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

As a residential architecture firm we have the privilege of really getting to know our clients. We love learning about their passions, dreams, and background to design a home customized for them. We thought it would fun for our clients – past, present and future – to get to know each of us a little

We like to celebrate Valentine’s Day with a post we like to call “Love Home”. We started this series back in 2014, with a post sharing what some of our readers love about their homes. All of your answers were so good that we’ve continued the series nearly every year. From inspiration from friends, to

After working in close collaboration with a number of local contractors for more than five years, we decided to start building our own Construction Management team.

After the winter weather last week, we’ve been dreaming of modern homes in winter settings. We often get questions from clients about whether being upstate during the winter is really worth it. They also often have questions about whether our homes are good for four seasons – especially with so much glass! We’re thrilled to

We’re kicking off the new year by checking in on BC Retreat! Last time we did an update on this project, windows install had started and the house wrap had gone up. Since then, most of the windows have been fully installed and siding install is progressing well. In addition to the main house, we’ve

We’re taking a look back at our past year and sharing some of our biggest wins. From having lots of projects On the Boards, to moving many projects to construction, we’ve been lucky to work on some pretty phenomenal homes! We put together a short video showcasing some of our favorite moments from the past

Construction on Cluster One has been moving steadily along! In September, we had completed most of the exterior framing for the house, large part in thanks to a factory-built system. To give you another perspective on how it all happened, we’re sharing a timelapse video at the bottom of this post. Since then, we’ve made
