Dear Client,
Thank you very much for sharing this competition.
The description and goals of the project were very straightforward. I hope my solution is an approach appealing to you. The first floor plan is divided to an entry/kitchen area and a sleeping nook located close to the fireplace. The woodstove is in line with the small "kitchen". The steps in the middle of the room separate the entry from the sleeping area.
I hope you like my ideas. If you have any questions or would like to receive more detailed plans don't hesitate to contact me.
