nancekivell home planning & designEnhancing a home’s exterior curb appeal doesn’t need to be a daunting task. With some simple design refinements and creative use of materials we transformed this tired 1950’s style colonial with second floor overhang into a classic east coast inspired gem. Design enhancements include the following:
• Replaced damaged vinyl siding with new LP SmartSide, lap siding and trim
• Added additional layers of trim board to give windows and trim additional dimension
• Applied a multi-layered banding treatment to the base of the second-floor overhang to create better balance and separation between the two levels of the house
• Extended the lower-level window boxes for visual interest and mass
• Refined the entry porch by replacing the round columns with square appropriately scaled columns and trim detailing, removed the arched ceiling and increased the ceiling height to create a more expansive feel
• Painted the exterior brick façade in the same exterior white to connect architectural components. A soft blue-green was used to accent the front entry and shutters
• Carriage style doors replaced bland windowless aluminum doors
• Larger scale lantern style lighting was used throughout the exterior

K Squared Builders - Dale KramerPuzzling...not really.
Putting puzzles together though is just one way this client plans on using their lovely new screened porch...while enjoying the "bug free" outdoors. A fun "gangway" invites you to cross over from the old deck.
Willow Gates LandscapingTecho-Bloc materials were utilized throughout, as well as locally manufactured copper lighting and LED wall lighting. This project began just before Thanksgiving, and continued until the end of the year. Construction of the patio resumed in March, and landscaping was completed in May after installation of pool fence and a custom designed cedar arbor. All the pillars and retaining walls received a custom tiered cap, adding more architectural detail to this masterpiece of an outdoor living space!

A perfectly proportioned story and a half cottage, the Farfield is full of traditional details and charm. The front is composed of matching board and batten gables flanking a covered porch featuring square columns with pegged capitols. A tour of the rear façade reveals an asymmetrical elevation with a tall living room gable anchoring the right and a low retractable-screened porch to the left.
Inside, the front foyer opens up to a wide staircase clad in horizontal boards for a more modern feel. To the left, and through a short hall, is a study with private access to the main levels public bathroom. Further back a corridor, framed on one side by the living rooms stone fireplace, connects the master suite to the rest of the house. Entrance to the living room can be gained through a pair of openings flanking the stone fireplace, or via the open concept kitchen/dining room. Neutral grey cabinets featuring a modern take on a recessed panel look, line the perimeter of the kitchen, framing the elongated kitchen island. Twelve leather wrapped chairs provide enough seating for a large family, or gathering of friends. Anchoring the rear of the main level is the screened in porch framed by square columns that match the style of those found at the front porch. Upstairs, there are a total of four separate sleeping chambers. The two bedrooms above the master suite share a bathroom, while the third bedroom to the rear features its own en suite. The fourth is a large bunkroom above the homes two-stall garage large enough to host an abundance of guests.
One Room at a Time, Inc.There was no front porch on this existing home. The porch looks like it has belonged on this house since it was originally built, which was the homeowner's preference. All materials are composite with the character of a traditional porch. Turned columns and balusters complete the look.
