Creative Home Design

 

Ideally every home design is taylored to fit one's lifestyle and budget.

So, what is it that elevates design from "Custom" into the realm of " Creative " ? 

 

It begins with a comprehensive inventory of several aspects:

  • The Site - sun exposure, direction of views, neighborhood issues, driveway approach, terrain features, future outbuilding locations, etc.

  • Lifestyle - Personal design tastes, family size and ages, daily routines, indoor or outdoor oriented, favorite activities, etc.

  • The Budget - Often the major driving force in design conception and the need for more creative thought.

 

And it concludes with these aspects melded with the approach we call "Smart Design" :

  • Making every effort to minimize square footage without sacrificing livability.

  • Addressing all design constraints as positive challenges rather than negatives.

  • Paying attention to attractive interior sight-lines.

  • Facilitating the ease of both interior and exterior travel.

  • Maximizing the feelings of space and light.

  • Avoiding wasted space, providing ample storage closets.

  • Specifying materials and systems which perform over the long-haul.

  • Specifying construction details that work.

  • Utilizing the principles of form, function, texture and color to create a home that looks good and feels good to come home to .

 

 

 

Project Management

 

Successful Project Management means not only "on time and within budget",

it should also include an element of creative satisfaction for everyone involved.

 

The scope of every building project goes way beyond the pounding of nails or the painting of sheetrock. It needs to start with the right plan, budget and logistics. And conclude with the right schedule, craftsmen and passion for quality.

 

Whether his title is Project Manager, General Contractor or Owner's Representative, someone needs to provide continuity to all these facets in order to bring real success to a project.

 

This is what we do.

 

 

 

Custom Carpentry and Timberframing

 

Custom Carpentry includes the craftsman details that define a structure as "quality".

 

Typically, these are the details that fall outside the skillset of a framer or finish carpenter.

A log portico, timber frame interior bents, a turret, carved log work,

metal accent pieces, even an arched footbridge or unique outbuilding. 

Custom carpentry thoughtfully planned, prepared and placed can transform your building project from ordinary to extraordinary !
