We have excavated and erected the steel walls. The next step is to install the concrete frost footing around the walls.

Selecting an architect is an important decision in any construction project. However, if you are looking to build in LA, it is even more so. To engage the right architect around LA is perhaps one of the most crucial decisions of the venture. The architect and his team can become invaluable not only in their ability to communicate easily with you, and give shape to your ideas, but also to act as liaison with local authorities and construction companies.

The Net Zero Barn is one half of a larger project (see “Farm House Renovation”). When the new owners acquired the property, their hope had been to renovate the existing barn as part of the living space; the evaluation of the structural integrity of the barn timbers revealed that it was not structurally stable, so the barn was dismantled, the timber salvaged, documented, and repaired, and redeployed in the “Farm House Renovation”. The owners still wanted a barn, so CTA sourced an antique barn frame of a similar size and style in western Ontario, and worked with a timber specialist to import, restore, and erect the frame on the property. The new/old barn now houses a sleeping loft with bathroom over a tv area and overlooking a large pool table and bar, sitting, and dining area, all illuminated by a large monitor and triple paned windows. A lean-to garage structure is modelled on the design of the barn that was removed. Solar panels on the roof, super insulated panels and the triple glazed windows all contribute to the Barn being a Net Zero energy project. The project was featured in Boston Magazine’s December 2017 Issue and was the 2020 Recipient of an Award Citation by the Boston Society of Architects.

The site for this project presented views of Lake Conroe's main body to the left, a pedestrian bridge spanning a calm cove to the eighth hole directly in front, and beautiful sunsets to the right. To capture the broad span of views, three walls of glass were erected to display all of the sites in dramatic fashion, while flooding the public spaces with natural light. The two-story entry is capped with a skylight spanning the entire ceiling, creating a light silo that pours natural light into the remaining areas of the home. (Built 2010)

Our clients for this grand mountain lodge wanted the warmth and solidness of timber to contrast many of the contemporary steel, glass and stone architecture more prevalent in the area recently. A desire for timberwork with ‘GRRRR’ equipped to handle the massive snowloads in this location, ensured that the timbers were fit to scale this awe-inspiring 8700sq ft residence. Working with Peter Rose Architecture + Interiors Inc., we came up with unique designs for the timberwork to be highlighted throughout the entire home. The Kettle River crew worked for 2.5 years designing and erecting the timber frame as well as the 2 feature staircases and complex heavy timber mouldings and mantle in the great room. We also coordinated and installed the direct set glazing on the timberwork and the unique Unison lift and slide doors that integrate seamlessly with the timberwork. Huge credit should also be given to the very talented builder on this project - MacDougall Construction & Renovations, it was a pleasure to partner with your team on this project.

This is 8,000 square foot brownstone "gut" renovation project with a garden located in Hamilton Heights. All Renovation Construction renovated this late 19th century landmark brownstone into seven residential units for a developer committed to upper Manhattan. The structure was erected as a member of the so-called “boudoir houses” on St. Nicholas Avenue. It is landmarked in the Sugar Hill Historic District

This private residence involved construction of a modern architectural style estate property in Highland Park, Texas. Dee Brown Inc’s role came into play late in the project, when corrections were needed to some specialty stonework. The home’s center is formed around the main entry. The floorplan is largely open, but parallel core wall areas serve to define the foyer, kitchen, dining, and living areas. As key areas, the architect put special focus on materials selection for the core walls. It was decided that Indiana limestone would be the finish, and that the cladding panels would all have unique continuous horizontal grooves. Material was received and installed by the original subcontractor. Upon seeing the completed work, it was evident to the architect and owner that grooves in the fabricated material were not consistent, and that the installation process had left numerous chips to the panels. It was at this point that the partially completed work was removed, and the second fabricator/installer was contacted. Dee Brown Inc ordered the Indiana limestones slabs. There, special care was taken to hold tight tolerances to the horizontal grooves as well as to the typical cut-to-size aspects. Erection of these mechanically set panels was done very carefully. The result was a clean finished product with none of the tolerance and chipping issues of the original installation. Dee Brown, Inc also created and installed special stone finishes at the adjacent half-bath. Semi-precious white onyx was transformed into a lavatory top/bowl assembly, water-closet wall cladding, and even tissue and towel holders.

Embarking on the construction of a two-story home addition is a transformative journey that promises to redefine the very essence of a living space. This ambitious project involves the meticulous integration of new levels, seamlessly blending with the existing structure to create a harmonious and expanded dwelling. From the initial stages of envisioning additional spaces, versatile living spaces, or perhaps a dreamy master suite, to the careful planning of architectural design and structural considerations, each step is a testament to the commitment of enhancing both form and function. As Vision custom team lay the foundation and erect the framework, the two-story home addition takes shape, promising a vertical expansion that not only addresses the practical needs of a growing household but also introduces a new architectural dimension to the residence. With every beam and wall, the construction breathes life into the vision of a home that rises to meet the evolving demands of its occupants, creating a multi-level haven that harmonizes with the unique lifestyle and aspirations of the homeowners.
