Project Update: Elk Rock Meadow Custom Home

Our most recent Elk Rock Meadow custom home is moving along and now has walls, windows, and a roof. This Craftsman Style house is being built by Herr and Company.

The driveway brings you into the site and towards the front of the home. From there you can see the barn on the left and the incredible front porch. The two-story home on a partial basement will feature craftsman-style details including stone bases on the tapered columns. The barn on the left will allow our clients to have flexible workspace for their future hobbies. The two-story structure has garage bays and an open plan second floor.

The house entry is recessed giving plenty of room to greet guests while framing the view through the back of the house and out over the valley beyond.

The den in the back opens up to a large deck area where you will be able to enjoy some amazing views.

Pictured below is the house wrap that protects the walls from bulk water while allowing vapor to move through the assembly. This is an important element of the building science strategies used to make this home durable, efficient, and comfortable.

As the house continues to take shape we will post updates. To see past blogs about this project, you can visit Here and Here.
