The client wanted us to design a new custom house on a tight suburban site that would emulate the style of homes found in their native Ireland. Although they were empty nesters, the home was designed with complete bedroom suites for all of their children’s growing families to come for extended visits. The centerpiece of the home is an open gathering space that links kitchen, family room, breakfast room, and sunroom. The lower level of the home boasts 10’ ceilings for the authentic Irish bar, gaming areas, a home theater, exercise room, a wine cellar, and a large train room to showcase an extensive train set and collection of model trains.

Beautiful roof. Would you tell me the manufacturer and color of the shingles? »
Penza Bailey Architects Without knowing specifics, it is difficult to determine the cause of cracks. Cracking may have to do with the subsurface and settlement. Grade must first be properly compacted below a gravel fill and concrete slab (below the flagstone finish) of sufficient thicknesses and reinforcement for the site conditions.
