We decided the best way to unify what existed and create architectural character was by adding a touch of Nantucket whimsy. With the 4’ front setback issue, the existing front dormers could not be moved forward; however, adding one additional dormer, increasing the size of the one over the front entry, and adding 11” in height to the dormers was permitted along with a small open front portico. Raising and stepping the dormers, adding brackets, trim details along with panel details, and cupolas and a two color palate added a cohesive identity the previous remodeled house lacked. All the existing brick, new shingle siding, and new roof became charcoal grey. The new trim, windows, soffits and fascia, and garage door all white. Norman Sizemore-Photographer
