We are so glad they will be living close-by! Their daughter, Heather, is an Architect with a Master's Degree. She did a preliminary design of her parents' house and forwarded it to me for completion. Our home building company, Legacy Builders Inc., built it over the past months and it's finished and ready for lots of landscaping. I recently took some photos of it and wanted to post them. I will add more as the landscaping is finished.My mother's daughterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13002795376398487353noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441294842087678818.post-86101950444529915702009-04-18T09:38:00.002-05:002009-04-18T09:51:22.877-05:00Furniture arrangement<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqm3-JOyw2xQ4zY-1RKETUhMnBZ0DmvJxPor2hDnePhHPvjxremmY9Nn6pNyUEM4dokfXhpFJfhxTVITB3EHGECjzQgLm7vXIPnukd91DnOGl4dtK9-0uR4uRZPVOMhZljYAl7cdzmRLBB/s1600-h/4-18+3d.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 281px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqm3-JOyw2xQ4zY-1RKETUhMnBZ0DmvJxPor2hDnePhHPvjxremmY9Nn6pNyUEM4dokfXhpFJfhxTVITB3EHGECjzQgLm7vXIPnukd91DnOGl4dtK9-0uR4uRZPVOMhZljYAl7cdzmRLBB/s400/4-18+3d.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326044006456372866" /></a><br />As an interior designer, when I work on architectural drawings, I always consider spacial planning for furniture placement.

This is a lengthy process in Northern California! <br /><br />They were uncertain about the exterior colors and finishes. In order to help them make their decisions, I generated two options for them.

It is easier to see what is in <em>my</em> mind's eye if I can generate a view that gives the clients the ability to "walk through" the space.

The learning curve is steep, but I plan to spend time with it and conquer its difficulties in order to serve my clients even better in the new year.My mother's daughterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13002795376398487353noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441294842087678818.post-13589556971636089872009-01-05T15:57:00.001-06:002009-03-04T12:48:39.164-06:00Website<span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Whispering Pines Designs website is up and running.

From the photos I determined the approximate size, roof pitch, shape, etc. and entered the info into my C.A.D. software. I drew a basic structure from the pictures and created a front elevation from my drawing. This gave me the canvas I needed to sketch out new details. Nick and I emailed back and forth with our ideas, and the house is currently being remodeled in Minnesota. Here is the original photo and the front elevation I created. This should give you an idea of what's possible with just adding a few creative details to update an existing home's curb appeal. Photos of the finished project will be added at a later date.</span></div></div></div>My mother's daughterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13002795376398487353noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441294842087678818.post-86765037655192463182008-10-16T16:06:00.006-05:002008-10-16T17:05:29.928-05:00Lake House Design & Redesign<div align="left"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGwzwNlt5HOKlYFmFH1OAkugNRCg3ilnJ4aje0gIoCBRte6-hpkmjBVFgN8od4hSBH_asO7-_eYbzDexjzN3NLjRDtDbZdumFQXKD5WR6N9-ZZbcVtVNd0iiXb5ehw3PtWCLYNTviOfLHK/s1600-h/Shelp+I+lake+elevation.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257875740803412322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGwzwNlt5HOKlYFmFH1OAkugNRCg3ilnJ4aje0gIoCBRte6-hpkmjBVFgN8od4hSBH_asO7-_eYbzDexjzN3NLjRDtDbZdumFQXKD5WR6N9-ZZbcVtVNd0iiXb5ehw3PtWCLYNTviOfLHK/s400/Shelp+I+lake+elevation.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuC7A0HTDa37OeVovg5Pe8HGBo-qAEvsvK1Y0w9SMTmO3f7qfeIIhFZGI-1AdcNX1VumjJ_kv_WhOU8cg7ERVNetmB1LAn-wbdtg9bmUkj3t0fIIprxdhNig3bujgrLIBLNfM8iac2rzB2/s1600-h/Shelp+II+lake.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257875741686506482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuC7A0HTDa37OeVovg5Pe8HGBo-qAEvsvK1Y0w9SMTmO3f7qfeIIhFZGI-1AdcNX1VumjJ_kv_WhOU8cg7ERVNetmB1LAn-wbdtg9bmUkj3t0fIIprxdhNig3bujgrLIBLNfM8iac2rzB2/s400/Shelp+II+lake.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjceLgDmNXAeNc08LKiqWKxc5WM9fUNjW4uT98I7tqcHw7mswzMz1rjgr4Xepw7S1euYmDvlI-0m_w4uyohVnp84_VWJI0TeSs_yKRqkGL6taBHyZnEeDksHur8v8bnnTjaJUH0lwUQ0eE0/s1600-h/Shelp+04.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257875741328547522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjceLgDmNXAeNc08LKiqWKxc5WM9fUNjW4uT98I7tqcHw7mswzMz1rjgr4Xepw7S1euYmDvlI-0m_w4uyohVnp84_VWJI0TeSs_yKRqkGL6taBHyZnEeDksHur8v8bnnTjaJUH0lwUQ0eE0/s400/Shelp+04.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMibjftNb1qigcXIznaoe9jhJ-c23YVRlPiDTO0y2pM5Zh2FBk5f8BbfMvEbzQMKC-58dzwTUUtiHyASyVo97xACsKMUGje3tNDSqNP4LkQ2o8FzJPYbUvQmGFnOjHy_bwcWQ73cKOEe88/s1600-h/Shelp+05.jpg"></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiGy0gviOhO3IyrEvtAetDnncsUwZV_HYu1Ybjv1hmts1d2_NtKCWPvm2dG9cdmV4eBNvTaZ5SVG8JTWOcFh5HcqgOScDGGyNErAA7URJaQBrYwL0UniHdGxDecNdFR2pjcV2gXkT9Sxg0/s1600-h/Shelp+06.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257875747738611042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiGy0gviOhO3IyrEvtAetDnncsUwZV_HYu1Ybjv1hmts1d2_NtKCWPvm2dG9cdmV4eBNvTaZ5SVG8JTWOcFh5HcqgOScDGGyNErAA7URJaQBrYwL0UniHdGxDecNdFR2pjcV2gXkT9Sxg0/s400/Shelp+06.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div align="left"><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">When a client came to me with an idea for a home on his lake property, he envisioned building it on the two adjoining lots he owned. He had a basic idea of the floor plan which took full advantage of the lake view. I completed the design and it was exactly what he was looking for. After careful consideration, he began to realize the size was just too large for his needs, and he decided to divide the property and build on just one of the lots.</span></div><br /><div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">The challenge was to redesign a smaller plan to fit within the setbacks of the single lot. He loved the overall style of my first design, so I decided the new house had to be similar in appearance and character of the original plan. </span></div><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">The end result is a 2,900 sq. foot. 3-story home. A "loft" was incorporated into the third floor for night-time stargazing. The house has a definite nautical appearance and truly suits the lifestyle of its homeowner. </span></div></div>My mother's daughterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13002795376398487353noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441294842087678818.post-33650618097112487222008-09-23T13:48:00.002-05:002008-09-23T13:49:19.990-05:00Northwestern Oshkosh Magazine Article<span style="font-family:arial;">Check out the nice article written about Brent & Rebecca's house:</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><a href="http://adserver1.harvestadsdepot.com/gcorp/ss/085019/">http://adserver1.harvestadsdepot.com/gcorp/ss/085019/</a>My mother's daughterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13002795376398487353noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441294842087678818.post-15607786979632747182008-09-22T10:54:00.005-05:002008-09-22T11:03:37.217-05:00Open House<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiSsj1e8Tx0WwDdFQ6Jkdsyg3o74B8c0RDFHPPPTA1yYGlyfsEZIU5y0CFuGEeZY7ppcy1yzM66Ai1kHLnBPQBmpq9ghmbGdAYFxgixytMdzLqTFLQ9hMfVof-diEaJPpsrpY9douMg6JN/s1600-h/open+house+blog+copy.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248876854392393170" style="DISPLAY: block;

