Coastal Call-Outs

Creating consistency between a home’s exterior features translates to major curb appeal. For these homeowners, stained garage doors and paned windows not only establish consistency, but also give the exterior a coastal quality that reflects their maritime interests.  “Garage doors are typically scars on most houses,” says the home’s architect Michael Frederick. “However, these designer doors match other elements on the house with detail resembling the woodwork of Hinckley boats.”
