A Place Between the Pines

Craftsman Granny Flat or Shed, Philadelphia

The customer came to me with and idea and materials they want to recycle into the new building, as was the case with this client. After spending time with the client to understand that they wanted one unique structure The basis for the design/build was a 350 square foot structure that needed to house four motorcycles and have a separate space for gardening tools and a potting table. Also we also needed to integrate vinyl casement windows, saved from the demolition of the original house, into the new building. The customer wanted the project to be as green as possible. After getting an approved design concept we needed to match the main house materials including the, CertainTeed Monogram 4” vinyl clapboard siding and 7” Cedar Impressions vinyl shake siding, Tamko Heritage asphalt shingles, and Natural Stone Veneer Hudson Ledgestone veneer stonework. Also used were copper flashing above the stonework, and Bodyguard eco-friendly trim. All of the building materials used are formaldehyde-free.
