Deconstructing the Ghost - Part 2

This is the main floor plan of the house we featured in our May 25th blog post. We used the field measurements to create CAD drawings, printed them, and overlaid them with trace to find a geometric pattern. These patterns appear very often, especially in older homes with entire floor plans based strictly off of material dimensions. This plan uses an 8' grid with slight variations for tight or exceptional spaces.  These variations conform to the golden mean, a ratio that occurs organically in many natural forms. We'll end this now because I could bore everyone to tears by writing endlessly about the golden mean.
