Get an inside look at how we help clients achieve their vision of home with our design guide below.

The New Home Vision

The clients owned an existing small home on the lot and would visit on weekends.

They wanted a new, charming house that fit the scale and character of the neighborhood but also had ample space for entertaining.  They desired a new home that could comfortably accommodate overnight guests.

The Home Design Challenge

The clients were intrigued by a small cottage that Dale Dibello designed several years ago which fit on a 25’ wide lot.

Because their current lot was narrow within an existing neighborhood, they enlisted our help in requesting a variance from the city for a larger footprint than the building-line setbacks would allow.

The Style of Architecture

The clients wanted a modern farmhouse style, mainly inspired by the Southern Living “Sugarberry Cottage.”  They also liked the design aesthetic of Chip and Joanna Gaines.

They desired a small front porch at the entry of the home, a painted wood exterior, and metal roof.
