Portsmouth™ Shake & Shingles siding gives you beautiful form and function plus real color, texture and shape options—whether you choose Cedar, Cedar V-Pro™ Series, Hand-Split Shake, Perfection, Staggered Edge or Half Round styles. You’ll end up with siding that eliminates maintenance and stops traffic, and a home exterior with depth and emotion. (Thumbnail shown in Country Beige)

Maintaining disciplined restraint, the palette of materials for each façade is limited to cedar shakes and stone, yet the variety of forms is evocative and dazzling.

Example of a classic exterior home design in New York

The garage is a free stranding carriage house, appropriate for the era of the house. The structure has a dormered loft on the second level as well as a very large wood bin on one side and a potting/storage shed on the other.

MEB Architects Ltd: This eclectic French Country residence, on the shores of Lake Michigan, had its beginnings as a contemporary 1980s ranch home. Honoring the client’s love for French Architecture, this renovation completed its transformation by incorporating surgically placed additions, such as the steeply-pitched main gable, tower, side turret, and breezeway. The new stucco façade with stone quoins creates authenticity, yet relates well to the existing brickwork. We accented the windows with Adler blue-painted shutters and a warm, cedar shake roof which allows the home to coexist beautifully in its wooded lakefront setting.
