whimsical expression

timber frame bents incorporated into an ICF house...seems like an unlikely combination, but not for this special client and long time friend. He had always wanted a timber home, but he longed for the energy efficiency and quiet of a concrete home. With careful planning and lots of elbow grease, we...

Our client was concerned about finishing the drywall between the timber purlins, so we made this feature out of SIPs and prefinished and prepainted the drywall to avoid any chance of contaminating the finish of the timbers. After SIPs installation, we installed Ice & Water Shield to protect and...

This copper roofing was turned up against the window wall as counter flashing before the window trim and siding were installed. It's not difficult or really that expensive, but it requires forethought and coordination. Not doing these things usually ends up costing much more...

Who doesn't like chimney pots? Especially the terra cotta kind? The final step on a double chimney on this coastal estate.

Again, we're big fans of subtle details that only the keen eye discerns. These subtle details more often that not also mean durability and peace of mind...like these slender copper valleys on this slate shingle roof.

Copper flashing between the decks and the 30# felt building wrap...keeping the outside where it belongs...outside. This flashing will also serve as counter-flashing for the board and batten siding that will cover the exterior. Notice the bottom layer of plywood is treated...again, a common sense...
