sh .irr.itt <br /> C• des <br /> 0tit p ny <br /> 04-20-22 <br /> 3350 Fox St., Orono,Mn 55356 <br /> Our client,Michael and Shyan O'Shaughnessy recently became the new owners of the home on 3350 Fox <br /> Street. Our clients appreciate the breath-taking views of Lake Minnetonka from the site as well as some <br /> of the old-world charm that comes with this 1920's brick estate. Michael and Shyan number one aim is <br /> to respect the rich history of the site and home. <br /> One of their desires, however, is to create a living space above their existing detached garage for when <br /> they would occasionally have guests overnight. The original door of the main house was reincorporated <br /> into the back façade of the garage. Michael and Shyan want to keep all 4 sides of the brick garage intact <br /> and merely build on top of the garage except for adding a new wood plank door to match the existing <br /> that would have direct access to the living quarters above. The new hip roof would be steeper than the <br /> existing roof(more in keeping with the main home)and would rise from where the old roof began. The <br /> space above would be contained under this roof and 4 stucco dormers similar to the dormers on the main <br /> house are located on each façade to add interest as well as create the necessary head room. This creates a <br /> feeling of the structure being more of a story and a half vs. a full 2 stories. <br /> As you can see from the bird's eye view photo with the new roof superimposed, the O'Shaughnessy's <br /> want to make sure that the remodeled garage will feel like it blends in seamlessly with the rest of the <br /> estate. Every effort will be made to copy details from the main home. The roof will be a slate hipped roof <br /> with relatively short overhangs to match the existing home,the walls will be brick and stucco in identical <br /> colors as the main home, the windows will be the same turquois color and will have divided lights in <br /> proportions that are similar to the main home. The shutters have been added to all the windows on the <br /> second floor and will match the existing color and style of the shutters on the main floor. <br /> We believe that this addition ties in perfectly with the house and pool building and respects the original <br /> vintage architecture while at the same time creating the function needed to accommodate their guests. <br /> 4 6 4 Second Street • Suite 1 0 0 • Excelsior , MN 5 5 3 3 1 <br /> p h o n e : 9 5 2 . 4 7 0 . 9 7 5 0 • fax : 9 5 2 . 4 7 0 . 8 4 0 7 <br /> website : s h a r r a t t d e s i g n . c o m • email : info@sharrattdesign . com <br />
