    Option 4 of the Paradise Rises project includes a finished half story above the standard floor plan. We included dormers suited to different architectural styles to make use of the attic space. This illustration shows the layout available with the Craftsman style dormers, you can see the full selection of plan variations under the Paradise Rises project on our Samples Page.

    You'll notice that floor plan Option 3 and Option 4 for the Paradise Rises project are quite similar. Both are a story and a half with matching structural walls and feature livable attic space. The attic in Option 3 has been left mostly unfinished. This creates an opportunity for a home owner in Paradise, CA, to rebuild a livable space for themselves with cost savings by not immediately finishing the upstairs. Once they are prepared to complete the project, residents to can choose to wrap it up on their own accord. Review the full design set to see how the attic spaces differ between architectural styles due to the location and placement of dormers.

    Option 2 in the Paradise Rises project is just over 1200 square feet on the main level. This home was made 2 feet wider than the other options to offer bigger bedroom spaces and more room for a loft area over the bathrooms and mechanical room. The loft's size and headroom varies, depending on the architectural style chosen for this plan option. Most styles also provide accessible attic space that can be used for storage and to house some of the mechanical systems for the home. You can see each of the styles for Option 2 on the Samples Page under the Paradise Rises project.

    Option 1 is the smallest and most simplified floor plan variation. Coming in right at 1,200 square feet, an open living space flows through 1/2 of the structure, a feature typical to all the plan options. Also included are two baths, a front porch. Variations to the plan are available with choices on fireplace vs. gas insert, flex room use, and depending on the style's roof line, a possible storage or loft space over the bathroom areas.

    Paradise Rises Option 6 is the biggest and final design in the bunch. Coming in at over 2400 square feet, it's still a small home by some standards. The efficient design is able to pack 5-6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and plenty of common space on both floors. You'll see our interpretation of this floor plan done in the styles of Colonial, Tuscan, and Victorian.

    Chief Architect provides Bay, Box, and Bow Window tools to make it easy to place these directly into your designs. You can also manually create protruding windows using walls and room definitions to control the details of the space.

    Reproduction fixtures make creating an period inspired bathroom easy. Antiqued brass fittings, wainscotting, and a pedestal tub and sink, paired with Damask wallpaper by Bradbury & Bradbury speak beautifully to the Victorian style house.

    An enclosed porch can be a welcome reprieve from the blazing sun in the summer months, and provide a protected cove during cooler times.

    Sturdy furniture and warm colors for this house illustrate how interior design styling can transform any space. One might not realize that this was the same floor plan as the previously featured home, when in reality, only the surfaces and furnishings differ.

    The Tuscan kitchen is quite traditional. We've included feature pieces like a Mediterranean wood ventilation hood and a curved front on the island's bar.

    Warm, sturdy, fire resistant materials common to a Tuscan home made this style an obvious choice for the Paradise Rises project. Stucco on the main house is accentuated with natural stone on the wrap-around porch and fireplace. Tile roofing is a bow on top.

    Room labels sometimes are not the best reflection of how a space can be used. In this case, we show a "bedroom" space utilized as an office. The addition of a futon, Murphy bed, or convertible sofa could make this office and easy guest bedroom.

    Our content development team is continually developing new objects and materials to be used in renderings like these. Some catalogs that might appeal to this home's style include Country Primitives / Farmhouse No.1 and Country Primitives / Farmhouse No.2. Those aren't the only option though, the 3D Library features over 350 catalogs that can be downloaded to compliment your designs.

    Making the island a different color than the rest of the kitchen cabinets is a design trick that can help make a kitchen look bigger and more interesting. Use the Material Painter's scoping options to control which components of an object or room you change when applying materials.

    The second style we made for Paradise Rises Option 5 floor plan is a Saltbox style. "Saltbox" describes the roof design, which features an asymmetric roof that is higher on one side than the other. Saltbox configurations are common for the simple, Early American Federal style.

    Kerry, our rendering specialist, did an amazing job decorating the Saltbox house's interior with simple but dramatic materials that make this quaint style beautiful and welcoming.
