A closer look at the materials and lived-in details recorded in this two-residence design-and-build project: wood cabinetry, stone, tile, warm porch ceilings and places to gather.
Two homes on one property brought together a broad range of design and building decisions. Tiffany described this as a full ground-up GC, design and build project for both homes.
Ground-up GC, design & build · Main home & guest home
Tiffany’s role spanned ground-up general contracting, design and build for both homes, including their complete design. The main home and guest home each have a distinct material palette and a substantial story of their own.
The main home includes custom wood cabinetry in the kitchen, office, mudroom, laundry and bathrooms. Granite kitchen counters, quartz bathroom counters, tiled backsplashes and plaster finishes at the living-room fireplace and kitchen hood form part of the recorded material palette.
An office window-seat and French pocket doors, pantry shelving with butcher-block counters, a laundry dog-wash station and a covered-porch bed swing are among the project’s details. They make the story more specific than a list of rooms: storage, pets, work and time outdoors all have a place in the design.
The guest home includes knotty alder doors, Italian-tile backsplashes, copper bath fixtures, a steam shower, heated bathroom tile, stone fireplace surrounds and custom cabinetry. Cedar porch ceilings and posts extend the material story outdoors.
Covered porches, stained wood ceilings, a bed swing and landscape design also form part of the project. These details connect the interiors with places to sit, gather and enjoy the property. The expanded gallery follows that connection from interior rooms to the porches and landscape.
