Tucson Arizona Home: Exterior Renovation

September 23, 2011 By pwarren

This project was featured in the December 2012 issue of Tucson Lifestyle Home & Garden.

The renovation of this 1970′s slump block masonry house, located in the foothills of the Tucson Mountains, involved opening the house up to the surrounding mountain and city views. The allure of the house leads one through it and back to the outside once again. From within the house, every vista is a striking framed vignette that compels further exploration. A key element of the renovation was the creation of a new outdoor living area at the East end of the house.

The existing arched elements of the house were a feature of the front facade, but the original aluminium framed windows had to go. The renovation included new Energy Star windows, designed to fit within the existing window openings. A new stucco ledge grounds the windows, and draws the eye horizontally to the new deck and garden wall at the East end of the home.

Shoreline Restoration, Renovation, & Transformation

September 20, 2011 By pwarren

The original house was built in the 1920′s, by the present owner’s great-grandparents as a shoreline cottage. Over the years it was added to and the house ended up as a dutch colonial. The house design did not suit the shoreline life style, especially the second floor. The decision was made to demolish the house down to the second floor deck, and rebuild the house in a more contemporary style, allowing the house to open up to the water views.

Kitchen/Family Room Expansion

September 18, 2011 By pwarren

This project is to be featured in Connecticut Magazine, Summer of 2012.

This project involved an expansion of the kitchen space, linking it to a newly constructed lower Family Room. The Kitchen was relocated into part of the former Family Room, connecting the existing house to the new addition. The new cabinetry lay-out and design was the culmination of close work between Warren Architecture, LLC and the Kitchen Designer/Owner: Kitchens by Gedney, of Madison, CT.

Heavy Timber Addition

September 17, 2011 By pwarren

The Homeowners had fallen in love with the idea of using recycled timbers in their new addition. The Family Room features heavy timber framing built from recycled timbers. The tall windows with transoms above flood the space with light.

This project was recently invited to be published in the book “British Country Style” by Hi-design International Publishing Co, Ltd, Shenzhen, China.

PLAN VIEW:

The original house and garage are shown in white, the additions are the shaded areas.

Viewed from the front yard, the Library/Dining Room addition is barely seen. The only clue to the presence of the addition is the chimney in the background.

Exterior Renovations to a Mid-twentieth Century House

September 15, 2011 By pwarren

The remodeling of this Entry became a study of overlapping geometric planes. The horizontals of the new entry steps and patio play off the verticals of the siding and window treatments. The pattern in the limestone pavers adds a sense of diagonal movement which is echoed in the pattern of the storm door glass.

Sunroom and Kitchen Renovation

September 14, 2011 By pwarren

The existing Sun Porch and wrap-around deck spanned across the driveway, tottering on three posts and a beam. In the transformation from Sun Porch to Sunroom, a window bay was added in the front, replacing the narrow deck area. The support beam was relocated and strengthened by the addition of two sheer wall panels below. Sunlight pours into the bay windows and the new sliding glass door that accesses the remaining deck.
