The shape of the angled porch-roof, sets the tone for a truly modern entryway. This protective covering makes a dramatic statement, as it hovers over the front door. The blue-stone terrace conveys even more interest, as it gradually moves upward, morphing into steps, until it reaches the porch.
Porch Detail
The multicolored tan stone, used for the risers and retaining walls, is proportionally carried around the base of the house. Horizontal sustainable-fiber cement board replaces the original vertical wood siding, and widens the appearance of the facade. The color scheme — blue-grey siding, cherry-wood door and roof underside, and varied shades of tan and blue stone — is complimented by the crisp-contrasting black accents of the thin-round metal columns, railing, window sashes, and the roof fascia board and gutters.
This project is a stunning example of an exterior, that is both asymmetrical and symmetrical. Prior to the renovation, the house had a bland 1970s exterior. Now, it is interesting, unique, and inviting.

The Verde Guatemala Villa Pool Project presents a sophisticated design that blends the natural tones of green with the depth of water. The Verde Guatemala series used on the pool floor gives the water a serene and refined appearance with its natural stone texture and rich green transitions. Its Low Water Absorption ensures long-lasting use by providing resistance to UV Resistance, chemicals, and thermal shocks. The PTV ≥ 45° Non-slip value creates a safe swimming experience. The Verde Guatemala Scoth Outer Corner and Outer Angle Corner elements used in the transitions provide technical integrity while enhancing the visual continuity of the design. The result is a pool area that is both aesthetically and functionally balanced, in harmony with its natural surroundings.

The owners of the River House are totally into the mid-century style. We added two bedrooms and a bathroom with the same outside appearance as the original house. Hidden behind the wide overhangs and low pitched roofs are thicker insulated walls and ceilings and higher plates that allow storm doors to open outwards without hitting the eaves. We opened up the plan, replacing a large brick fireplace with an efficient Danish wood stove. We replaced wood single pane windows with operable insulated fiberglass windows that were in some places larger than the original. Where wall heights did not allow room for wood headers, we used steel. All of the original portion of the house was sprayed with high density foam, both for thermal performance and to discourage the many rodents that had moved into the cavities from coming back. A lot of the renovation work is hidden. Photos by John Whipple
