Dwell Design Studio Yes, they are composite concrete columns, 12" top diameter, cut to size. This type of column is load bearing so it is a great choice for this type of application.
Dwell Design Studio Those windows were custom designed for this house and were based on traditional craftsman window designs. They were custom built by Portrait Windows, through Stock Building Supply.
Dwell Design Studio This house was a custom design for a client. And it was driven a great deal by the difficult site, both the size of the site and the topography. But please feel free to contact me and we can discuss what you are looking for.
Dwell Design Studio Those columns are 14" at the base. I find that this dimension works well most of the time. Any thing smaller begins to look too slender.
Manufacturer of your windows - First of all, I love your house! Secondly, I have a 1908 home that I am in the process of working up a remodel. Would you please tell me where you purchased your windows. My windows currently are the same style however, are the original windows and are in dyer need of replacement »
Dwell Design Studio Thank you. We loved designing it. Those windows are Portrait Windows that were supplied by Stock Building Supply. I'm not sure they are making those anymore but they are nice quality wood and composite windows. They were custom made to our design for this house. Good luck!
Victorian. Some features of Victorian houses include a bay window, dentils (moulding around the soffit underneath the roof), large square or round columns, portico (a porch on the main floor), and intricate window mullions. Updates: This house is a streamlined version of the Victorian house with more straight lines, but keeps traditional window details and the front porch element.
love this house!!! our house except NOT craftsman touches and squared columns not round. space under porch at elevations...not solid brick. would be all brick with partial wood columns or brick and siding with column bases being brick
