Style
French Country
Inspired by Tichenor & Thorp / Marc Appleton· no affiliation
Tichenor & Thorp lineage — rough-cut limestone, steep slate roofs, iron balconies, lavender + olive.
- Real rough-cut limestone walls — substantial mass, hand-cut irregular coursing, structural-feeling.
- Steep-pitch slate roof — natural slate in varied colors, hand-laid, deep-pitched.
- Iron balconies on second-floor windows — restrained 18th-century French proportion, NOT 1980s ornament.
- Tall vertical proportions — distinguish from Mediterranean's lower spread.
Scope
Light remodel
New paint, siding, roof, and finishes — the structure stays put.
Replace the exterior materials in the chosen style while keeping every structural element exactly. Best for solid bones with dated finishes. This is what most renovations call 'a refresh.'
