Detached over sized garage with 2nd floor home office

The carport features cedar beams, T&G ceilings and stone column bases.

This East Troy home on Booth Lake had a few drainage issues that needed to be resolved, but one thing was clear, the homeowners knew with the proper design features, their property had amazing potential to be a fixture on the lake. Starting with a redesign of the backyard, including retaining walls and other drainage features, the home was then ready for a radical facelift. We redesigned the entry of the home with a timber frame portico/entryway. The entire portico was built with the old-world artistry of a mortise and tenon framing method. We also designed and installed a new deck and patio facing the lake, installed an integrated driveway and sidewalk system throughout the property and added a splash of evening effects with some beautiful architectural lighting around the house. A Timber Tech deck with Radiance cable rail system was added off the side of the house to increase lake viewing opportunities and a beautiful stamped concrete patio was installed at the lower level of the house for additional lounging. Lastly, the original detached garage was razed and rebuilt with a new design that not only suits our client’s needs, but is designed to complement the home’s new look. The garage was built with trusses to create the tongue and groove wood cathedral ceiling and the storage area to the front of the garage. The secondary doors on the lakeside of the garage were installed to allow our client to drive his golf cart along the crushed granite pathways and to provide a stunning view of Booth Lake from the multi-purpose garage.

We built this Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (DADU) for a customer with a thriving AirBnB business in Lockeland Springs in east Nashville. The oversized two car garage allows the customer to park two SUVs and a scooter for guests easily. Garrett Buell

Lovely attached garage offer, metal seam roofing with matching gutters, batten board siding with carriage garage detailing.

The detail on the roof overhang and garage doors make this a lovely part of the home, rather than something hidden away in the back. The architectural details are stunning. Urban barn look bronze lighting highlights the doors and keeps you safe.
