Mid-sized contemporary gray one-story mixed siding gable roof idea in Minneapolis

Here you see shutters added. Now you can see what I mean about the window casings. First there is no sill which is required for a visual base. Every window needs this sill. Instead the casing is 6" too thick making it look like flower boxes. You the homeowner needs to understand this so it doesn't happen to you. Here is info on window design you should know to be an educated consumer: http://www.oldhouseguy.com/window-designs/

Michelle's Interiors custom designed this multi-branched chandelier not only to create an illusion of symmetry, but to make it visible from the exterior at night through all the nearby windows. It is a warm and welcoming sight for guests arriving at the home. Photo by Brian Gassel

Traditional white two-story exterior home idea in Nashville with a mixed material roof

Floating shelves that can be lit to enhance the glass art create drama for this 2 story wall. Seating on either side of the fireplace hides children's toys. The fireplace was transformed using white stacked stone. Two story arched window with cornice boxes and sheer curtains

Originally, the front of the house was on the left (eave) side, facing the primary street. Since the Garage was on the narrower, quieter side street, we decided that when we would renovate, we would reorient the front to the quieter side street, and enter through the front Porch. So initially we built the fencing and Pergola entering from the side street into the existing Front Porch. Then in 2003, we pulled off the roof, which enclosed just one large room and a bathroom, and added a full second story. Then we added the gable overhangs to create the effect of a cottage with dormers, so as not to overwhelm the scale of the site. The shingles are stained Cabots Semi-Solid Deck and Siding Oil Stain, 7406, color: Burnt Hickory, and the trim is painted with Benjamin Moore Aura Exterior Low Luster Narraganset Green HC-157, (which is actually a dark blue).

The home is able to achieve passive house standards and take full advantage of the views with the use of Glo’s A7 triple pane windows and doors. The PHIUS (Passive House Institute US) certified series boasts triple pane glazing, a larger thermal break, high-performance spacers, and multiple air-seals. The large picture windows frame the landscape while maintaining comfortable interior temperatures year-round. The strategically placed operable windows throughout the residence offer cross-ventilation and a visual connection to the sweeping views of Utah. The modern hardware and color selection of the windows are not only aesthetically exceptional, but remain true to the mid-century modern design.
