New standing seam metal roof in place, along with new entry/mud room addition. Next step is to complete the landscaping: reorient the stairs and solve the 'problem' of the slopped / step down into the house.

Example of a minimalist exterior home design in San Luis Obispo

As you approach the home, the two barn-like volumes reveal themselves as distinct spaces. The public and private functions of a house are split between the two volumes – the kitchen, living, and dining areas are housed in one open-concept building, and the bedrooms and bathrooms are located in the other. They are linked together by a glassy hallway. The front entry is recessed in the main volume, and concealed by a large barn door that slides shut to offer protection from the elements when the family is away.

Mid-sized rustic brown one-story wood and board and batten house exterior idea in DC Metro with a shed roof, a metal roof and a gray roof

Rustic yet refined, this modern country retreat blends old and new in masterful ways, creating a fresh yet timeless experience. The structured, austere exterior gives way to an inviting interior. The palette of subdued greens, sunny yellows, and watery blues draws inspiration from nature. Whether in the upholstery or on the walls, trailing blooms lend a note of softness throughout. The dark teal kitchen receives an injection of light from a thoughtfully-appointed skylight; a dining room with vaulted ceilings and bead board walls add a rustic feel. The wall treatment continues through the main floor to the living room, highlighted by a large and inviting limestone fireplace that gives the relaxed room a note of grandeur. Turquoise subway tiles elevate the laundry room from utilitarian to charming. Flanked by large windows, the home is abound with natural vistas. Antlers, antique framed mirrors and plaid trim accentuates the high ceilings. Hand scraped wood flooring from Schotten & Hansen line the wide corridors and provide the ideal space for lounging.

Using a variety of hardscaping materials (wood, tile, rock, gravel and concrete) creates movement and interest in the landscape. The accordion doors on the left side of the tiled patio open completely--and in two different directions--thus opening the secondary dwelling unit entirely to the outdoors.

Natural wood adorns the two-car garage and entry wall in this Mid-Century Modern home. Opaque glass in the garage doors allow light inside but hide the contents. Concrete slabs divided by rock allow for movement between the street, home, garage and courtyard without creating a monolith of pavement. As the site is a parallelogram, the garage is canted toward the house in order to accommodate county set-backs.
