The first thing you notice on the rear elevation is the two story roof above the Verandah that allows indirect light to enter the Living Room. As I mentioned in Part 4, this is a vital aspect of this plan as it lights up a room that otherwise would be quite dark with a roof line of 12-14' high. The two story glass opens the Living Room to the fabulous view to the pool.
As you view the rear elevation photo below, notice the pool does not have a screen enclosure. It's quite the trend to eliminate a screen enclosure these days. This movement if fueled by the cost of an enclosure ($30,000) as well as the use of motorized, retractable, screens. Additionally, your pool water will be warmer by 5-10 degree without an enclosure.
Bedroom 3, Leisure Room, Living Room, Master Bedroom and the Pool Bath all have access to the pool area. Frankly, that's all part of the Florida lifestyle.
The 2nd floor observation deck is a great touch and increases the intimacy of the outdoor kitchen area. The kitchen could be more elaborate for a plan of this caliber but it certainly is adequate. It has a sink, grill, counter top, refrigerator and bar top.
Adding an outdoor shower would be a nice touch as well as additional storage for pool toys and seat cushions.
