Once again you see the rusted metal siding close up with the large clavos that give it an industrial riveted look, along with the drystack stone facade which is part of the modern rustic look that is popular today. You see these riveted panels in my original design elevations and plans.

Imagine a situation where you love to cook but your dinning room is too small and there is not room to expand the area. This Sedona addition and kitchen remodel project solved the problem by converting the existing two car garage into a magnificent dining room and by building a detached garage in another location on the lot. A new roof pitch was added to the old garage to give the interior a vaulted dining room feel, and to make the exterior match the existing architecture of the main house. An enclosed patio is added to the dinning room addtion for the outdoor experience. The detached two car garage is designed with an offset between the two car spaces for two reasons; first, to make it visually interesting and secondly to accommodate the tight property set back conditions. A breakfast nook was also added next to the kitchen to give the home an intimate dining area when large dinner parties were not needed. The kitchen was also updated to please the chef and give the home it's final touch of elegance. Sustainable Sedona Residential Design
