This award-winning and intimate cottage was rebuilt on the site of a deteriorating outbuilding. Doubling as a custom jewelry studio and guest retreat, the cottage’s timeless design was inspired by old National Parks rough-stone shelters that the owners had fallen in love with. A single living space boasts custom built-ins for jewelry work, a Murphy bed for overnight guests, and a stone fireplace for warmth and relaxation. A cozy loft nestles behind rustic timber trusses above. Expansive sliding glass doors open to an outdoor living terrace overlooking a serene wooded meadow.

This natural stream restoration project is located in southern Lancaster County, PA. The project consisted of removal of existing deteriorating stream bank supports. We then excavated the banks of the stream to allow for installation of new natural stone retaining walls. The stream was also widened slightly to improve flow and help prevent future flooding. This was an additional phase of a larger project. Below is some pictures of the stream restoration.

This was a renovation project. Existing lattice was in deteriorated condition and was removed and replaced with 6" cedar boards. Structural elements were also repaired or replaced. The boards were stained in Cabot's Exterior Wood Stain in Cordovan Brown. The structural elements were stained black to offer contrast.
Additionally, the existing cedar shed was moved and repositioned to better align with the carport. The siding of the carport was extended to prevent the owner's dog from exploring behind the shed. Better photos to come!

As with many homes built at the turn of the last century, many line voltage carriage lights may no longer work because the underground wiring has been cut or has deteriorated over time. At this home along the 6th Avenue Parkway in Denver, we replaced the existing carriage lights that were broken with our low voltage copper and brass fixtures. To diffuse the light and prevent glare, notice how the bulb is surrounded by a frosted hurricane lamp shade. (Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Colorado)
