NCA restored the church designed by Pietro Belluschi in 1960. The project reinforced the structure, refurbished the 60′ spire, improved energy efficiency, and added chandeliers without altering Belluschi’s aesthetic. Extensive water damage warranted that all 136 of the 28′ clerestory frames be replaced with old growth timber. To ensure the original glass pattern was not lost, 2,960 pieces were labeled, cataloged, removed, cleaned, and reassembled. The restoration project earned a 2009 AIA RI Award for Historic Preservation, a 2013 AIA CT Award for Historic Preservation, a 2014 Faith & Form Honor Award for Religious Architecture Restoration and a 2016 AIA New England Honor Award for Preservation.

This modern home in Houston’s Energy Corridor was designed with clean lines and bold geometry — a true reflection of contemporary style. When the homeowner noticed water intrusion around the aging front windows, it was time to take action.
At Deskins Siding & Exteriors, we removed the deteriorating vinyl siding from the front elevation and installed Hardie® lap siding at a contemporary angle, enhancing the home’s architectural character while improving durability and moisture protection. We also replaced the original entry with a sleek, modern iron door unit that complements the updated façade and reinforces the home's design vision.

These bathrooms are composed with clean architectural clarity, balancing crisp geometry and warm materiality. Large-format stone tile wraps the walls and sloped ceilings to create a continuous, monolithic envelope, while custom millwork and floating vanities reinforce strong horizontal lines and visual order. The freestanding tub reads as a sculptural element within the space, and warm wood flooring softens the palette and grounds the composition. Brushed brass fixtures provide subtle contrast and refinement, resulting in a calm, well-proportioned interior where detailing and material transitions are deliberately restrained.
