Walls were removed to enlarge and open kitchen to living space in this 1940/50 ranch home in Woodside. The ceiling was vaulted to match the existing redwood ceilings in the adjacent living space- no easy feat, with the odd angles and sub-standard construction of the existing home. Beauty is not only 'skin-deep' since the sustainable design & green building focused on Home Performance, Systems Approach, and Green Building techniques and processes that you do not see in the photos of the finished space. What you do see are innovative 'Green' materials like Lyptus cabinets, Kirei & stainless steel accents, Quartz Stone counters, Glass Tile backsplash, Low VOC paint. All lighting in the Kitchen and Laundry/Mud room & adjoining Powder Room is either LED or Fluorescent. The only incandescent lighting is in the fixture in the Dining Room seen in the upper left of this photo. There are also fluorescent sconces in the Dining Room area. With proper lighting design, there is plenty of very energy efficient lighting in this beautiful and functional space.

Garage workshop - large transitional attached two-car garage workshop idea in Columbus

What our clients needed: • Create a garden folly that doubles as a well-built shed for crafts and storage. • Size the structure large enough for comfortable storage without dominating the garden. • Discreetly locate the shed in the far corner of the rear yard while maintaining existing trees. • Ensure that the structure is protected from the weather and carefully detailed to deter access of wildlife and rodents. FUNCTION • Construct the shed slab close to grade to permit easy access for bicycle storage, while building shed walls above grade to ensure against termites and dryrot. • Install a French door and operable casement windows to admit plenty of daylight and provide views to the garden. • Include rugged built-in work bench, shelves, bike racks and tool storage for a rustic well-organized and efficient space. • Incorporate GFIC electrical service for safe access to power at this distant corner of the yard. • Position energy-efficient interior lighting to ensure space can be used year-round. • Switch control of exterior light from house and from shed for ease of command. AESTHETICS • Design and detail the shed to coordinate with the Arts and Crafts style house. • Include an arbor for future flowering vines, further softening the shed’s garden presence. • Simple and rustic interior surfaces ensure that the space is easy to clean. • Create an aged and softly weathered appearance, and protect the exterior siding by finishing the cedar with a custom-colored semi-transparent stain. INNOVATIVE MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION • Factory-built components were pre-assembled to allow for a speedy assembly and for a shorter on-site construction schedule. • Each component was easily transported through the yard without disturbing garden features. • Decorative exterior trim frames the door and windows, while a simpler trim is used inside the unadorned shed. OBSTACLE OVERCOME • The structure is located in the corner of the yard to avoid disturbance of a curly willow tree. • The low-profile structure is positioned close to property lines while staying beneath the allowable daylight plane for structures. • To comply with daylight plane close to fence, the roof form combines hip and gable forms, with door located at gable end. • The height of the modest interior is maximized, without exceeding the allowable building height. CRAFTSMANSHIP • The concrete slab was precisely formed and finished for ease of shed assembly before the factory-built components were delivered to site. • Precision planning meant the pre-framed door fit exactly between raised concrete curb.
