The Quarry Mill's Bellevue real thin stone veneer creates a stunning front porch entrance on this beautiful traditional style home. Bellevue stone’s light color ranges including white, tan, and bands of blue and red will add a balanced look to your natural stone veneer project. With random shaped edges and various sizes in the Bellevue stones, this stone is perfect for designing unique patterns on accent walls, fireplace surrounds, and backsplashes. Bellevue’s various stone shapes and sizes still allow for a balanced look of squared and random edges. Other projects like door trim and wrapping landscaping .elements with the stone are easy to plan with Bellevue’s various sizes. Bellevue’s whites, tans, and other minor color bands produce a natural look that will catch the eyes of passers-by and guests.

This portico was built around the rear entry to the home to produce a sheltered area that could be better utilized as an entry point to the home. Also included was interior remodeling of the space and incorporation of a skylight into the roofline above the alclove.

This new 1,700 sf two-story single family residence for a young couple required a minimum of three bedrooms, two bathrooms, packaged to fit unobtrusively in an older low-key residential neighborhood. The house is located on a small non-conforming lot. In order to get the maximum out of this small footprint, we virtually eliminated areas such as hallways to capture as much living space. We made the house feel larger by giving the ground floor higher ceilings, provided ample natural lighting, captured elongated sight lines out of view windows, and used outdoor areas as extended living spaces. To help the building be a “good neighbor,” we set back the house on the lot to minimize visual volume, creating a friendly, social semi-public front porch. We designed with multiple step-back levels to create an intimacy in scale. The garage is on one level, the main house is on another higher level. The upper floor is set back even further to reduce visual impact. By designing a single car garage with exterior tandem parking, we minimized the amount of yard space taken up with parking. The landscaping and permeable cobblestone walkway up to the house serves double duty as part of the city required parking space. The final building solution incorporated a variety of significant cost saving features, including a floor plan that made the most of the natural topography of the site and allowed access to utilities’ crawl spaces. We avoided expensive excavation by using slab on grade at the ground floor. Retaining walls also doubled as building walls.
