If you’ve been following along on our Instagram stories or Facebook, you know that we’ve been working on something special… Project Hoot began during our team offsite in April. This year, our usual team-building construction activity was revealed to be a

As we design for our new projects, House 222, Aurora View, and Big Indian, we’ve considered different ways to integrate firepits into their outdoor spaces. We previously designed a covered firepit space at Bully Hill House (pictured above). For Aurora View we have been using the relationship between the house and cliffs at the back

It is hard to believe that our last construction update at South Mountain House was back in July! We’ve made lots of progress on the house and it should be nearing completion in the next few months. We’re thrilled to be able to share the grand see-thru entryway that steps down through the house and
