Refined Tuscan Timber

A Manor Home in the Tuscan Classical Order, with Timber details.

The Refined Tuscan Timber style emerged as a New Architectural Movement combining the refined details drawn from Classical Compositions of the Ancients, particularily the Tuscan order, with the hand-crafted artisanship of the Early-20th Century. Timber in this home is now fully detailed with modern techniques, both within and without. The home depicted herein was an existing building, originally constructed in the 1980s in a non-descript Colonial style, absent of detail and elaboration. The owner desired the home to recieve a full and exhaustive renovation in form and style, to in essance be made anew.

The Tuscan Proportions and Detailing are expressed on exterior with column orders in the gargantuan order in a deep red, and in an ordinary order in the entry pergola and trellis in white. The enunciates the hierchical order of the home, with the primary gathering space given highest prominance. Dormers with outriggers punctuates the main roof. The detailing is also brought from the exterior of the home within. The timbers are present in the roof structure, and the stonework is carried from the outside in. Arches and vaults are utilized in the Great Room, the kichen, and the upstairs bed chambers.
