Smith & Vansant Architects PC This house has a mix of both casements and double hung windows. The majority of windows in this image are double hung windows. We tend to opt for casement windows over kitchen counters where it is difficult to operate the sash while leaning over a counter. This house is heated with radiant heat, taking advantage of the boiler upgrade and there is no central air.
odessaw I have a similar house. I am redoing the kitchen and entire first floor. I down to the trim. What would b simple, elegant and appropriate for a cape house> i am referring to trim around new Fr. doors, a casement window and all interior crown molding and windows. Thank you!
Smith & Vansant Architects PC Sounds like you could benefit from hiring an architect to draw your spaces with a specific trim package which works with your aesthetic. Good luck with your project.
bepsf You can contact the architect directly - but don't be surprised if they decline as they often don't share custom house designs that their clients have paid for.
Smith & Vansant Architects PC Hello,
I am sorry, our homes are custom designs created to specifically integrate our client's programmatic requirement with their particular site. Our policy has been to not release drawings to protect both the clients privacy and our hard work.
Hope that helps!
Wondering where the metal roofing came from on this house...specifically company and color. We are building a farmhouse looking home and it will have some metal roofs. I like the color and look of this one. »
Charming old homes come with their own host of maintenance issues, but they make up for it in appeal. This house had a lot of problems typical of an older home, including water in the basement; Smith and her client went to great lengths to preserve the antique home. "The client came to me to help her renovate the kitchen and gain more functional space, like laundry," Smith says. "The project snowballed from there."Roof: "Englert Kynar Ultra-Cool Low Gloss" metal roof in a matte black finish.
Element: Shutters and window boxes. The overall simplicity of the structures makes them ripe for exterior enhancements like operable shutters and window boxes. How to make it your own: Shutters and window boxes cheer up the facade of any home, regardless of its style. Both are simple improvements to curb appeal.
Also, what kind of heat does this home have? Any central air?
Thank you!
