Project Reveal: Doddy Haus
year: 2026
type: residential
client: #DoddyHaus
style: modern, functional, masculine
Some projects come together in a way that feels both intentional and effortless—Doddy Haus is one of them. From the first conversations to the final install, this project was rooted in creating a space that feels grounded, functional, and quietly bold.
“Doddy Haus” is a name that holds personal significance for our team! Rooted in our Amish heritage, “Doddy” is a term for “grandpa,” making Doddy Haus a nod to a “grandpa house.” It reflects a sense of warmth, legacy, and lived-in comfort—values that guided the design from start to finish. The name felt fitting for a home that embraces tradition while being thoughtfully reimagined for modern living.
At its core, Doddy Haus is a study in contrast and character. The design leans into a rich, moody palette that brings depth and a subtle masculinity to the home. Rather than relying on overly ornate details, we focused on strong materials, clean lines, and thoughtful layering to create a space that feels both elevated and approachable.
A Moody Transformation

Exterior Evolution
02.
One of the most dramatic changes took place on the exterior. The addition of a garage and mudroom not only enhanced functionality, but also redefined the home’s overall presence. A wraparound porch now frames the structure, creating a welcoming transition between indoors and out.
The real showstopper? The overgrout stone. This timeless element adds texture and weight to the façade, grounding the home and giving it a sense of permanence. Paired with darker tones and natural materials, the exterior sets the tone for everything that follows inside.
A Kitchen Designed for Living
03.
Inside, the kitchen underwent a complete transformation. What was once a more limited layout is now a highly functional and beautifully organized space. A newly added pantry provides both storage and flow, allowing the kitchen to feel open without sacrificing practicality.
Material selections played a key role here—layered finishes, warm woods, and darker accents work together to create a cohesive and inviting environment. It’s a space designed not just to be seen, but to be used every day.
Intentional Details Throughout
04.
Every corner of Doddy Haus was approached with intention. From the layout adjustments to the final styling, each decision supports the overall vision: a home that feels grounded, refined, and lived-in.
The balance of masculine tones with warm textures keeps the space from feeling too heavy, while still maintaining a strong identity. It’s this balance that ultimately defines the project.
The Final Result
Doddy Haus is more than a renovation—it’s a transformation that reflects both the homeowners’ needs and a clear design vision. The end result is a home that feels cohesive from the outside in, where every element works together to create a lasting impression.
We’re proud to share this project and grateful for the opportunity to bring it to life.
