| BEFORE Here is our previous design. Nice - so we just wanted to add a few touches to make it a bit more traditional. |
 |
| AFTER The new front elevation. We added a an "eyebrow roof" above the wrap around porch, added muntins to the windows and changed the color tones of the exterior. These changes give the home design a more soothing feeling and give it more of a beach cottage aesthetic. By the way you can check out an exterior animation at Modern Cottage Exterior Video |

| This powder room is a contrast of the very modern and the very ornate. It starts off as a very spare space with almost awkward proportions. Add to that the modern wood vanity, vessel sink and faucet. This is contrasted by the "crazy" - but well designed tile pattern, reinforced by the stained glass window and the ornate mirror. |
 |
| Detail view of the tile pattern. I cannot imagine the man-hours that went into this. But you have to admit it's very cool. |
 |
| View of Entry Court. Dormers filter natural light down into the vaulted living room and master bedroom spaces. |
 |
| Nicely organized floor plan - a hallmark of Simply Elegant Home Designs. Three additional bedrooms are located on the walkout basement floor. This layout is ideally suited to "empty nesters" or families with tweens. |
 |
Front Elevation - Careful attention to proportions. Clean and simple lines. Also notice the transparency through the windows. |
 |
| Left Side Elevation. Designed for a walkout lot. The stone base wraps the entire footprint. |
 |
| Rear Elevation - Abundant glass to take advantage of rear yard views. The screen porch is smartly placed to the side so as not to obstruct. |
 |
| I love the repeating simple gable roof forms. |
 |
| Grass grows nicely in Iceland. Remember Iceland is green and Greenland is white. |
 |
| The details exhibit a strong Scandinavian design influence. |
 |
| Wow! |
