Can a roof be too steep?
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:22:38+00:00
I’ve always admired a steep pitched roof, but this roof would likely split a rain drop in two that landed on her peak. Can a roof be too steep?

Building on a sloped site

“Back in the day” there was no heavy equipment available to easily level out a house site.
Larger homes would adapt to steeply sloped sites by incorporating walk-out basements on one side of the house. But homes of more modest means would be built to conform to the site, as seen in this house.
BTW… this home, with the aid of two stone chimneys is quite the charmer isn’t she?

A loft ladder
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:22:21+00:00
A ladder leading to a loft is visually appealing, and it certainly takes up a lot less room than a staircase… but the thrill of climbing a ladder to get to another living space quickly wears off.

A nice window
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:22:07+00:00
The simple elegance of a 6 over 9 pane window combined with aged wood flooring… oh my.
The most attractive windows are an odd number of panes wide… the panes need to be taller than they are wide… and all of the panes on a house, regardless of the size of the window unit, should be matching as close as possible in size and proportion.

Benefit of using salvaged materials

Roger has a nice farm stand, doesn’t he?
All it took to add some character to this structure was the use of some salvaged materials.
