Design Study

Traditional refinement

A conceptual design study — an exploration of direction, not a completed Westmere project.

Restraint, symmetry, and deepened trim — making a classic elevation more itself.

This study explores what happens when a traditional home is refined rather than redressed: the palette narrows, the trim deepens, and the openings are outlined with more intention. Nothing is added for effect — the moves are proportional trim, disciplined color, and window sightlines that match the period.

It suits homes whose bones are already good: symmetrical facades, honest gables, brick or lap-sided elevations from the first half of the last century. Windows, siding and trim, and the entry door are the services that produce it.
