Architectural Tutorial: Columns

We're not talking about ancient Greece and Rome, where the latest fashion is togas, laurel leaf crowns, and architecture consists of giant temples with ornate pillars.  We are talking about practical, residential applications of the design element that ancient architects put into place for the generations beyond.  Today, we will focus on three common column types that we use, marking the exterior of the home with a distinctive style.<br /><br /><b><i>Tuscan.</i></b> Because of it's simplicity, the Tuscan order is seen as similar to the Greek Doric order, although its proportions follow the ratio of the Ionic order more closely.  As defined by the Italian architect, Sebastiano Serlio, the Tuscan order was suitable for fortified places like city gates, fortresses, castles or where artillery was held.  In more recent days in a residential application, it became a part of the Georgian style due to the ability of carpenters to easily work up with a few planing tools. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Sunny Slope

<!--StartFragment--> <br /><div class="MsoNormal">No structure is better suited to water than a ship, which was the inspiration for this waterfront home. The Sunny Slope is an imaginative addition to an existing cottage, providing stunning views and three floors of living space, all within a charming shingle-style design.  The obstacle of this project was the high risk erosion of the property, which limited our design of the guest addition to a crescent-shaped footprint.  Being able to fit a beautiful plan to this unique shape was an enormous, but fulfilling, challenge.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Connected to the main house by a glass-covered walkway, this addition functions as an autonomous home, complete with its own kitchen, dining room, sitting areas and four bedroom suites.  Oval windows, multi-level decks, and a fourth-story “crow’s nest” are just a few of the home’s ship-like design elements.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The bathroom also features a walk-in shower with two drying areas and heated floors.<br /><br />On the second floor, two bedrooms are set around a “flex area” aimed at entertaining kids or providing homework space. “It’s set up to handle an expanding family,” said Reinsma.<br /><br />Downstairs, there’s a guest room that has its own bathroom and a door with direct access to a patio overlooking the swimming pool.<br /><br />Outdoors, the pool and hot tub offer the opportunity to relax, provided the lake is too cold for a swim. There’s also a large changing area and shower just inside the door on the ground floor.<br /><br />Outside of the three-stall garage and leading up to the front door, the sidewalks are heated to melt the snow.<br /><br />Inside the garage, light flows onto the textured flooring through translucent garage door panels. A ramp provides accessibility into the home.<br /><br />In the basement’s mechanical room, a five-zone heating and cooling system manage the climate. There’s also a closet which houses a six-foot bank of computers, receivers and monitors. “This is what it takes to run the house from a media perspective,”<br />Reinsma said.<br /><br />The tour, which began Oct. 5, continues today and tomorrow and on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday next week.
