Solution

A one-stop exterior makeover: inspiration gathered from the clients, the classic style of the neighborhood reviewed, and detailed pre-construction renderings produced to guide the work through to completion. The goal throughout was a house that is special and particular to its owners while still respecting its historical cues.

Design

Time-tested, quality materials — cedar, stone, copper and brick — with the detail doing the work: layered trim and molding, lighting, custom shutters, doors, hardware and architectural accents. Nothing here is a finish applied late; the renderings settled it before construction started.
