North, South

I'm very pleased with the final exterior elevations.  There's been quite a few cosmetic, economic and practical changes to the plans in the last few months.  For example, along the way, I added some features (dormers, a Juliet balcony) thinking they added charm.  But they also added a more embellished and stylized look--which I don't want.  They've been removed, and I'm much happier with the simple old-world aesthetic of plain exterior stone walls.

There will be a circular drive, with a central fountain, in front of the entry.  As you stand at the front door, you'll see Mt. Hood to the left and the cottage and forest on the right.  This viewpoint of the house is what I hope makes the lasting impression.


SOUTH

This new perspective, with the garages perpendicular to the house, is now complete.  The four glass panels--two are French doors--present a entire new vista and new possibilities for landscaping.
