Yesterday, I had the opportunity to be a photographer and take photos of some of our Studio M projects. We needed some photos for our portfolio, and I was lucky enough to be choosen to take the pics. These are two homes I photographed yesterday.
These homes are custom homes built by a developer in Atlanta, Georgia and we at Studio M work with the builder by providing the interior design services to the buyers. We assist the buyer in selecting fixtures, appliances, flooring, paint colors, and other interior details. While these are new homes, Studio has also assisted with interiors for a craftsman style renovation which you can read about here.
Here a few details of the exterior architecture. The front porch hand rails were custom built with double post railing. The columns are traditional craftsman style.
The triangular knee brace supports (brackets) add a craftsman-style look to the gable dormer below.
Typically an inviting front porch with heavy square or round columns welcomes guests to a Craftsman style home.
Battened doors were typical of Craftsman style homes. A battened door is a wood door, without stiles, which is constructed of vertical boards held together on the back side of the door by two horizontal boards called battens. This door simulates a battened door look.
Two fans on the front porch provide relief on hot summer days in Georgia. 
This is the home that sits to the left of the home above. Also built by the same builder.
The battened door and square, tapered columns add to the craftsman style look of the home.
I think the side by side view of these two homes is so beautiful.
Here’s another side by side view.
Double garage.
Side view of porch.
Tomorrow, I’ll take you inside the first home for a look.
