Hickory Lane is a planned community with gorgeous colonial homes in West Hartford, Connecticut. Responsible for this project is architect Walter Crabtree Jr. who designed lovely wood homes with all the modern amenities of the 1940. The homes are separated through well manicured lawns.
Here, in the top photograph, is an eye-pleasing way to give your home "foundation" and more closely to unite its wing to the main body: use a well-planted brick wall like this one across the front of the A. R. Grinnell Home on Hickory Lane. Rear view of the same home shows you how you can increase the height of outer walls to gain second-floor headroom without making your home look awkwardly high: use a 30-inch hand of flush boarding surmounting shingle siding on the front and the rear
