An appealing mixture of fiber cement exterior building materials (stucco panel and clapboard siding) combine with decorative brackets at the porch and the cantilevered gables to create undeniable Tudor Style for this four+ bedroom home.

This year, in collaboration with Ridgemoor LLC, we embarked on the challenge of designing a 3400 square foot home, to be built green - and to fit in aesthetically with the popular neighborhood “The Moorlands”, and its classic Clayton homes. This new home, inspired by the work of Addison Mizner, will be the second “green certified” home in the city of Clayton.

The existing home will be torn down, and several of the existing home’s materials will be reused and/or recycled. The existing clay tile roof will be saved for a new home we have under construction a neighborhood away in Claverach Park, and many of the components will be used in this new home as well.

This Tudor revival home calls for a 7,000 sq.ft. footprint with 5 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, an Alfresco patio directly accessible by the Dining Room, The Great Room and study,  and a 3-car garage. The home is yet again, another project taking on traditional vernacular while meeting the needs of today’s finest construction all built to the Gold standard of the St. Louis HBA’s Green Building Guidelines and an Energy Star rating of 5+ (the highest available in both counts). The Tudor Revival style home will seamlessly integrate into its lot in Claytons highly sought after Claverach Park neighborhood as it incorporates materials that were saved or “reclaimed” from the original home that was removed from the lot, including brick, stone, and clay tile roofing.
