A variety of “wants and needs” were gained within this carriage house, which has been designed to incorporate a 2-car garage and potting shed, complete with ample studio space above. Notice the wrapped and flared shingles as well as decorative diamond details on the siding. Exposed rafter tails with complementary brackets along the gable ends impart interest and appeal.

A second phase added a mudroom to the owners’ existing home. Again, rafter details—this time below a nested roof line—unite the two structures with a natural coastal cottage-style charm.
