The essential importance of connecting a building to its landscape—both visually and physically— is an underlying philosophy in all of my work. This concept is reflected in my garden by the way in which windows and french doors link both the master bedroom and the studio to the private deck that is nestled between them. The notion is further reinforced by the flowering vine-covered trellis that screens the deck from an adjacent property, and by broad steps that lead from the deck to the patio and shade garden below. Overarching birch limbs provide shade and frame views of the valley to the east, while a border of various dense shrubs shields this tiny urban sanctuary from passersby.

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.
