August 12: the dressed house model


Just finished defining more about the exterior portions of the house we're still attempting to get underway which was designed by Timothy West. The original stone wall, the fireplace and concrete slab have previously been noted as being essentially all that remains of the original house...and that it will function as a patio. Just experimenting with one of many options we've looked at as a possible surface to be applied to the slab, Barbara Houghton produced an expanse of a particular version of pavers. We're not necessarily convinced about the colors...at this point simply attempting to examine possible color combinations. Much of the front of the building will consist of a smaller version of stone. The remainder of the siding for the house will most likely be made of horizontally oriented corrugated siding, most exhibiting a slate gray color...with the two areas where decks occur having a terra cotta, the color of which will contrast with the essentially charcoal gray color of the bamboo decking material we've selected. Please don't expect the specific color seen in the pictures to be exact...the printer we have available is far less than accurate and/or consistent. I'm including quite a number of images which will do a better job of conveying what's being planned. We meet later today with Jim Stegman and Mike Studer to work through the details prior to the final drawings. The baby steps are growing larger...
