Design

Our design + build team focuses on creating custom structures designed specifically for the site, the people, and the purpose. Our specialty is incorporating timber frames into highly-efficient heirloom homes that serve the planet well. Detailed craftsmanship, quality materials, and the ability to, listen to, and design for, client wants and needs are what allow our houses to be loved for generations.

For those that are also looking for a build partner, we can accommodate. For some projects we will also General Contract. Already working with and architect? Connect with our Timber Frame team.

Working together with our engineering group and the timber frame shop, we can integrate architectural design, structural engineering, and timber frame joinery into a seamless operation that begins with concept sketches and a site visit, then continues through to construction documents and well beyond raising day.

Our team interprets design intent, oversees design changes, and/or provides design solutions for the unforeseen conditions that often arise during construction. There’s a wealth of experience in both residential and light commercial design we’re always excited to share. This team also gets worked up about the latest architectural software producing renderings that provide a near-lifelike experience of a home or space.
