New Construction
Creating a custom home that stands as a lasting testament to its owners taste and style requires more than an inspired design and quality craftsmanship: It takes the concerted efforts of a dedicated team.
Often this may begin with conceptual sketches or line drawings. Plan reviews are conducted to allow input from all parties and then architectural plans begin. Sometimes several reviews are needed until the final character, details and custom features are included in the final working drawings. A comprehensive specification list is also included with the drawings. This helps insure the client’s specific needs and architectural taste have been met. This will set the standard for all details and levels of quality. From this point construction drawings and documents will be prepared.
Restoration and Renovations
Discriminating homeowners who seek the highest level of quality craftsmanship and personalized service know that a family-owned and operated firm will take the time to create a custom space designed around your family’s lifestyle. We work by evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of a house and developing a design that corrects poorly functioning areas and respects and enhances its best features, yet adds the special touches to specifically suit our clients’ requirements. Through challenging spaces to difficult solutions, often this approach yields a one of a kind design to fit the client needs.
Rehabilitating and restoring an old building or house is an exciting challenge. We can help ensure that any distinctive original features and areas of skilled craftwork are protected and enhanced, and when replacement is necessary, new material matches the old in design, composition, and color.
Our Designs
No matter if we are designing your entire project or one specific detail, our approach is to remain true to the style set forth, yet create something unique to its environment.
Personal Touch
When it comes to your home, we offer the personalized attention you’d expect to receive from our modest firm. Because we only accept a few projects every year, we are able to give each project the attention to detail it deserves. This attention is extended through our design work, client/builder selection meetings, site inspections and management team.
Ward off the elements
We take the exterior of your home seriously. It is our goal to provide a home that is as maintenance free as possible. This is achieved through material choices and construction details to minimize exposures to the harsh elements. We embrace the use of timeless materials along with new products that resist the elements.
Cutting edge technology
In today’s busy world we have made a commitment to embracing technology. This has been met with the use of whole house electrical control systems, Structural Insulated Panels (S.I.P.’s), hydrodynamic radiant heating and Earth Craft standards for energy conservation.
