The existing split foyer had vinyl siding and a tremendous amount of horizontal lines - a new flagstone walk way and steps were being added with a complete exterior makeover in the beginning stages... After meeting with the client and the landscaper - we realized we needed to develop a covered entry that would really invite you into the home and unify the all work that had been started. The new stone entrance helped you locate the front door but, the exterior finishes did not mesh well; they needed updated. The focal point should be the entry. The split foyer entrance and all the gables definitely created a challenge. The solution: We incorporated exposed cedar beams and exposed cedar roof rafters with a mahogany tongue and groove ceiling to give the entry a warm and different feel. A flag stone walk way anchors the entrance, so we chose to use stone piers to match and large square tapered columns that would support the new entry roof, the covered entry takes shape. Many details are needed to create a proper entry, copper half round gutters with square link copper rain chains are the finishing touches to the grand entry for this home. The exterior siding was changed to a wide exposure cement board siding by the James Hardie company. We used cement shake panels to accent the built out gable areas. The transitions between the siding materials were simplified to achieve a cleaner finished look. New window and door trim, 5/4 x 4 and 5/4 x 6 pvc, complete an almost maintenance free exterior.

Privacy was an issue in this light filled living room so we added top down/bottom up Hunter Douglas Silhouette blinds. The light still bathes the room but no one can see in. Photo credit Francis Lai

Front Elevation: DKA was commissioned to design a custom home that would provide a sense of privacy and security while allowing for a maximum of outdoor living. From the outside, the house appears to be all roof with a blanket of hand split cedar shingles hugging the ground. Beneath the roof, DKA created a world as complex and natural as the outdoors. Divisions between the inside and outside spaces are subtle and constantly shifting. The outside is brought inside at every opportunity through the generous use of natural fieldstone, indoor garden, skylights and glass that makes up 75% of the walls. Natural materials, including wood, stone, brick, and stucco abound.

This homeowner purchased a run down split level home and needed to remodel on a tight budget. For maximum impact we selected black cabinets and black wood floor along with vibrant green walls to create energy and funk to the space. The main counters are marble and the large island is stainless steel for function and budget. The dining table is made of reclaimed wood that looks better with age. By adding eclectic and unique accessories we gave the kitchen/dining area a "wow" factor for little cost! Photo: Aaron Pederson
