Cowart Door SystemsA Craftsman Style door with large square windows, as well as a simulated center post. The center post gives the perception of two doors.
Depending on the width of the garage opening and the desired style this may or may not work for every project.
place architecture:designOur clients wanted to create a room that would bring them closer to the outdoors; a room filled with natural lighting; and a venue to spotlight a modern fireplace.
Early in the design process, our clients wanted to replace their existing, outdated, and rundown screen porch, but instead decided to build an all-season sun room. The space was intended as a quiet place to read, relax, and enjoy the view.
The sunroom addition extends from the existing house and is nestled into its heavily wooded surroundings. The roof of the new structure reaches toward the sky, enabling additional light and views.
The floor-to-ceiling magnum double-hung windows with transoms, occupy the rear and side-walls. The original brick, on the fourth wall remains exposed; and provides a perfect complement to the French doors that open to the dining room and create an optimum configuration for cross-ventilation.
To continue the design philosophy for this addition place seamlessly merged natural finishes from the interior to the exterior. The Brazilian black slate, on the sunroom floor, extends to the outdoor terrace; and the stained tongue and groove, installed on the ceiling, continues through to the exterior soffit.
The room's main attraction is the suspended metal fireplace; an authentic wood-burning heat source. Its shape is a modern orb with a commanding presence. Positioned at the center of the room, toward the rear, the orb adds to the majestic interior-exterior experience.
This is the client's third project with place architecture: design. Each endeavor has been a wonderful collaboration to successfully bring this 1960s ranch-house into twenty-first century living.
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.
