Lighthouse Contracting GroupThe goal was to build a carriage house with space for guests, additional vehicles and outdoor furniture storage. The exterior design would match the main house.
Special features of the outbuilding include a custom pent roof over the main overhead door, fir beams and bracketry, copper standing seam metal roof, and low voltage LED feature lighting. A thin stone veneer was installed on the exterior to match the main house.
Absolute Garage Doors LLCThese specialty carriage garage doors truly mimic the old world carriage house style garage doors with a wider window section. While most carriage house doors have a wood grain surface, these doors have a smooth, like painted wood, door.

Stebnitz Builders, Inc.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.

FINNE ArchitectsThe Mazama Cabin is located at the end of a beautiful meadow in the Methow Valley, on the east slope of the North Cascades Mountains in Washington state. The 1500 SF cabin is a superb place for a weekend get-a-way, with a garage below and compact living space above. The roof is “lifted” by a continuous band of clerestory windows, and the upstairs living space has a large glass wall facing a beautiful view of the mountain face known locally as Goat Wall. The project is characterized by sustainable cedar siding and
recycled metal roofing; the walls and roof have 40% higher insulation values than typical construction.
The cabin will become a guest house when the main house is completed in late 2012.
Bell+Associates Architecture Inc.With almost 180-degree views, the main living area of this spectacular waterfront home sits high on a bluff and welcomes views of the lake from the east, south and west. Currently under construction, this home has three distinct annexes: a main living/eating area; a section with the main bedroom suite and 3 spacious guest bedrooms; and, a 2-level garage offering plentiful storage. The entire home is designed to capture the views and fill the interior with light. The garage and mudroom are linked with a screened bridge and a foyer with soaring windows on three levels links the great room/kitchen/dining area with the bedrooms. Off the main living area, an expansive wrap-around deck (covered off the kitchen for outdoor cooking) and screened room with a fireplace provide outdoor living and entertaining space during all types of weather. Walking bridges welcome guests to the front covered entry and allow easy access to the wrap-around deck.
