From Snooze to OOOOHs!

Our client’s house burned down due to an electrical storm striking the house and burning it down.

Here’s what it looked like originally.

Originally, the client told us they wanted a “Modern” house to replace the original house. So, I set out to design them a mid-century modern inspired home to replace the old builder old builder grade 1-story tract home on the same footprint with an additional 800 sf added as well. This is what we designed originally:

During our presentation they said they didn’t mean that modern and so I dug deeper and what they actually wanted was a TUDOR style home! :) Sometimes clients have one thing in mind and I can have another using the same word “Modern”. So, back to the drawing board and since they wanted a Tudor style home that wouldn't cost a ton to build , that's what I gave them!

This is the final design we ended up designing for their replacement house! Full on Tudor!

The client LOVED the final design! Now to get it built!
