Screen House by Randy Bens Architect
Canadian Studio Randy Bens Architect has completed the Screen House project in 2008. The project brief was to add a new floor to an existing 1954 bungalow located in a post war suburban neighborhood in the city of New Westminster, British Colombia in Canada. The 3,500 square foot residence, including the 1,200 square foot addition, offers four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a studio. Screen House by Randy Bens Architect: “The project brief was to add a new floor to an existing 1954 bungalow, which is situated in a post war suburban neighbourhood in the city of New Westminster, BC. The neighbourhood sits at the prow of a hill, and is rich with modernist architecture from that era. The new floor would be the domain of the parents, and the boys would acquire main floor bedrooms of a more suitable size. The addition would be composed of a studio, master suite, and a deck to take advantage of the view. Photos by: Roger Brooks PhotographySource: Contemporist

Grout is grout, right? Nope. Cement and epoxy versions have different appearances, durability and rules of installation
Epoxy grout is made from two different resins mixed with a filler, making it very waterproof and bettered suited to harsher cleaning products. Epoxy thinsets offer greater bond strength and chemical resistance than cementitious grouts. Although it has plenty of benefits, note that epoxy grout is more difficult to work with than regular grout. It also tends to look like plastic, which some homeowners don't like. Regular grout is very easy to shape in outside corners where tile wraps around a wall, curb or shower niche. I find it makes the most sense to grout a bathroom in three to five rounds.
Hip roofs, towers, quoins ... if your house includes architectural elements like these, you might trace its design lineage to France
Early-20th-century examples could be picturesque, mimicking the character of country cottages and farmhouses, or they could be very formal, with Renaissance classical detailing and carefully ordered and proportioned elevations. Some of the picturesque examples have characteristics similar to those of medieval English architecture, while formal examples share characteristics with Italian Renaissance buildings. In the middle of the 20th century, the style dissipated in popularity. French style returned in the 1960s and '70s in the form of the mansard roof. Symmetrical French Eclectic Though not as dominant a style as Spanish eclectic or colonial, French eclectic has been revived in all of its original forms in the past 20 years. The stone-clad symmetrical example here feels ordered and balanced, yet its intimate scale and charming details relate well.
