I think this series is great. It is wonderful to see the practical application of a lot of the concepts you’ve spoken of in your other videos. Keep ‘em coming!

@BrentHull Год назад

Will do. Thanks.

Really enjoying this series. To my eye, this was the most improved yet. Changing to the gable roof made a tremendous difference, really awesome! Love the explanations of why you chose to do what you did too. Thanks a lot

I really appreciate this mode of video and it's my favorite genre of Brent's presentations. I have a 1911 traditional, yet very low style house with a lot of confusing and poorly conceived trim details. I'm trying to fix the place and learning and every bit of this helps. I'm grateful.

@BrentHull Год назад

So glad to hear it.

@rodeopenguin Год назад

If you have to modify the roof that much to extend the porch you could do a Mount Vernon style porch roof. Either way it’s a big change. Lots of cool options.

@BrentHull Год назад

Agreed. Thanks

@JoshPiland Год назад

I just keep learning. The simple hand drawings on trace paper is pragmatic-it’s something I’ve adopted. Remember your picture of maybe your parents’ den or family’s? You did the perspective drawing video on the room to show what could be. This video reminded me of that “what could be” if you know the excellent. Thanks for teaching Brent, I look forward to your book and hope I get to work on a project with you someday!

I poopoo dormers a lot, but in some instances they're needed and hopefully functional. That entrance was WAY too grand... great job with that and the columns! My favorite improvement was definitely the hip to gable with smaller dormers. I can watch these vids all day.

I really think you will enjoy taking a look at my house. I have the blue prints as well. But they ran out of money building it so alot of details wasn't complete. Everything is odd numbers: 9 columns, 3 dormers, 29 windows. Just a funny detail. Just let me know how to get you everything. It's in Baton Rouge

@tc9148 Год назад

So interesting to hear the discussion on width-to-height proportion of the porch columns. The 1:7 or 1:8 proportion of Tuscan columns is fascinating. Most new homes I see with 10’ ceilings use 10” square Tuscan columns. That’s a 1:12 ratio. Columns too small? Should be 12”, 1:10, or 14”, 1:8?

@BrentHull Год назад

Agreed. Proportions. matter.

As soon as I saw the thumbnail for this video I thought someone was trying to re-create the Sear's Magnolia. Apparently I'm not allowed to post a link but it can be found at searsarchives 1915-1920. I really like this series of your videos. You've definitely helped me to pin down WHY I like the 1918 version better. Keeping the hip roof, but dropping down to only one dormer, the single front door, and fewer columns and upper balcony emphasizing the entrance really work- very clear hierarchy. And it creates actual corners so their capitals would work. And like you pointed out, a deeper porch is necessary; this one is 10 feet deep. Even though the dormer window is horizontal overall, the individual panes being vertical make a huge difference. Your adaptation is a definite improvement, but I wouldn't want to lose the hip roof.

@RonRobertson-lafrance Месяц назад

My whole life I've been bothered by bad proportions. To me they're instantly noticeable, and pretty much always have been. Now I can see the rationale for what until now was not defined in my mind as to why so many things looked disproportionate. You have a great series here! And yes, your improvements for that house are transformative. The original is fake looking and to my eyes all wrong. It'd be great if they did what you suggest.

@BrentHull Месяц назад

Thanks so much.

@jelsner5077 Год назад

These are great changes on an unlimited budget. I would leave the roof as is and gotten rid of the center dormer. I agree that the other two dormers could be reduced. The center Palladian window is grossly out of proportion. I would keep it but much reduced in size. Also reduce the front door and I would suggest a straight transom above the door. Your other suggestions, like extending the width of the porch, etc are excellent, but they would be crazy expensive to implement.

@613kc Год назад

" crazy expensive to implement." For a working man I Agree! What would the Total Cost of this Project be? ( Start to finish; turn key.) A median price Home in my area is $360 k. Is that abt right or am I dreaming?

@BrentHull Год назад

@jelsner5077 Год назад

@Indylimburg 28 дней назад

I think squaring the dormers at the top rather than being pitched would look imposing and refined as well as compliment the overall squared look of the house.

@wickedmessenger1 Год назад

With that wider-appearing roof--which is a huge improvement-- you should spread out the dormers and probably add 2 more, all of them lined up with the windows below. The ends of the face of the roof are too large an expanse of shingles if you stick with just three.

@oltedders Год назад

What architectural details Brent? This is some builder's guesswork of what he thinks an antebellum plantation house looked like. Those columns are phone poles with volutes. Are the owners actually going to rebuild the entire front of the house and order up custom made columns that are in scale? Rebuild the roof and replace the dormers? What a mess! They should have had an architect design the house in the 1st place.

Window sizes....😶 Master Builder, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternally great construction. Also, pure gold stand-up: "...and I hate when people kinda invent this new style." "...this weird roofing detail...and I don't know why it's there." 😄

@BrentHull Год назад

haha, thanks agreed!

@Hakaze Год назад

A bit hard to judge this one, without more pictures of the original. The old roof had the advantage of creating an illusion of depth, while the gable roof made the proportions of the entire house kinda big and imposing. Extending the porch was probably the right thing to do, but I allways thought that type of overhangig roof looks a bit off. Maby because I'm most used to se colums on the gable end, or just in a symetrical way. I like what you did with the dormers, by making the window take up the most of the size, and I know they historicaly were there for the light, but on a lot of buildings they end up needing to be a bit small due to scale, loosing a lot of the usable floor area. I'm torn here.

@BrentHull Год назад

Thanks for the careful response.

@flybyav8tor Год назад

These series are great! I just bought a 1850 farmhouse that’s been in our family since 1930. A great uncle removed most of the historic fabrics and details. Then added an addition that is not proportional to the two over two farmhouse. I want to rework the exterior addition and add another addition on the back of the home. How can I submit a project for consulting?

@BrentHull Год назад

Send me an email to info@brenthull.com with pics. I have an hourly consulting fee with a 10 hour minimum but tweak videos go into a different pile and I get to those when I have time. Thanks.

@valeriej291 8 месяцев назад

If it wasn’t in the budget to build a whole new gable end roof, could the dormers just go away and still do all the other changes? Would it look decent?

@BrentHull 8 месяцев назад

Yes, that is a good idea. Thx.

@ryansoo4000 Год назад

Great video! Since this is a consultation (presumably you were asked by the owner of this house) what is the likelihood that they are going to implement your suggestions? Some might be quite easy, but other, like ripping off a hip roof and going to a gable design, would require a lot of work and money. Also, in looking at the original photograph, it appears that the second floor windows go right up to the underside of the porch roof. If the cornice is increased in size (height) as you suggest won't the porch ceiling therefore be lowered, and if so wouldn't the windows have to be lowered as well (or made smaller), or would you recommend raising the entire roof??
