Two-Story Hale-12's
Lots of floor plan options become available in the 2-story format, including expanded wrap-around decks, lower level parking, and of course a bird's-eye vantage point for panoramic views.
As you've seen with all our Hale-8 and Hale-12 models, our unique self-supporting compression open-beam ceiling/roof system allows not only a beautiful overhead interior, but gives complete interior room design flexibility. A 2-story Hale-12 is structurally engineered to accommodate all your interior floor plan ideas, and it offers the potential for sweeping panoramic views all around, from open or covered wrap-around lanais.
Here is a very popular floor plan, the 2-Story Hale-12, with 360-degree surrounding covered lanai extensions, giving lots of additional floor space and sweeping panoramic views all the way around: Lower-level Lanais are usually
poured as your concrete pad foundation. In this home design, the lower floor has 3 bedrooms (with surrounding lanai) and a large bathroom with laundry facilities. (Of course you can lay out your rooms in most any way you desire): Here's an interesting
note... The ceilings in downstairs
rooms can be covered Ask us for more details
Upstairs, you have a spacious open living/dining/kitchen area with high open
beam ceilings

Here is an example of a 2-Story Hale-12 with a 3-Bedroom layout. On the lower floor, each bedroom can have its own bathroom and private covered entrance, and the upper floor is laid out with lots of windows and covered lanai to take advantage of the view:
Special recommendation for 2-Story homes... While requiring more materials to build the full wrap lanai, we feel it is a valuable contribution on a 2-Story home, as it adds much more coverage and protection from the elements for the very tall cedar walls on 2-story homes. We recommend a lanai on all weather-facing sides of your 2-Story home, and suggest at least a longer roof overhang in any other areas.
Here is a design that includes 5+ Bedrooms, 3 Baths, Laundry a full 2-Car Garage, Workshop, Study and lots of sweeping views from the Living Area and Upstairs Bedrooms, with this large covered Lanai:
Here is an interesting layout enhancement of the above design... Take a closer look at the perimeter living
area walls (2nd floor)
This will give you an expanded Living Area like this (the vertical posts are at the perimeter of the central Hale-12): Plus, an added covered outdoor wrap-around Lanai like this:
Much design freedom, as you can see... If you see something you like on our
