Santa Cruz, CA - This custom architectural garage door and gate project in the Northern California area was designed in a Spanish Colonial style and crafted by hand to capture that charming appeal of old world door craftsmanship found throughout Europe. The custom home was exquisitely built without sparing a single detail that would engulf the Spanish Colonial authentic architectural design. Beautiful, hand-selected terracotta roof tiles and white plastered walls just like in historical homes in Colonial Spain were used for this home construction, not to mention the wooden beam detailing particularly on the bay window above the garage. All these authentic Spanish Colonial architectural elements made this home the perfect backdrop for our custom Spanish Colonial Garage Doors and Gates.

This home was in bad shape when we started the design process, but with a lot of hard work and care, we were able to restore all original windows, siding, & railing. A new quarter light front door ties in with the home's craftsman style.
This cottage designed and built in the vernacular of a Pennsylvania Farmhouse is 100% solar. A 4.2kW solar electric system (concealed on dormer roof), radiant floors heated with solar hot water, passive solar design applications for heating, cooling and daylighting, make this home, tight and quiet. Fresh air intakes, light tubes, partially earth sheltered and with a high performance building shell:(sips panels, double framed walls, closed cell soy and cellulose insulation, airsealing etc.), interspersed with salvaged/antique materials and timber-framing, add to the patina of the 1700's. Open and communicative interiors with good traffic patterns and livability are anchored to the pastoral site this guest cottage stands firmly planted on as a net energy exporter.
The sum is a Common Sense simplicity in a high performance reproduction home.
P.S. Working with clients that allow us this expression in our work is a wonderful experience. The interior design, including the kitchen, bathrooms and flooring selection, was done by the owner who is a professional Interior Decorator in the Boyertown area. kitchen

This house has no windows on the front facade. The roof is low with a low pitch. The horizontal lines give it a relaxed and Zen like appeal.

This home was inspired by the idea of a French cottage in the countryside. The unique roofline paired with the wood work and stone allows this home to be a focal point in this neighborhood.
