we really like the look of this house. it feels very classic and simple, and because of the shed dormer, you get that 2 story look, but save money because you don't have to buy siding/brick/stone for the facade of the house. we like the classic, new england vibe that shed dormers give a house. although i like and appreciate all GOOD forms of architecture, i am definitely drawn to classic exteriors. give me columns, painted brick and shakes over timber beams and turrets any day!
here are a few other beauties that feature shed dormers:

pinterst-sorry, couldn't find original source.
do you have a favorite house here? i genuinely like them all, but i think my favorites were the one by tooth construction and the one from postcards from paris! of course, the ones in bend are pretty great too...

I adore the one from Tooth - so good. M.
ReplyDeleteI love the Bend, Postcard and Lda! Wish we had that kind of architecture here!
ReplyDeleteI love the postcard from Paris. So homey!!
ReplyDeleteI like the one from Toth Construction too. With the slight curve of the roof, the house was given a more elegant and classic look that makes one think of the English countryside. I hope that you get the ideal shed dormer for your home. =)
