Design ideas for a small transitional one-storey stucco white house exterior in Dublin with a hip roof and a shingle roof.

The front of the house features an open porch, a common feature in the neighborhood. Stairs leading up to it are tucked behind one of a pair of brick walls. The brick was installed with raked (recessed) horizontal joints which soften the overall scale of the walls. The clerestory windows topping the taller of the brick walls bring light into the foyer and a large closet without sacrificing privacy. The living room windows feature a slight tint which provides a greater sense of privacy during the day without having to draw the drapes. An overhang lined on its underside in stained cedar leads to the entry door which again is hidden by one of the brick walls.

The clients really wanted a bay window; the exterior of the window is copper and will patina over time. The clients took six months to select and get a specific brick- it was very important to them. It’s a warm and weathered brick with tones of medium and light browns. The fence, gate, and railings are custom powder-coated metal, designed by BGD&C Custom Homes.
