In our most recent series, we’re exploring each of our design phases to give you an in-depth look at our process. Our first post in the series highlighted Schematic Design and all of the different points of inspiration we can have, plan iterations that we draw, and decisions that we ask our clients to make.
It’s hard to believe that it has already been three months since our last construction update on Kaat Cliffs.

The foundation walls were backfilled in February and framing started
While we love sharing Construction Updates and Behind the Design posts for projects that we are currently working on, we also occasionally enjoy looking back at our past work. Recently, we’ve been working on putting together some videos and materials for Tranquil Abiding. We completed this home back in July of 2020 and it was

It’s hard to believe that we haven’t yet done a construction update on South Mountain House!

In the past few months, we’ve kicked off a lot of new projects. We shared some of them in January’s On the Boards post and are looking forward to sharing details on others soon. Lately we’ve also had many potential client calls asking us about our design process, so we thought we’d start a new
Winter in upstate New York this year has been snowy, cold and somewhat unforgiving – but that doesn’t mean that we are slowing down on BC Retreat.
