Aragon: 649 Aragon StreetLynn and John Huber completed work on their "Charleston Side-Yard" home in 2003. A renewed interest in traditional housing has brought the sideyard house to the forefront once again. In new neighborhood developments, such as Aragon these homes are being constructed with the original concept intact. This building type is so-named due to its disposition on the lot. Situated along the property line on one side, the home allows for a generous "side yard," as opposed to the leftover strips of grass on both sides of a house placed in the middle of the lot.
The long configuration of the side-yard home designates the disposition of the rooms as such: the living room to the front of the house, followed by the foyer where the stairs are located, which lead up to the bedrooms on the second floor. The dining room, kitchen and family room are toward the back of the house taken by Denise Daughtry

The hip roof where the slopes meet at a point are called pyramidal roofs. This roof is particularly appropriate for hot climates, since warm air rires up into the high roof and leave the rooms below cooler. taken by Denise Daughtry
