Connecting spaces upstairs

This exterior image shows how the original three-window shed dormer was extended to allow access to the upstairs addition. The carved out porch provides a beautiful connection to the newly renovated landscape.

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.
However, this home has been recently published in This Old House Magazine April 2013 edition and there are crude floorplans in there.
Hope that helps!

lillerly Hi. Do you happen to know if the Englert roofing used on this home is Series A1300? We are trying to find a standing seam metal roof that appears "flat, without ridges" between the seams, which in this photo looks like is the case. Any specific info is greatly appreciated.

Smith & Vansant Architects PC Hello,
Standing seam metal roofs, by definition include a seam. I believe the seam on this roof stands up approximately an inch and a half and that corresponds to the A1300 series specifications. You can find more information at: http://www.englertinc.com/architectural-metal-roof-systems/
Hope that helps!

What Houzz contributors are saying:
It's hard to believe that the stone walls were newly built. They are composed of stones from reclaimed walls.
added by Beth Woodson and Kristy Harvey to Classic White Clapboard Shows Timeless Charm
Asphalt and slate are great, but there's nothing like the pitter-patter of raindrops on a tin roof. The darker colors look fabulous on white clapboard houses but can pose an energy problem when it comes to summer air conditioning. We love how Smith & Vansant turned the perceived problem into an advantage by adding solar panels, making this house gorgeously white and green.
Standing-Seam Metal RoofPros: Extremely durable, long lasting, light reflective and fully recyclable, metal roofs are a great investment for anyone — not just green homeowners. You can ramp up the green factor by choosing a metal roof made with recycled content and in a lighter color.Cons: More expensive than asphalt shingles (though less than copper and slate), a standing-seam metal roof is a bigger investment up front. Also, homeowners in areas with heavy snowfall must include a plan for dealing with snow — it slides right off metal roofs, potentially creating huge drifts around the perimeter of the house.The Advantages of a Metal Roof
