Design Details Highlighted in the Article:
The peaked roofline in the living room and kitchen are a nod to the original structure.

“…the homeowners knew what the focal points or centerpieces would be.” says Blake Farrow. “So we built to suit, rather than find something that suited afterwards. In many cases through the home, millwork was purposely built for certain art pieces.”
