torborg house in Orlando, updated 7/27/2003


This page has the floor plans and photos of our house and of other houses of the same model in order to show what the house will look like when completed.

Our house has reached a point where it is now looks more like what we're going to end up with than any of the examples I could find.
There will be a white low fence across the gap between the two pillars on the front porch. We're also supposed to have shutters on the front windows.

Walking onto the golf course, I shot this photo from just across the pond. Notice that we have rail on the balcony now. More on that below.

Floor Plan

This is the floor plan of our house. There are several errors that I know of in this drawing. The garage has two windows facing front. The front upstairs bedroom has a window facing front. The upstairs of the foyer has a window facing front that is aligned directly above the front-doors below. It isn't squared off as shown in the plan. The upstairs left bedrooms are almost identical in size.
floor plan of our house
The house has 5 bedrooms. The upstairs front left bedroom will be Jack's. The upstairs left rear will be Laura's. The upstairs middle will be the junk/computer/work room. The downstairs room will be the guest room.

Down Stairs

Here are two photos of the front right of the house. Left is looking at the living room from the foyer. Right is looking into the kitchen door from the dining room. Our house will not come with crown molding, chair rails or decorative inlays. We'll have to add them if we like. The light fixtures and paint are all different too.

Here is a photo from within the guest bedroom looking towards the front of the house. The left door opens to the front hall. You can see the left into the foyer, the left into the laundry room, and finally the garage. The right door passes into the guest bathroom. The man in the picture is Jay who is an agent representing the developer.

Upstairs

Here is a photo in the Brighton at lot#32 showing the foyer from in the master bedroom. Across the foyer you can see Jack's closet(middle/left) and bedroom (right). Metal studs are upstairs for interior walls. Doors are framed with wood. Downstairs is constructed using wood 2x4s for interior walls.
foyer under construction
This is the foyer of our house somewhat further along shot from downstairs looking toward the front. It's really hard to capture the shape of the foyer on camera since it is not all that large a space. A fisheye lens might work.

Here is another attempt shot from upstairs near the bathroom door.

Laura's bedroom
These photos are of the back-left bedroom.
I shot the first photo from outside the back of a house that had a full balcony and sliding door in this room. The photo is looking into the room. You can see Laura's closet on the right, the air conditioner pedistal in the middle, and the door to the hall on the left.
The white item in the foreground is actually to keep you from falling out the slider's hole before the balcony is finished.

Here are some photos of a the back of 2 Brighton houses, one with a pool cover and one without. Both have the half back balcony that we'll be getting. The balcony is behind the master bedroom.
Initially we will not be buying a pool and screen cover.