They were also very concerned and determined to build it as "green" as possible. I designed such a plan for them and it turned out beautifully. It has lots of curb appeal with its uniqueness. It is not "your ordinary house in any old subdivision." It truly stands out from the rest of the homes and fits their lifestyle perfectly.

They were married in June and finally moved into their new home a week ago. There are still details to be completed, but,overall, it's finished and is perfect for the newlyweds...

The works are usually marked by horizontal lines, flat or hipped roofs with broad overhanging eaves, windows grouped in horizontal bands, integration with the landscape, solid construction, craftsmanship, and discipline in the use of ornament. Horizontal lines were thought to evoke and relate to the native prairie landscape."</span></em></div><div><em><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></em></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">These words sum up the style preferences of our friends, Jack & Sandy. A few years ago they bought a small, older cottage in Waupaca. Unfortunately, it didn't fit their needs when they decided to relocate from Milwaukee. They had built a garage with living space above it in the Prairie style and decided to keep it, add onto it, and remove the original cottage from the property. The challenge was to design a larger, more efficient home that would ultimately be attached to the existing garage/apartment. The lot is steeply sloped, so the house had to slowly progress to the level of the lawn at the shore of the lake.</span> </div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Size and setback restrictions were strictly enforced due to the property being on water in Wisconsin, but we managed to use every inch of space we were allowed. The new 2-1/2 car garage has a 10' deep foundation underneath it for support, which is totally finished space for lower level bedrooms, utility room and craft/laundry room. An additional basement attached to the garage foundation provides for a family room, kitchenette and full bathroom; and space was found under the new "front steps" for a wine cellar. </span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:courier new;"><span style="font-family:arial;">The main floor of the house has a huge kitchen, living room, dining room, master bedroom suite, office and 2 baths. A large deck wraps around the front and side of the old "garage/apartment" section of the lake side of the house and connects with the living room in the new addition. The home has a very open, spacious feel with 10' ceilings on both floors. </span></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div></div></div>My mother's daughterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13002795376398487353noreply@blogger.com0
