# Connect the approved Cape Cod label to this project record.

A Cape Cod home project page connects the approved style label to identified exterior views, roof-space records and room locations. Explain what the front view shows, then use the matching plan for room use by level. Keep unconfirmed upstairs space unresolved instead of treating the Cape Cod label as a floor plan.

## Where does the approved Cape Cod label apply?

Begin with the project brief that approves Cape Cod as the public description. Record the source and its revision. Confirm whether the term describes an exterior concept, a selected design or a completed project. A style preference in early notes does not establish the current project label.

Keep that scope in the opening paragraph. If approval covers the front elevation only, say so before discussing rooms. You can describe the rest of the house from separate records. Avoid extending the exterior label to an interior arrangement that nobody has reviewed.

This guide concerns project-page writing. It supplies no historical definition of Cape Cod architecture. Do not use its worksheet to decide whether a house belongs to that style. An unresolved attribution needs a responsible project reviewer and applicable evidence before it becomes public wording.

Choose a specific exterior relationship to explain beneath the label. You might discuss where a roof projection appears relative to an entrance. That is a possible observation, not a defining feature. Use the feature present in your approved source rather than importing a familiar image of the style.

The [cottage project-page guide](/articles/positioning/cottage-home-project-page-content/) handles another recorded style and its exterior details. Keep each project's approved terminology. A similar photograph does not make cottage and Cape Cod interchangeable labels for the same source.

## How do the front view and floor plan answer different questions?

Separate exterior form from room use. A front photograph can support a caption about visible parts of that front. It cannot establish the use of a space behind the roof. Find the corresponding plan before describing an upper room, a landing or a connection between levels.

For each roof-space statement, identify the record that connects the visible exterior with the interior. A matching plan may establish a named room's location. If the proposed sentence concerns the room's relationship to the roof, ask the project reviewer which additional drawing supports that relationship.

| Buyer question | Useful project record | Limit to preserve |
| --- | --- | --- |
| What does the front show? | Identified front photograph or approved elevation | Describe visible form without assigning concealed room use. |
| Which rooms occupy each level? | Matching approved room plan | Use recorded room names and level labels. |
| How does a room relate to the roof? | Project drawing confirmed for that relationship | Leave geometry and usable space unresolved without applicable evidence. |
| Was the depicted space completed? | Current project status and scope records | A concept drawing does not establish completed work. |
| Could another buyer request this layout? | Current plan-use and option records | A project example establishes no future offering. |

Read the room plan using its own level names. If it says upper level, keep that wording in your brief. Avoid replacing it with an assumed story count or architectural shorthand. Record each room separately when the source identifies different uses on the same level.

Distinguish room location from room suitability. A label on a plan does not establish a household's needs, access conditions or future conversion scope. Keep the public explanation descriptive. Route technical questions about the space to the responsible project professional.

Check that the front view and room plan represent the same project version. If a roof change appears in one source only, hold the connecting sentence. Describe the confirmed exterior separately while the reviewer resolves the mismatch. Do not combine drawings merely because their filenames share a project folder.

The [plan library guide](/articles/builder-websites/plan-library-pages/) explains the difference between a current starting plan and a completed example. Apply the appropriate status here. Neither a Cape Cod label nor a published room plan establishes that a design is available for reuse.

## How should you complete the Cape Cod project worksheet?

Use this proposed editorial worksheet in your private project notes. AgAI Labs offers the fields as a writing aid, not an official design requirement. Complete one entry for each relationship you intend to explain. Preserve unknown where the source leaves a question open.

| Field | What to enter |
| --- | --- |
| Approved label | [Exact Cape Cod wording, approving role and scope] |
| Exterior reference | [Identified view, source revision and depicted project status] |
| Roof-space record | [Source connecting the roof area to the described space, or unknown] |
| Room level | [Recorded room name and level, or unknown] |
| Documented project choice | [Specific relationship approved for public explanation] |
| Unresolved attribution | [Missing label scope, source match or responsibility] |

In exterior reference, identify the actual view rather than writing photos. In roof-space record, identify the drawing that supports the connection you want to make. These entries serve different purposes. A file can be useful for the exterior caption while leaving room use unanswered.

Use room level for the source's wording. Keep documented project choice focused on what the reader can understand from that wording. For example, record a supported room location rather than a broad claim about flexible living. Leave dimensions out when the source supplies none.

