02 The work
Most portfolios show the photograph and stop. Each project here tells the rest: what the house had to do, what it's made of and why, how long each phase actually ran, and how architecture and building worked together — because that's what you're really buying.

Modern · New custom home
Solana Point, Alder Bay waterfront
A pavilion house on the point — cantilevered walnut canopy, an infinity edge to the bay, and not one repeated detail.
Transitional · New custom home
Briar Hollow, Carrington foothills
Fieldstone, sand-float stucco and white-oak carriage doors — a hill-country house that will read as well in forty years as it did on day one.
Classical & heritage · New custom home
Calloway Lane, Alder Bay
A painted-brick Georgian set in a working pear orchard — true divided-light sashes, plaster cornices, geometry you can feel from the road.
Classical & heritage · Renovation & addition
Fenwick Lane, Old Alder Bay
A 1928 Tudor rebuilt from the studs while keeping every ounce of its character — clinker brick, leaded glass and a kitchen that finally works.
Modern · Renovation & addition
Larkin Terrace, Alder Bay heights
A 1961 hillside modern, doubled in glass and restored in mahogany — the addition reads as if the original architect simply kept drawing.
Transitional · New custom home
Hollis Road, Carrington valley
Board-and-batten cedar, a standing-seam roof and a granite stoop — a farmhouse without the costume, built for weather and grandchildren.
A small portfolio is the point. Eight homes a year means every house here had a principal on site weekly, the same superintendent throughout, and a budget book we'd happily show you — names redacted, numbers intact.
Begin
Start with the fit check — four questions, two minutes — or come straight to a first meeting. Either way, the numbers get said out loud.
