A front entry that was designed to look like a 'forgotten chateau courtyard. The design actually solved issues left over from a renovation that limited the amount of lot coverage that was left for impervious coverage in the landscape.

Reverse Shed Eichler This project is part tear-down, part remodel. The original L-shaped plan allowed the living/ dining/ kitchen wing to be completely re-built while retaining the shell of the bedroom wing virtually intact. The rebuilt entertainment wing was enlarged 50% and covered with a low-slope reverse-shed roof sloping from eleven to thirteen feet. The shed roof floats on a continuous glass clerestory with eight foot transom. Cantilevered steel frames support wood roof beams with eaves of up to ten feet. An interior glass clerestory separates the kitchen and livingroom for sound control. A wall-to-wall skylight illuminates the north wall of the kitchen/family room. New additions at the back of the house add several “sliding” wall planes, where interior walls continue past full-height windows to the exterior, complimenting the typical Eichler indoor-outdoor ceiling and floor planes. The existing bedroom wing has been re-configured on the interior, changing three small bedrooms into two larger ones, and adding a guest suite in part of the original garage. A previous den addition provided the perfect spot for a large master ensuite bath and walk-in closet. Natural materials predominate, with fir ceilings, limestone veneer fireplace walls, anigre veneer cabinets, fir sliding windows and interior doors, bamboo floors, and concrete patios and walks.

Example of a mountain style entryway design in Austin

This 2-story modern home with a predominant shed roof and diagonal cedar siding was built in the late 1980’s. The front porch had settled and was in need of repair. The front porch “repair” became the basis for a new front facade facelift. The addition of a gable over the garage, natural stone at the entry and Arts & Crafts era inspired detailing erased the homes modern 80’s styling. Extended rakes with large fascia boards and brackets harken to homes of the past and add authentic detail. Updated landscaping and new paint contribute to the inviting new feel.
