A new, large porch area with curved steps, walkway and driveway were formed, poured and stamped. Deck Dots lights were embedded in the concrete. We matched the existing perimeter trim and brickwork. Where the shingles were removed from the dormer we used a torch to blacken the new shingles to match. Tongue and groove cedar with a marine varnish sealer was used on the ceiling. The beams are douglas fir. The brackets are from the Simpson Architectural Series. The new entry is a welcoming addition to the new home. Open Door Productions, Matt Francis

This handsome all white brick two-story home with a three car garage was constructed on our client’s property in Flowery Branch GA. The exterior of the home features ornamental wooden gable and roof brackets as well as a three-window dormer. The front entrance, with it glass double-doors, allows ample natural lighting into the foyer. The foyer leads to a formal office on the left with a glass paneled barn-door style opening. On the right of the foyer is a formal dining room with a craftsman style tray ceiling and a wood-inlaid designer wall. There are hardwood floors throughout the home. The family room features an exposed beam coffered ceiling and a stone fireplace flanked by built-in cabinets and bookshelves. The family room flows through to the kitchen with its designer cabinets and expansive island, which is suitable for both food preparation and a seating area. The horizontal double-oven and the six-burner stove have the convenience of a pot filler for gourmet cooking. The pantry has an exceptional amount of shelves and sliding baskets for storage. The master bedroom has a sitting area, tray ceiling, personal refrigerator and wet bar. The exquisite master bath includes a soaking tub, separate walk-in shower, his-and-hers vanity and a water closet. The massive master closet was designed with bountiful hanging and shelf space as well as a closet island and a fully lit dressing mirror. The home was built on a full basement which has interior walls and utilities roughed in for future expansion. This area also includes two more parking garage stalls. The outdoor living space provides many hosting and entertainment options with its covered patio and outdoor fireplace as well as the in-ground pool and hot tub.

Many recent renovations had already taken place at this phenomenal old Tudor home. The kitchen redo was saved for last. Our mission, imposed by our client, was to create a jaw-dropping, ultra-functional space for family and friends to gather in for years to come. Naturally, the new kitchen would have to reflect the style of the home seamlessly. One challenge was to incorporate very large professional style appliances into the space while keeping the feel of a stately, yet warm home. Custom wood panels were designed for the refrigerator units to give a furniture feel. A copper hood was designed to bring in an old world element. Wood panels were applied to all other appliances – two dishwashers, a wine refrigerator, and a beverage refrigerator. An iron I-beam that separated the original kitchen from the butler’s pantry and back entry was covered in wood with chamfers to match the other ceiling beams in the home by a local woodworker. Due to the age of the home, the outside walls are concrete block. This necessitated chiseling troughs into the concrete for electrical wiring. Ceilings were studded randomly, so finding openings for recessed lighting was hit or miss. A large cluster of wiring and plumbing to the second floor had to be hidden behind cabinetry to the left of and above the refrigerators. HVAC wasn’t straight forward either. Toe kick heaters from the old kitchen had to be replaced with other sources. A propane tank had to be added to fuel the large dual fuel, double oven range. The homeowner wanted to add a walk-in pantry for extra storage, so space was taken from an existing exterior space. This created the need for extra insulation, supplemental heat and added lighting. Needless to say, mechanicals were a big challenge. Natural stone was added in backsplash areas to the ceiling to mimic the rectangular stone on the exterior of the home. Wood panels fill the backsplash areas under wall cabinets. Large chandeliers light the space. Open shelves at the wet bar/prep area offer convenient storage for grab and go service items. A built-in pantry with antique mirrored mullion doors hides a microwave, several other small appliances as well as dishes and food items. This pantry was tucked into an alcove for an added architectural element. Herringbone wood floors are classic and timeless. Wrought iron hardware and shelf brackets fit right in. Large Barley twist legs ground the island giving a nod to the Tudor style. Mission accomplished. Matt Villano Photography

New cedar pergola with 10" x 10" posts and beams. The corner braces and brackets that tie the pergola to the home are powder coated. Exterior lighting is high output LED with a dimmer switch. Out door ceiling fans are controlled by a separate switch. Hot tub is located on a level part of the stamped & stained concrete.

Outbuildings grow out of their particular function and context. Design maintains unity with the main house and yet creates interesting elements to the outbuildings itself, treating it like an accent piece.

Kettle River detailed and supplied all the exterior timberwork (brackets, posts, railings and corbels) for this 11,000 sq. ft. Tudor mansion. 3D modeling and CNC machining facilitated pre-fabrication of all the intricate components. Expectations for wood quality and workmanship on this $26 million home was very demanding. All timbers were radio-frequency dried to ensure dimensional stability. Photo Credit: Dom Koric
