Most garages in this neighborhood are detached and accessible from a shared alley. I wouldn't normally endorse front load garages, but this one seems to fit in better than most...and it's detached! Note the careful attention to detail including proper scale, matching materials and a beautiful single door. It even looks like their may be a living space under the roof framing...well done!
An exploration of the timeless home styles we know and love...and how they got to be that way.

Throughout this blog I've highlighted and created links to exceptional individuals and organizations who design thoughtful homes, environmentally responsible communities and historically based building products. Some of them are local to me, while others I've yet to meet. They are exceptional because at some point in their careers, be it a moment in time or countless hours spent around a conference room table, they decided to do what was right...even though their wallets might be fatter if they just followed the crowd. Their hard work and dedication to their chosen craft is now paying dividends in the form of homes and communities that will age gracefully and be admired for generations to come...and maybe even be an inspiration to others, like they were to me.
