This past weekend @procentralva hosted their annual PRO Awards Gala honoring local builders, remodelers, designers and the community of trades and suppliers that support the industry. Our co-entry with @ahg_constructionandremodeling won not one but two Grand Prize Awards! Although I could not be there in person I share the enthusiasm of Brian Austin in recognizing all the hard work and efforts to take a project from vision to reality. This is certainly also a testament to great clients who put their trust in our design and the construction process to transform the front of their home. Plan well, build well, live well.

If you design in Virginia, the brick colonial is inevitably a home someone will ask for an addition on. This example is a 1949 home with a less formal window arrangement where the upper windows were not aligned with the lower ones and a single story addition to the right set back from the brick wall with lap siding. Adding a second story over the right wing allows us to have a bit of variation in the roof and window arrangement . Pushing for a taller window to meet egress and provide more light I am showing the window extending up higher then the others and punctuating with a dormer gable to break up the flatness of the facade. Doing sketches helps get the proportions and scale right. Asymmetrical doesn’t mean unbalanced