Use unresolved attribution to preserve questions about who approved the style term or made the described choice. Confirm responsibilities separately. Publishing a project page does not establish that you authored its design. Public copy can use role descriptions without personal or company names.

1. Retrieve the approved Cape Cod label and its scope.

2. Identify the exterior view used for the caption.

3. Match proposed room statements to the current plan.

4. Check roof-space relationships with the responsible project professional.

5. Separate confirmed choices from unresolved room questions.

6. Approve the wording and clear the intended public material.

Keep this completed entry with the source revision used to write it. During the [Positioning stage](/process/positioning/), use it to explain a particular project choice. Do not turn that choice into a claim about every Cape Cod project you accept.

## What can you write when upstairs room use is unknown?

Consider an entirely fictional unnamed project. Its imagined approved brief uses Cape Cod for the exterior. Its front photograph shows a roof projection above the entrance area. No matching upper-level plan is supplied. This example represents no real home, builder offering or completed outcome.

The fictional writer can connect the approved label with that identified front view. The writer cannot call the space behind the projection a bedroom, office or storage area. Those uses remain questions. The worksheet's roof-space record and room-level fields therefore remain unknown.

### A fictional exterior caption

The approved Cape Cod description applies to this exterior. The front photograph shows the roof projection above the entrance area. The photograph does not identify the use of the space behind it.

Keep the plan question separate from that caption: which current drawing identifies the room use and level behind the pictured roof area? Ask the reviewer to match the drawing to the photographed version. Do not suggest an answer in the question itself.

Suppose a later fictional plan identifies a study on the upper level. That new record can support a room-level sentence after review. It still does not establish that the study occupies the photographed projection. Confirm that connection before joining the exterior and interior descriptions.

### A short fictional public-page excerpt

This project's approved Cape Cod label describes the exterior shown in the front view. The reviewed room plan identifies a study on the upper level. The relationship between that room and the pictured roof projection remains outside this description.

Use these excerpts as writing patterns only. Replace them with approved project details before publication. An unknown field does not need a speculative public paragraph. You can omit the unsupported relationship while keeping a useful exterior caption and a separate plan explanation.

The [Colonial project-page guide](/articles/positioning/colonial-home-project-page-content/) addresses composition and room evidence under its own approved label. Its broader terminology does not settle the Cape Cod attribution. Keep the source for this label attached to this project's brief.

## How should the public page explain drawings and revisions?

When a cleared plan image carries essential information, provide the relationships in readable text. The [W3C complex-image tutorial, Overview and Long descriptions](https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/images/complex/) explains short image identification and a fuller text alternative. Apply that approach to the room and level information you are authorized to share.

Start the explanation with the identified view. Then describe the relevant room connections using the same level names as the plan. Keep the exterior caption beside its exterior source. A reader should not need to infer the connection between an unrelated photograph and a room label.

Resolve publication permission before reproducing any drawing. [Copyright Office Circular 41](https://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ41.pdf) distinguishes an architectural work from its technical drawing. The circular grants no permission for your particular plan. Keep private or uncleared drawings in controlled records and publish only cleared wording and material.

If the plan revision changes room use, review that room sentence and its caption together. Retain unaffected exterior wording when its source remains current. Within the [positioning article library](/articles/positioning/), this keeps the explanation tied to the specific choice rather than a broad style promise.

The paired [Georgian elevation guide](/articles/positioning/georgian-home-project-page-content/) separates an approved facade label from interior circulation. Use it for that distinct project question. Keep this Cape Cod page focused on exterior form, roof-space evidence and room use by level.

## What else should a Cape Cod project page clarify?

### Does a Cape Cod label establish upstairs bedrooms?

A Cape Cod project label does not establish upstairs bedrooms. Use the matching approved room plan for room use by level. A front photograph can support exterior observations while leaving the rooms behind the roof unidentified.

### Can the page describe a standard Cape Cod floor plan?

A Cape Cod project page should describe the recorded layout of its featured project. Do not present that layout as a standard floor plan. Current plan and scope records must support any statement about what another buyer can request.

### Should an uncertain roof-space connection appear in a caption?

Keep an uncertain roof-space connection out of the Cape Cod exterior caption. Describe the confirmed visible feature. Ask the responsible project reviewer which drawing connects that feature to a named interior space before publishing the relationship.

### Must the page reproduce its room plan?

A Cape Cod project page can explain cleared room and level relationships in text. Resolve publication permission before reproducing the plan itself. An approved style label supplies no right to publish the underlying drawing.
