The desire to bring the outdoors inside is clear with this pool house that fully opens to the outdoors in the beautiful summer weather and remains warm and cozy in the winter. The entire front wall of the building folds to the side to enable that transformation, while the fully equipped kitchen and facilities enable hosts and guests alike to enjoy the area to the fullest.

It was our absolute pleasure to be part of this extensive update and addition as a collaboration between architect, landscaping architect, and Sutcliffe Homes skilled carpenters. When working in a home built with the utmost attention paid to detail, our team matches that attention in recreating existing details, and creating new features that will stand the test of time. We created a large, raised patio below an existing second-floor balcony, including a beautiful BBQ area. The second-floor balcony received modern frameless glass guards, while the main patio was constructed with all of the details originally intended for this home, including custom gussets, spooling, and tongue and groove pine ceilings. Further, all of the existing gingerbread soffit detail was removed and re-created out of an Extira composite material, to match the original scrolled pine. Everywhere you look, there is detail in this project, which we know the homeowners will enjoy, along with their view, for many years to come.

Sutcliffe Homes and Renovations – renovating Guelph and Elora one home at a time!

This Craftsman Style front porch is the culmination of a design/build process that delighted the home owners. This home on Bedford Road, just outside the city of Guelph, was ready for some inspired curb appeal. The clients brought dreams, and the team at Sutcliffe put pen to paper to bring the design to life. This detailed porch incorporates many elements of a classic Craftsman design with some modern convenience. New Maibec siding on the home, as well as composite decking and LED lighting, bring this 1950’s theme porch up to date. It is now a daily escape or a cozy place to work. Sutcliffe Homes and Renovations can create a new outdoor living and working space, or extend your living space with detail and function to the outdoors.
