Builder: Falcon Custom Homes Interior Designer: Mary Burns - Gallery Photographer: Mike Buck A perfectly proportioned story and a half cottage, the Farfield is full of traditional details and charm. The front is composed of matching board and batten gables flanking a covered porch featuring square columns with pegged capitols. A tour of the rear façade reveals an asymmetrical elevation with a tall living room gable anchoring the right and a low retractable-screened porch to the left. Inside, the front foyer opens up to a wide staircase clad in horizontal boards for a more modern feel. To the left, and through a short hall, is a study with private access to the main levels public bathroom. Further back a corridor, framed on one side by the living rooms stone fireplace, connects the master suite to the rest of the house. Entrance to the living room can be gained through a pair of openings flanking the stone fireplace, or via the open concept kitchen/dining room. Neutral grey cabinets featuring a modern take on a recessed panel look, line the perimeter of the kitchen, framing the elongated kitchen island. Twelve leather wrapped chairs provide enough seating for a large family, or gathering of friends. Anchoring the rear of the main level is the screened in porch framed by square columns that match the style of those found at the front porch. Upstairs, there are a total of four separate sleeping chambers. The two bedrooms above the master suite share a bathroom, while the third bedroom to the rear features its own en suite. The fourth is a large bunkroom above the homes two-stall garage large enough to host an abundance of guests.

Entryway - traditional entryway idea in Minneapolis

Originally this side patio was simply a barren cement patch that was cold and uninviting (see the BEFORE picture). It has a basic stone and concrete patio floor, with concrete brick walls. There was some natural bamboo behind the wall, but otherwise no plants. The house sits down in to the property, and to get to the front door you have to descend a steep set of stairs. This patio area is one of the first things people see as they descend the stairs to the front door, so we wanted to make it as inviting and cozy as possible. Plus, with all the natural tree coverage, it's a perfect place during hot days to curl up with a book or glass of wine under the shade. Not wanting to spend money on a massive renovation, the goal was to create a cozy niche for both entertaining guests and personal relaxation, reminiscent of an India-meets-Bali exotic retreat. We created something that was organic and natural looking, in harmony with the relaxed environment of Laguna Beach. To keep it budget friendly - and better for the environment - we also opted for recycled and pre-owned items we found on Craiglist and eBay. I chose to first mask the barren concrete walls with an carved wood screen from India, to add depth and interest. I placed two large daybeds with heavily padded cushions in an “L” shape to entice people to curl up and sink in. Rather than opting for a regular square patio table, I found a one-of-a-kind custom oak tree slab table (a fantastic Craiglist find!) that added a beautiful organic feel. The Moroccan lamp I brought back from one of my trips to Marrakech, and it added the perfect personal touch, in addition to personal sacred objects such as an antique Kwan Yin statue (great eBay find), crystals, and shells found at the beach. Finally, various plants were added — including both a satsuma orange tree and grapefruit tree that add lovely bursts of color when in season. And makes for a great quick snack when lounging about!

Our choice was the color bronze in the Screen Eze to beautifully accent the home’s exterior brick pallet façade. Also, in concert with that custom design selection, we also installed an aluminum PCA door in bronze. PCA custom handcrafted aluminum screen doors can enhance any home style. Its classic, sleek open top design allows for unobstructed views of your rear landscape and outdoors while letting natural light in. The heavy duty aluminum frame has added reinforcement on the bottom half of the door. These doors are built to hold up to everyday use, kids and pets. Furthermore, this heavy duty powder-coated aluminum frame will not rot, rust, twist or splinter and aluminum corner keys keep the corners tight to prevent door sag.

Designing the best modern garage doors is just the beginning. Dynamic Garage Door takes fine garage door design to the next level by providing exceptional door quality that will last a lifetime. Contact our Design & Manufacturing Center: (855) 343-3667 When we approach a new project for our garage doors and/or gates we like to spend time with our clients to understand their current envisioned style and to collaborate on improving on their ideal or producing what others can't seem to accomplish. This garage door and gate were designed to parallel the home's horizontal linear siding which was an accent wall the owner wrapped to add interest, depth and contrast to the once Mid Century ranch style house. He envisioned a modern home that stayed true to its unique style without throwing an out of balance project that would otherwise have turned outrageously huge. Dynamic Garage Door was commissioned to handcraft the garage door and gates around the property out of composite materials to incorporate the owner's ideal of building green. The challenge with composite materials is that it is human nature to rely on the natural beauty of wood to soften modern materials such as steel, rock and harsher surfaces. Dynamic Garage Door has in-house artists that use high quality painting products and trade secret techniques to give our clients the best of both worlds. Our modern garage doors offer modern design and usability while radiating that warm energy that radiates throughout a home in absence of real solid wood. Dynamic Garage Door has design and manufacturing options that make our garage doors different to the rest!
