Subtle exterior drama is provided through utilization of a unique mix of materials: stone, brick and vertical wood siding. The stone is natural and random and used to define the fireplace element. In contrast, brick is uniform and repetitive,
it is used to define the various elements on the exterior surfaces. The use of vertical wood siding adds warmth through color and creates a rhythm surrounding the home. The many, unique Andersen windows create a strong connection with established patterns located to control natural lighting and provide direct lines of sight to the outdoors. In addition, porches connect the McFarlands to the landscape and the various outdoor activities.
The interior planning concept creates a uniform space where various family activities can all be connected. A half wall separates the kitchen and dining space from the great room so conversation flows easily between them. Trim details and built-in elements define the character of the space and allow the space to have an open flow while creating unique storage possibilities for the McFarlands. The elegant 14' ceilings in the great room provide drama with dark wood cross beams. Additionally, they provide the opportunity for a raised platform shared space on the upper level.The McFarland's new home design is a marriage between functionality and simple beauty. The emphasis on shared living space is ideal for a family, while the unfinished basement provides space for storage.
