The T-House

The T house is a vernacular southern architecture form, aptly named for its T-shaped plan. The "T" enables all principle rooms to have windows on three sides and a gracious piazza that blocks the high angle summer sun. The great room forms the bottom of the "T" and it is surrounded on three sides by a piazza. Fireplaces flank each side of the great room, one burning inside, the other faces the exterior, on the screen porch. The primary suite is located on the main level, with two additional bedrooms, two bathrooms and a media room (which could be easily converted into a third guest bedroom.
