Overview

Ironmarrow is a custom farmhouse-style residence being rebuilt into a cohesive, permit-ready design after prior drafting introduced unwanted changes and missing elements. The home is primarily single-story with a dedicated loft, a front-dormer-only roof strategy, and covered outdoor zones that keep the overall form residential rather than commercial. The scope centers on reconciling multiple plan versions into one accurate, code-aligned set that fits the client’s original intent.

Client Type

Ironmarrow was envisioned for an owner-builder household that wants a clean, corrected plan set they can confidently bid, permit, and build from. The project fits clients who already have partial CAD and PDFs but need a professional to restore consistency across plans, elevations, and roof geometry. It is ideal for those who want a functional farmhouse look with a carport instead of a garage, and who need a disciplined revision process to keep scope from drifting.

Project Scope

The Ironmarrow project includes full architectural reconciliation and completion into a permit-ready drawing set, prioritizing the highest-impact corrections and missing components. The architectural program includes:
• Reconcile and refine multiple prior plan versions to restore original intent and remove undesired commercial-style elements
• Finalize a primarily single-story layout with a fully designed and labeled loft, including L-shaped stair with landing and code-appropriate hallway sizing
• Complete missing exterior documentation including aligned elevations, window placement consistency, and front-facing dormers only
• Define covered-area program under roof, including properly sized carport depth and covered porches, with no enclosed garage
• Produce a full permit-ready construction set (plans, roof, foundation, sections, site plan from survey, and MEP layouts) with engineering coordinated later if required

Challenges Addressed

The design had to correct inconsistencies while keeping a clear residential character and preventing further scope drift. Key considerations included:
• Undoing prior plan inflation and unintended architectural shifts while keeping the current functional needs intact
• Rebuilding alignment between floor plans, elevations, windows, and dormer strategy so the exterior reads cohesive
• Resolving stair, hallway, and loft layout details so the upper space is buildable and clearly documented
• Preserving carport and covered-space proportions so under-roof totals remain accurate and visually balanced
• Maintaining Florida Building Code and Baker County compliance while working from reference-only legacy files

Goals Achieved

Ironmarrow establishes a clear, corrected direction that’s ready to finish into a cohesive construction set:
✔️ Plan reconciliation strategy that restores original intent and eliminates commercial-looking elements
✔️ Loft and stair direction clarified with code-aware circulation sizing and labeled usable space
✔️ Elevation and window alignment path defined, with front dormers only and consistent exterior rhythm
✔️ Carport-first covered-area planning preserved with correct depth and under-roof accounting
✔️ Permit-ready deliverable scope locked: architectural sheets plus MEP, with engineering coordinated afterward if needed
