This is a home that combines style with the space to entertain.

The open concept plan allows for large gatherings but still has that warm feeling of home. Two-story areas at the foyer and the family room add to the grand feel of this home and an option for a third story walk-up attic gives you space to expand.

A two-sided fireplace divides the family room and the kitchen, but allows for easy interaction between the spaces. Special details like the colonnade at the foyer, a butler pantry and a walk-in pantry give this home those special touches to set it apart from other floor plans.

If you want news and views about modular home building, you can stop by Modular Musings. Everyone knows that. But Excel’s architects – in particular, Excel’s new Director of Architectural Design and Innovation, Steven Saffell – come up with outside-the-box designs all the time, but many of them never see the light of day.

That’s why we created another blog, called The Excel Drawing Board. On the Drawing Board, we’ll feature some of these innovative designs and allow readers to comment on them. If it gets positive reviews, it might join the Excel catalogue. If not, it’s back to the drawing board.

The blog features everything from single-family residential designs to commercial residential designs to office space concepts. Feel free to check it out, and don’t be afraid to tell us what you really think of some of those designs!
