K Squared Builders - Dale KramerOriginally a simple log cabin, this farm house had been haphazardly added on to several times over the last century.
Our task: Design/Build a new 2 story master suite/family room addition that blended and mended the "old bones" whilst giving it a sharp new look and feel.
We also rebuilt the dilapidated front porch, completely gutted and remodeled the disjointed 2nd floor including adding a much needed AC system, did some needed structural repairs, replaced windows and added some gorgeous stonework.
Premium Urban DesignCapturing the gorgeous views on your property is something this house plan does very well. The entry takes you into a great room with vaulted ceilings, fireplace and front view windows. Next you walk into the dining room with bay of front view windows and glass doors that open to the large front view deck. The kitchen has a large island and front corner windows. Also on this level is a powder room, laundry room w/ skylight, full bathroom
Cascade West DevelopmentInspired by the majesty of the Northern Lights and this family's everlasting love for Disney, this home plays host to enlighteningly open vistas and playful activity. Like its namesake, the beloved Sleeping Beauty, this home embodies family, fantasy and adventure in their truest form. Visions are seldom what they seem, but this home did begin 'Once Upon a Dream'. Welcome, to The Aurora.
Clark Construction Inc.This 2,400 square foot contemporary farmhouse was designed by island architect Mark Olason and built by Clark as a spec home, and has the same level of unique, quality features found in all our custom residential work. The dramatic exterior features Hardie Panel siding, tight knot cedar trim, and sand finish concrete. The tight knot cedar is also used for the channel siding encasing the outdoor seating area. Inside, hardwood floors, durable tuftex carpet, and extensive tilework can be found throughout. Quartz countertops and Bertazzoni appliances complete the kitchen.
MarvinThe owner’s goal was to create a lifetime family home using salvaged materials from an antique farmhouse and barn that had stood on another portion of the site. The timber roof structure, as well as interior wood cladding, and interior doors were salvaged from that house, while sustainable new materials (Maine cedar, hemlock timber and steel) and salvaged cabinetry and fixtures from a mid-century-modern teardown were interwoven to create a modern house with a strong connection to the past. Integrity® Wood-Ultrex® windows and doors were a perfect fit for this project. Integrity provided the only combination of a durable, thermally efficient exterior frame combined with a true wood interior.
The McKernon GroupThis barn addition was accomplished by dismantling an antique timber frame and resurrecting it alongside a beautiful 19th century farmhouse in Vermont.
What makes this property even more special, is that all native Vermont elements went into the build, from the original barn to locally harvested floors and cabinets, native river rock for the chimney and fireplace and local granite for the foundation. The stone walls on the grounds were all made from stones found on the property.
The addition is a multi-level design with 1821 sq foot of living space between the first floor and the loft. The open space solves the problems of small rooms in an old house.
The barn addition has ICFs (r23) and SIPs so the building is airtight and energy efficient.
It was very satisfying to take an old barn which was no longer being used and to recycle it to preserve it's history and give it a new life.
