Big fan of PA! What are the differences between carriage house and barn garage?

It's the autumn of 2024, 5 years after you made this video, and black windows are still going in all houses around me. And I hate them all! 🤣 Can't wait for this trend to pass.

FYI: it can be tricky finding home insurance to insure your wood shingle roof - just might be worth checking ahead with your agent before getting one.

I love your design suggestions- especially your uncommon good sense to keep the project in scale with the neighborhood. The second floor addition above the garage - what kind of space would that be? Bedrooms?

Great work! I found your website in the recent past when I was searching different home designs for fun. Keep up the great work with quality and integrity! - Emily from Vermont

Wow, this sure does sound exciting, thanks! we need more stuff like this. If you’re doing what you need to be doing and your shingles don't disappear within 7 days, something's wrong. Although it took me a bit more by go’ogling Kaena Ramingler and reading her posts I was able to finally be free lol.

I wanna peek at your garage and the fantastic cars!

Hi Patrick, which non-wood siding option would you recommend as the next best thing?

Does Patrick Ahearn ever use James Hardie siding or is it not aesthetic and historically accurate enough for his recommendations? My impressions is he only uses wood and brick siding and maybe stucco - traditional materials. And if so, which color combinations of James Hardie would he use if he did?

When you suggest larger cornerboards what width would you suggest, please? I have a similar home. Thank you

A small city for just one family.. looks great, but is this really normal though..

Does Patrick ever work on Nantucket?

How do you usually paint cedar shingle siding?

Hi Patrick. Should I remove a chimney in a 1938 compact cottage? It would make the house more energy efficient and add floor space, but.. the architectural loss is of concern?

I've watched this a dozen times and never get bored.

Lovely.

I love seeing your vision. I see so many homes where the addition is an eyesore to the beauty of the original home.

Beautiful. You have so much knowledge and talent. Thank you for the videos. Enjoyable to watch and dream.

Lovely, sketching for a curb appeal update.

That is the most stunning shingle style with classical elements that I've ever seen! Interiors are gracious, too.

No info on this house? Location? Interior shots? Specs? Epic fail.👎

Always very tasteful per usual.

Thank you

Beautiful! How does one enter one of these contests?

What a treat to see your transformation. Beautiful!!

so they cut out all the trees near the house on the lot and leave it bare.. good for the house, not good for trees

This should have 500,000 views! What is wrong with people!

I'm so glad another small beach house won! Leave it to Patrick Ahearn to make the back of the home so much more welcoming. I entered the contest (numerous times) because we need advice on our 1,500 sq. ft. house in Green Hill Beach, Rhode Island. Hopefully, there will be more contests in the future...and I'll be lucky.

Hi Patrick, I have a small 950 square foot Minimal Traditional Levittown type of house built in 1938. Would you still dress up such a house on the outside or would you keep the landscaping and decorations on the outside minimal as was originally done when such houses were built? I feel like if I follow your advice, it will become a decorated Federal Colonial house and won’t be true to its original purpose like you say. By the way, funny thing, I have been naturally drawn to the landmarks you designed - Wellesley Nero Cafe, Beacon hill walkways, etc. anyway, my question is if you have any advice for remodeling or decorating a minimal traditional simple FHA type house from the 1930s.

Great guy. However, here is the flaw in his design philosophy - it is design for very rich white people while wasting resources and not being sustainable, kind of like the Kings and Queens of France and Britain, they belong in the guilded age and are probably a sign of the guilded age of today with huge wealth gap in our society, this design gets lots of money wasted on majestic houses that nobody really lives in for a significant amount of time. I've been to Martha's Vineyard, and people come to these houses for a few days, but they don't live there. They look like fifth or six houses for multi millionaires, or at least second or third houses for same. Notice how there aren't many black people there. It is like designing Putin's mansion and saying that is proper architecture, which is like being a Michelin star restaurant chef and saying a 1000 dollar dish is the real type of food.

I was wondering why all the houses in Edgartown are white and look perfect like from a magazine cover - well it is because this is the one guy who designed them all.. it’s funny I also intuitively gravitated toward the cafes and outdoor dining areas in cafes he designed in Beacon Hill and Wellesley. Well me and many other people. Now I’m trying to apply his ideas to a 1930s crappy cheap house I am trying to add curb appeal and historical accuracy to.

It's nearing 2022 and I can't get black windows! They are very popular and 25% more than the white. Style is truly subjective.

Loved your input.

These videos are excellent. Seeing the overall effect and walking through how each change contributes is so much fun. Thank you for making them!

Another interesting video. Thank you!

Sir, do you do projects in india?

Я искал фнф игру а не дом

Thank you for these wonderful videos.

Loved this!

Awesome!

Just subbed, about to check out some of your other videos! You deserve way more subscribers. Did you know that you could use PromoSM??? You could use it to promote your channel.

Love what you’ve done!

Awesome!

I agree. As an architect for 40+ years, this “trend” is very trendy, but seems to have limited applications in reality. To put black windows in a traditional brick house seems crazy. And sort of ugly. Yes, they look good in a white farmhouse. Or in a super sleek contemporary house. But you know, even in these applications, these windows often wind up looking like a big black hole in the elevation of the house! You don’t see the mullions very much, especially if there is tinted glass. I think white windows (and other colors) will endure, in the end. Because most folks live in normal houses of varying ages. And it’s funny, we’ve used black and dark bronze aluminum windows in commercial buildings forever. So where this revelation came from? Obviously the residential window manufacturers! Thanks for your post. JoAnn Moncure, AIA

You're a very talented man Patrick.

I too am wondering who make Baltic and flag blue!
