Pull up the driveway and safely park your car inside this country-style carport. Steel columns, with stone and cedar bases, hold up the protective roof. Inside the carport, the ceiling is vaulted thanks to scissor trusses and recessed lighting was added for clear vision when it is dark out. Move the cars to the driveway and you have your own pavilion for all your outdoor gatherings!

This masterpiece is a juxtaposition of geometry and natural materials. The exterior is clad in a semi-transparent black-stained cedar siding. The stain is dark, but still allows the woodgrain to shine through. Three chimneys straddle the peak of the cedar shake roof, their shapes along the roofline forming diamonds and triangles. A chunky-legged pergola welcomes visitors under its repeating arms. Guests enter the home beneath curved oak bandings lining a Richardsonian archway.

The Owner, a skilled metal fabricator and avid custom car owner and creator, needed more space to spread out given his profession and interests. Strouse Davis was tasked with creating this space on the site of his current home. The 2,500 sf building is clad in metal panel and clear cedar siding. The roof form is a unique semi-butterfly semi-shed roof. The roof water drains into an above ground concrete bio-retention planter. To honor his passion in life, large steel beams are exposed and intersect within the space.
