The kitchen has always been the heart of the home, but in modern times, this space has become the heart and hub of the home. All Drees kitchens are open and airy, but it’s important to consider a floor plan that prioritizes this space if home cooking and entertaining are priorities for you. Some floor plans allow for an expansive, oversized island; others have a working pantry to store food items, appliances and gadgets.   

When it comes to the layout of your kitchen, dining area and family room - don’t fret. Most of our floor plans incorporate Drees’ signature living triangle, an open floor plan concept in which the kitchen, family room and dining area are adjacent. This setup makes for functional everyday living and optimal entertaining opportunities.  

Moving outside, many of our floor plans feature spacious outdoor living areas, which you can complete with a covered porch, fireplace and dining space. Some of our floor plans even offer the option for you to extend this area, so you can have plenty of space to entertain outdoors.  

When selecting a floor plan, it’s imperative to consider which areas of the home are a priority for you and your family. Ultimately, it’s important to design a home that speaks to the rhythm of your everyday lifestyle and creates a foundation to set your family up for success.
