Fine Home Design

Fine Home Design We design homes on a One-of basis, each one designed for a specific client and site. New homes, remodelings, & restorations.

Major or minor sized projects are of equal importance. Leigh Douglas Johnson is an accomplished artist, craftsman and master builder. He creates designs with the practicality of an experienced house builder, the attention to detail of a craftsman, and the vision of an artist. He is not officially an architect, rather, he is a highly professional home designer wtih decades of designing, building,

and contracting experience. With this background in fine woodworking, home construction, remodeling, and restoration, he has an excellent understanding of the relationships between custom home design and construction, from the most practical aspects to the fine aesthetic details. Not being a registered architect does not mean he is less able but does the same work and produces at least the same results as an architect. His background as a home builder gives him the insight into construction that most architects lack.

This is a photo of the Shirley-Eustis House in Boston. Way back in 81 I was offered (and accepted) the opportunity to participate in its restoration. It is an important historic site, originally build for Wm Shirley, an English Royal Governor of Massachusetts.

I just love this cozy little outdoor nook.  The archway really makes this view.  Do you feel inspired ?

Yes, it needs paint but this is the first home in America of my family, built by great, great, grandfather Nicolai.

Presently I am drawing up the construction plans for an addition which will more than double the living space in this 1950 home in the St. Paul, Mn. area. The addition will include a large master bed suite above and a large family room/kitchen down. These floor levels will be reached by a stair split off from the existing main floor level. This transition space will also include a new entry area with a sunlit 11' ceiling. This high, sunlit space will be the warm, bright heart of the home.

I am sharing the photo of this bathroom because it is so beautiful. I do not know who designed it or who built it, but kudos to them. I realize that it is a very high end thing, but the most beautiful in architecture often is. The harmony of the arches imparts a calming influence but the best part is the cross vaulted ceiling in the center of four arches. Just enjoy it for a moment.

A friend discovered this amazing antique, one owner home!  Just want to share it with you all.

I want to share this beautiful ceiling with my friends. It is a cross vaulted ceiling & the best feature is the flat arches in the center of each wall where it continues up into the vault, creating these opportunities for painted decorations. The kind of thing that can give a small room a touch of elegance and charm.
