Things have been moving right along, and we are still on target for breaking ground this spring. Once the plans are engineered, we will present the plans to the HOA, submit the plans for permitting with the county, and obtain bids from contractors. In the meantime, we are still trying to nail down the right exterior materials and incorporate the garage into the design.
The latest perspectives (below) show the use of wood siding at the entrance. We wanted something to soften the look of the exterior, but that would still age well and complement the metal and cement. Initially, we thought wood was a bad idea, especially with the harsh weather in the Valley, but with placement on the north-facing side of the house, wood may do the trick.
Just to note, the metal is very orange in these pics. The actual color should be closer to gray/blue. Also, these are the first images of the garage, and we like how it fits in with the house on the site. Ryan exercised his creative liberty by including two snow mobiles in the second photo. Thanks Ryan!
