We have several albums of photos for the Newcastle on our website at the following link https://www.dongardner.com/house-plan/994/the-newcastle/ Unfortunately, we have not received any photos of the Tristan or Mahoney yet but, the primary difference between these three is the Kitchen of the Tristan switches places with the Dining room of the Newcastle and eliminates the breakfast area. This is why the total Sq. Ft. is reduced by 134 Sq Ft. The difference between the Mahoney and Newcastle is the Dining room replaces the Breakfast room and the former Dining room is converted to a bedroom with a full bath and that is where the extra 254 Sq Ft come into play. Here is a link that will give you a side-by-side comparison the three floor plans. https://www.dongardner.com/house-plan/1311/tristan/compare

Did you build or are you building the Tristan? We will be starting it in the spring.

We are currently building the Tristan in southern WI

We are waiting for our local architect to modify the plans. We hope to break ground after the first of the year here in Michigan. Care to exchange info/progress? Ewigginton@gmail.com

We have also made changes to original plan. We increased the right side of the house by 2ft to give the kitchen, dining, and what we've made into a sunroom, more room. We have a full basement, eliminated one bath upstairs, eliminated the hall closet to provide more room for master closet, added a third garage bay, and eliminated the door from master onto the covered porch. The designer let it be known that the truss system was a nightmare to design. We are about a week into rough framing after a string of delays.

Ha. We also eliminated the master door to the porch along with the door from the screened porch to the great room. Eliminated windows in dining room overlooking screened porch to allow built ins in dining room.

binghampoint, did they go into details about the roof trusses? I assume it had to do with the dormers? and perhaps rear patio porch?

I don’t really remember what the exact issue was but yes, I seem to remember it was the dormer over front door
