Wishing you all the best for the New Year. Cheers to 2020!  

We’ve come a long way since our last Construction Update for Tranquil Abiding in September. The masons have been hard at work crafting, cutting, chiseling, and precisely laying out each stone on the exterior. The stonework is truly a work of art, and we are extremely grateful that our team of masons are such skilled artisans.

Field + Supply is a “Modern Makers Craft Fair” that is held in the Hudson Valley twice a year. It started 5 years ago as a small modern craft fair and has grown significantly in makers and attendees. It’s one of my favorite events in the Hudson Valley and something I look forward to each year.

Since our last Construction Update on Tranquil Abiding about two months ago, our contractors have been busy to say the least!

Last week my team and I attended the CRAN Symposium in Scottsdale, Arizona and we had a blast! Studio MM at Taliesin West by Frank Lloyd Wright CRAN, which stands for Custom Residential Architect’s Network, is a “Knowledge Community” of the AIA (American Institute of Architects)  for residential architects to get together and do what
