continuously moving between starting new homes and finishing ongoing ones. It is worth noting that it usually takes us between oneand-a-half to two years to complete a project.
At the moment, we are working on a unique home that we hope to finish soon. In this case, we were brought in later in the process after the architect and homeowner had made their initial decisions. The homeowner selected an architect and provided a timber kit from Canada. When we went through the process of helping estimate the project and determining the finishes, we found that many details were not clearly defined. This allowed us to contribute significantly with ideas for finishes and intricate details. The house spans approximately 5000 square feet and is shaping up to be an exceptional project, filled with a high level of detail.
Thoughtful details
“ It features a mechanical system that includes in-floor heating, a dual heating system, and a Tesla solar-powered roof. The two-story design showcases Shou Sugi Ban siding, a charred wood finish that adds a distinctive touch. We have also prioritized exceptional attention to lighting details throughout. Indeed, we find that lighting can be highly beneficial to accents. For the main stairs, we have included a single stringer stair system featuring a glass guardrail and integrated lighting within each stair tread, which lights the way while accentuating the entrance in a somewhat concealed fashion. This design element makes a great statement in the entry to the home and is one of the aspects I found most interesting within that project. There is also a prominent curtain wall that includes a large pivot front door, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the home,” he describes.
