House without a front door

[2020]

I am working on an order with a unique house that does not have a front door. Both entry doors are on the ends of the house. There are no similar homes in the area. Thoughts?

As long as it is easy to get to either door, not an issue IMO. There is no rule that a door to be located I n the front of the house, it just is customary. Just comment that the door is accessible and located on either side. (on some houses I have done the side functions as the front nt and technically the door is on the "side" with a garage facing teh street. )

Was it originally designed as a two family home?

According to the National Association Department of Home Builder Development Administration for Uniform Standards of Professional Regulation Code and Conduct Congressional Commission Counseling Institute of Research and Quality Foundation Bureau Subcommittee Agency, a home with no front door should be razed and rebuilt with 2 front doors.

i see that sometimes with a corner property where the front of the house faces the other street, and not the address st. when that happens i have to be careful as to how i draw it. the front door on the drawing is on the side because the front of the house faces the address st, looks like a turned sidewise home on the drawing.
always think in terms of functional utility, in which case these doors placement affects nothing but your pre determined beliefs.

That design is common here on narrow lots or on key lots.

I see a lot of houses on narrow lots with side doors. A "snout first" garage takes up a lot of the front. I know a house where everything is 'on the round' and there are no interior doors. Curved walls means you cannot see into any room from the hall. Did I mention it was 100% concrete? And the assessor sketch was blank. They didn't know how to measure it either.
