Bath Shower Home Design

To reach the green expectations of its homeowners, the farmhouse underwent a three-phase renovation while keeping its original footprint. This created a subtle exterior transformation . New galvanized metal roofing in two colors and a cool color palette freshen the look. Airtight insulation, efficient geothermal heating and cooling, and the new metal roofing altered the structure. Additions of efficient metal-clad windows and insulated doors had equal influence on the home's style.
