Valvanis Residence |
2003 |
This custom home offered plenty of design challenges and opportunities. Situated on a narrow riverfront lot, and saddled with a 50' setback from the water, special attention was given to maximize the buildable portion of the site. The client desired a brick Georgian design. The site called for, and with a little persuasian, the client agreed to a break form that traditional design to include a southern style veranda to the riverside. The third floor bedrooms were not a part of the original design. However, their addition allowed for the suggestion and design of a new attic truss type utilizing an open web truss section in place of a lumber bottom chord. The end result is a stunning home that lives large on the riverfront, stayed within budget, and exceeded the clients expected appraised value by 30%.
