Designed in 1970 for an art collector, the existing referenced 70’s architectural principles. With its cadence of ‘70’s brick masses punctuated by a garage and a 4-foot-deep entrance recess. This recess, however, didn’t convey to the interior, which was occupied by disjointed service spaces. To solve, service spaces are moved and reorganized in open void in the garage. (See plan) This also organized the home: Service & utility on the left, reception central, and communal living spaces on the right. To maintain clarity of the simple one-story 70’s composition, the second story add is recessive. A flex-studio/extra bedroom and office are designed ensuite creating a slender form and orienting them front to back and setting it back allows the add recede. Curves create a definite departure from the 70s home and by detailing it to "hover like a thought" above the first-floor roof and mentally removable sympathetic add.Existing unrelenting interior walls and a windowless entry, although ideal for fine art was unconducive for the young family of three. Added glass at the front recess welcomes light view and the removal of interior walls not only liberate rooms to communicate with each other but also reinform the cleared central entry space as a hub. Even though the renovation reinforms its relationship with art, the joy and appreciation of art was not dismissed. A metal sculpture lost in the corner of the south side yard bumps the sculpture at the front entrance to the kitchen terrace over an added pedestal. (See plans) Since the roof couldn’t be railed without compromising the one-story '70s composition, the sculpture garden remains physically inaccessible however mirrors flanking the chimney allow the sculptures to be appreciated in three dimensions. The mirrors also afford privacy from the adjacent Tudor's large master bedroom addition 16-feet away.

Updated midcentury modern bungalow colours with Sherwin Williams paint colours. Original colours were a pale pinky beige which looked outdated and unattractive. We created a new warm colour palette that would tone down the pink in the stone front and give a much more cohesive look.

As an immediate priority, our team of contractors worked swiftly on damaged fascia and soffit replacement for Bruce’s Bloomington, MN home. That’s because soffit and fascia act as a protective barrier to prevent rain and wind from penetrating a roof. In addition, missing soffit and fascia can lead to dry rot around the roofing edge. Our goal with this portion of the storm damage repair project was to rebuild the plywood soffit and fascia system on the south and east corners of the home and paint it white to match the undamaged sections.

Large windows (existing and new to match ) let in ample daylight and views to their expansive gardens. Photography by homeowner.

When it comes to rain gutters, size truly does matter. Gutters that are five inches or smaller are prone to clogging. Clogs are a problem because they cause water to spill over the sides of the gutter and near your foundation. This can result in landscape erosion and wet basements. In addition, gutters that are too small can overflow with rainwater. For our client Tim, the size of his 1960’s home’s rain gutters proved problematic because they were too small to correctly divert water away. That's why he made the switch to LeafGuard® Brand Gutters.
