January 2011Construction Photos of the Crestview 10-532
Take a tour of this home completed!
January 11, 2011
Construction is in the "home" stretch on the Crestview (also known as the Barrett) hexagonal design. The clients are hoping to make the big move in February. We hope the final phase of construction goes smoothly and look forward to the final walk-through.

A lot of progess has been accomplished during the summer on the Barrett (formally referred to as the Crestview). You can begin to see just how well the hexagonal core of this design is ideal to take in all the beauty of the views from every living space through out the home.

The Barrett is the new hexagonal home plan created from the modifications that our client made to the original design, the Crestview. This beautiful home is perfect for the river view lot on which it is being built.

We are excited for the opportunity to watch the construction of our hexagonal Crestview design. The process began when Mr & Mrs B contacted us to modify the original design for their beautiful view property along a river. Revisions made were: reversing the plan, removed the loft, added a bay window at the great room, merged the office space with the owners' suite, added a guest suite and 3 car garage bay. The basement was customized to include a recreation room, bunk room, bedroom and shop area. The exterior was changed to include additional stone and wood elements. Check back to this blog often to watch the continued progress of this beautiful home. We invite you to post comments or ask questions along the way. Thank you Mr. & Mrs. B for providing us with photograhs!

Client: The construction has been slowed by mother nature. We were north of the floods but have had rains about every other day.

Concerned... are you located near the heavy rains and tragic flood event? Any damage?

The painted cement shingle was recommended to us also. PA woodpeckers don't like cement either.

Mike,
The plans indicate stone veneer and cedar shingles for the exterior finishes. Those are elements that could be altered during construction without having to be represented on the actual blueprints. We'll have to continue watching the progress to see what they ultimately decided. If you have any further questions regarding the design or progress please let me know.
I forwarded your question to the client. He wanted to respond to you with, "we like the look of cedar but due to the damage caused by woodpeckers and the high maintenance required, we are going to go with the Hardie cement shingle. It is painted in the factory and woodpeckers don’t care for the cement taste".
