House Raising

A full home design that we have been working on for a few months is now through the permitting process, and construction began a couple of weeks ago. The design process required many meetings with the clients to determine room numbers and sizes, overall architectural style, interior and exterior details, and the multitude of other elements that go into a home design. We looked at the design during the process in previous postings, and here are elevations for the final design.

The Charleston style architecture with two-story, side piazza and faux street entry door are perfect for the narrow, deep lot, and the combination of stucco and siding will be complementary to the other homes on the block.

Rain is never a builder's best friend,

but work did proceed over the past couple of weeks, and the footers and foundation blocks are in place.

Watching a home go from concepts on paper through the final building phases is a complex and fascinating process. It can almost make you wonder how a house ever gets built! Stick around, and we can all find out together.
