The design for this house was to up date the exterior to add value to the home, and to increase engery efficency. We did this by creating a west coast feel to the home, with valted cedar timber frame entry and hardi cladding. New energy star windows and a change in design of the windows created a more open feel and a more energy effiencent home.
