2013 CHRYSALIS AWARD SOUTH REGION WINNER, RESIDENTIAL EXTERIOR This 1970’s split-level single-family home in an upscale Arlington neighborhood had been neglected for years. With his surrounding neighbors all doing major exterior and interior remodeling, however, the owner decided it was time to renovate his property as well. After several consultation meetings with the design team at Michael Nash Design, Build & Homes, he settled on an exterior layout to create an Art & Craft design for the home. It all got started by excavating the front and left side of the house and attaching a wrap-around stone porch. Key design attributes include a black metal roof, large tapered columns, blue and grey random style flag stone, beaded stain ceiling paneling and an octagonal seating area on the left side of this porch. The front porch has a wide stairway and another set of stairs leads to the back yard. All exterior walls of homes were modified with new headers to allow much larger custom-made windows, new front doors garage doors, and French side and back doors. A custom-designed mahogany front door with leaded glass provides more light and offers a wider entrance into the home’s living area. Design challenges included removing the entire face of the home and then adding new insulation, Tyvek and Hardiplank siding. The use of high-efficiency low-e windows makes the home air tight. The Arts & Crafts design touches include the front gable over the front porch, the prairie-style grill pattern on the windows and doors, the use of tapered columns sitting over stone columns and the leaded glass front door. Decorative exterior lighting provides the finishing touches to this look.

Designed with views in mind, a total of 100 feet of glass look out to Lake Michigan. The symmetry of the back of Kearney Hill creates the perfect outdoor space – with two identical porches flanking the living room. With Phantom Screens recessed into the unique round tapered columns, both porches can be entirely screened in at the touch of a button - or retract to completely preserve the breathtaking views.

The porch area integrates Phantom motorized screens perfectly into its tapered columns, protecting the outdoor seating area from pests. What's best is the screens disappear out of sight into the porch at the touch of a button! Photo Credit: Ashley Avila Photography

Cast concrete dining table. Legs are 1" x 3" steel tube welded with a 7 degree taper. The concrete top is cast with this same angle, creating a subtle octagonal shape. The 3" thick concrete sides are also tapered to continue the angle to the base. This version is 7' x 3', and seats 6-8 people, but is can be created in any size. ConcretePete LLC 2014
