Featured project
Warm step lighting. Natural maple. Railing details that carry the design into the room. A new staircase connecting the main living space to the basement, finished to feel at home in the existing house.
Explore the finish details
A new layout, custom island, cabinetry and countertops, with the original hand-hewn beams, brick chimney and copper range hood kept in place.
This bathroom started with leveling the floor, squaring the walls and updating the plumbing and electrical. The homeowner helped shape the design you see here.
This one involved demolition, structural changes, framing and insulation before the finishes went in. We coordinated with our trade partners, then finished the space with custom pine walls, a black steel ceiling and gym flooring.
