Award-Winning Glen Mills Residence

<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">This custom-designed home, which recently won a 2011 <a href="http://visbeen-associates-architects.blogspot.com/2011/08/bringing-home-8-arda-awards.html?utm_source=Blog&utm_medium=Blog&utm_campaign=ARDA%2Blink%2Bin%2BGlen%2BMills%2BPost">American Residential Design Award</a> from the <a href="http://www.aibd.org/">AIBD</a>, is reminiscent of the Tudor style, and was created to meet the needs of any homeowner. From extra garage space to entry lockers, to a main floor equipped for entertaining, the Glen Mills is a home that gracefully couples style with functionality.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;font-size:medium;">The inviting front entry leads to the living room and hearth area. Pocket doors lead to the attached study, while columns separate the living room from the dining and kitchen areas. Ample counter space and seating make the kitchen the center of the home, and the ideal place for entertaining guests.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;font-size:medium;">There is no lack of sleeping space, either. A large upstairs master suite includes a full bath, sitting area and walk-in closet. Also on the upper level are three guest bedrooms and a full guest bathroom.</span></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioWfTexfJqoXB4XXtT9aQj4r32B7zSz3CphGtYOfDMBwxneNgt2lXwRP-f4aBd_pKe8tahksQJPlNNlnycXq9eD7Rf_OQrTRdFDfJZqn0fnU_vZ5F1Bsse_QAi8Xab_ikTcLHQUBpysL3L/s1600/01_IMG_2362-1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5636645272677148178" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioWfTexfJqoXB4XXtT9aQj4r32B7zSz3CphGtYOfDMBwxneNgt2lXwRP-f4aBd_pKe8tahksQJPlNNlnycXq9eD7Rf_OQrTRdFDfJZqn0fnU_vZ5F1Bsse_QAi8Xab_ikTcLHQUBpysL3L/s320/01_IMG_2362-1.jpg" style="display:block;

Architectural Tutorial: Craftsman Style

<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#333333;">The Craftsman Style, otherwise known as Arts and Crafts, was based on the Arts and Crafts movement in Europe led by English architect William Morris in the early 1900s. At the time, art, furniture and residential architecture reflected the Industrial Revolution and Victorian Era, where machines introduced mass production. The Craftsman Style intended to combat this by focusing on a simpler lifestyle, centered around handcrafted elements, natural materials and straight lines, both horizontal and vertical. Built-in furniture, staircase details, stained glass windows and many other elements were constructed with the same "carved and polished wooden aesthetic" throughout the home (Walker 180).</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#333333;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#333333;">The most famous Craftsman architects were Charles & Henry Greene out of California. They were a major influence on the Craftsman Style spreading in the West and were best known for their bungalows. They incorporated other styles from England, Japan, Scandanavia and Switzerland into the exterior and simple interior design of their creations.

Carlton Remodel

<p class="MsoNormal">This remodel is evidence that an ordinary home, given a few tweaks, can be turned into something extraordinary.

High ceilings, which leave the area open to an upstairs loft, give a spacious feel, while custom woodwork and the large hearth maintain a homey atmosphere. A large main floor master bedroom, bathroom and walk-in closet connect to a private back deck for easy outdoor living.</p><p class="MsoNormal">The pre-existing formal dining room was converted to a private office and den with passage to the kitchen through a butler’s pantry and custom wine storage space.</p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKT7KkLHz2rhfB0vA63GrZrU9YTGRE5oLoxVT6FJr87G5dbrDdujDWgh1rf5JQ5eQ0iIKwMy9b53rCslyd9ElLkS0j0UsPXvqWrThAmxbiIycXK0echlf4bjpSHEcPBxYwTBoLDmriT8D_/s1600/1-DSC03235.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5631904933567027042" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKT7KkLHz2rhfB0vA63GrZrU9YTGRE5oLoxVT6FJr87G5dbrDdujDWgh1rf5JQ5eQ0iIKwMy9b53rCslyd9ElLkS0j0UsPXvqWrThAmxbiIycXK0echlf4bjpSHEcPBxYwTBoLDmriT8D_/s320/1-DSC03235.JPG" style="display:block;
