We design classic American houses, from Colonial to Mid-Century Modern, that are historically convincing and well crafted, yet fresh and adapted for life today. Having renovated and restored houses for over 30 years, we are well versed in regional building traditions. We are able to realize what clients desire in a manner appropriate for style and period of the house.

The challenge for many of us is how to make our dream house affordable. Can we live a larger life in a smaller home? We help clients reassess priorities and assumptions to discover what is really essential. In budgeting new construction and additions, quality and character of a project can increase if square footage is reduced. Many find it is more fun to live in a smaller shipshape house, and especially if it is in a resource-full neighborhood! For more on this, see "Cottage Character" in opinion section of our website.
