PROJECT PORTFOLIO
| Private Residence |
| These “before” pictures point out two major problems with the house. The flat Mansard roof did not allow rainwater to run off, giving the homeowners numerous problems with leaks and water damage. Less destructive but still troubling was the “front” door, which was actually on the side of the house and opened into a dark, awkward split foyer. |
A beautiful new pitched roof solved the home’s water problems, and Craftsman style expression in the design gave the house new character and panache. Craftsman touches include the two-tone cedar siding, the muntins (grids) on the windows, and the charming pergola over the back patio. |
The new 1 ½ story entrance puts the front door back in front where it belongs. The expanse of glass, Craftsman windows, added lighting and bold front walk give the house better curb appeal and make it much more welcoming. |
