The Exterior

The exterior needed definition and ornamentation.   We wanted to create harmony and alignments.  At key openings we added  reclaimed beams and corbels to reinforce their importance. At bedroom windows we added shutters with decorative hardware. Arguably one ofthe most unique features of the exterior is the green color chosen for the windows and railings. This color references classic Mission style architecture. Pattern play is a theme that occurs throughout the house and is exemplified in the the patter chosen for the railings and guardrails. This is a whimsical departure from more traditional ironwork than typically ordanes Spanish style houses.
