For the exterior of this home, the builder and I worked to make the original farmhouse plan, more modern. We added the metal accents on the roof lines, and on the beams. We then chose to stain the beams a weathered gray to tie in with the house color. For the front door, I chose to go with a dutch door to keep the traditional farmhouse feel going. We stained it the same color as the rest of the exterior wood accents.

Here is an architecturally built house from the early 1970's which was brought into the new century during this complete home remodel by adding a garage space, new windows triple pane tilt and turn windows, cedar double front doors, clear cedar siding with clear cedar natural siding accents, clear cedar garage doors, galvanized over sized gutters with chain style downspouts, standing seam metal roof, re-purposed arbor/pergola, professionally landscaped yard, and stained concrete driveway, walkways, and steps.

For this metal roof install in Langhorne, PA, we installed a standing seam metal roof on the homeowners second home. Metal was a great call especially with the low slope, flatter portion of the roof. Metal aids in ice, snow, and water management, meaning fewer leaks and moisture-related damage. Metal also boosts energy efficiency and overall durability, making this new roof the ideal upgrade from the previous asphalt.

Not all metal roofs look the same, this is a unique spin on metal roofing. A Metro Shake stone coated steel roof has become a preferred choice for customers who want that wood shake look in a life time product.

Architect: Michelle Penn, AIA This barn home is modeled after an existing Nebraska barn in Lancaster County. Heating is by passive solar design, supplemented by a geothermal radiant floor system. Cooling uses a whole house fan and a passive air flow system. The passive system is created with the cupola, windows, transoms and passive venting for cooling, rather than a forced air system. Because fresh water is not available from a well nor county water, water will be provided by rainwater harvesting. The water will be collected from a gutter system, go into a series of nine holding tanks and then go through a water filtration system to provide drinking water for the home. A greywater system will then recycle water from the sinks and showers to be reused in the toilets. Low-flow fixtures will be used throughout the home to conserve water.
