Floor plan established

We met with our architect Edie http://www.green-ridge-design.com/ and saw the floor plan options she had designed. They are way better than anything we could have come up with. Our quonset will be oriented with the openings facing North/South and there will be no windows along the East/West sides. However, we do have 4 skylights that will be bringing extra light in.

The layout of the house:
Main floor: Front entry will be on the North side of the house off center to the west.  You will walk in  to a long hallway, coat closet, lots of storage along the sloped wall. From the entry you can go left to the office/utility room (laundry and utilities will be in closets within the office). The office will have a large north facing window. If you walk straight you will eventually walk right in to the living room. The kitchen will be centered in the house with an island. The dining room is next to the stairs to the upstairs loft. Next to the base of the stairs is the door to the master bedroom. The architect was very thoughtful in this - our bedroom door opens to the stairs so we can have easy access to the kiddo's room upstairs. The master bedroom has north facing windows, walk in closet, and bathroom.
Second floor: Very simple. At the top of the stairs there is an open loft area. Each bedroom has a north facing window and a walk in closet that will use the sloped part of the wall. There is a full bathroom upstairs.
The floor plan flows very well. Has an open feel. Lots of south facing windows with a great double sliding glass door. There will be radiant in floor heating and a wood burning stove.
I think we will eventually build some sort of covering over the back patio (south facing), perhaps a pergola. The north entry will have an arched covering to match the architecture of the house.
Now that we have the floor plan we can start working on the details. Lighting placement (we're planning on doing low voltage lighting to eventually convert to solar), electrical, mechanical details, what we are going to cover the quonset interior walls with (after the spray foam for insulation).
We've got a long way to go, but it is so exciting to see your dream come to life in 2D.
Next, we need to visit the Jeffco building permit guys to figure out what all we need to done for the permitting. We also have talked about possibly moving in to the house before it is done and what we will need to get our certificate of occupancy. Good thing we have all winter to get the details together and get people lined up to start first thing in the spring. We'll have to start working on recruiting people to help erect the quonset!

Side note:
We bought our quonset from www.steelmasterusa.com and I have to say that our architect has been crazy helpful in getting the details from them on the building that it seemed we weren't getting. We found out they sell a base plate for the quonset so we can do slab on grade instead of having a raised edge to put it in. The architect was also able to get the details on how to configure the house to have the venting pipes in the right place. There are a lot of little details (like how do you attach drywall or other material to the quonset) and we are so glad that we have chosen an architect to work with.
