This is a classic southern style cottage nestled on a wooded lot with a screened in porch, operable shutters on large windows with transoms. The roof is stylishly detailed with open rafter tails and decorative roof brackets. The Old Chicago Brick skirt adds a classic look. The cottage has a detached carport and storage shed with a covered walkway and an outdoor kitchen and living area. It was built by Achee Properties and designed by Bob Chatham Custom Home Design.

We renovated the exterior and the 4-car garage of this colonial, New England-style estate in Haverford, PA. The 3-story main house has white, western red cedar siding and a green roof. The detached, 4-car garage also functions as a gentleman’s workshop. Originally, that building was two separate structures. The challenge was to create one building with a cohesive look that fit with the main house’s New England style. Challenge accepted! We started by building a breezeway to connect the two structures. The new building’s exterior mimics that of the main house’s siding, stone and roof, and has copper downspouts and gutters. The stone exterior has a German shmear finish to make the stone look as old as the stone on the house. The workshop portion features mahogany, carriage style doors. The workshop floors are reclaimed Belgian block brick. RUDLOFF Custom Builders has won Best of Houzz for Customer Service in 2014, 2015 2016 and 2017.

Existing carport was partially enclosed by Eric Harrison Builders in Austin to provide increased privacy, security, and to improved curb appeal. Spanish cedar garage doors feature flush horizontal T&G with flush joint and "dime gap" design which is carried through in the the siding. Doors include high lift and follow the roof pitch track and are operated by LiftMaster model 8500 jackshaft operators to keep the interior space open and airy even when the doors are raised.

A carport dominates a terraced rear garden, but craftsman detailing and landscaping soften the effect. The carport double as a garden entertainment area, with distant San Francisco view.

Photography by Patrick Ray With a footprint of just 450 square feet, this micro residence embodies minimalism and elegance through efficiency. Particular attention was paid to creating spaces that support multiple functions as well as innovative storage solutions. A mezzanine-level sleeping space looks down over the multi-use kitchen/living/dining space as well out to multiple view corridors on the site. To create a expansive feel, the lower living space utilizes a bifold door to maximize indoor-outdoor connectivity, opening to the patio, endless lap pool, and Boulder open space beyond. The home sits on a ¾ acre lot within the city limits and has over 100 trees, shrubs and grasses, providing privacy and meditation space. This compact home contains a fully-equipped kitchen, ¾ bath, office, sleeping loft and a subgrade storage area as well as detached carport.
