Our projects vary widely in scale and style. We do not ascribe to a “signature style,” but pride ourselves on being careful listeners who take the time to understand our client’s aesthetic preferences and functional needs.

All of our work is informed by a building’s existing architectural elements, the character of the people, and the spirit of the places we affect.

This Cape Cod style home features a sun-filled living room features a cozy window seat with custom built-in bookcases.
For this home office, we designed the ultimate backdrop featuring custom blackened bronze and white oak bookshelves for displaying a vast collection of awards, keepsakes and tchotchkes.
