Helping active families build a timeless, custom home that enhances their lifestyle.
Mission Statement
A home is made to be lived in, and needs to keep the inhabitants healthy while showing its beauty with age. By using timeless designs and building to standards above code, the home remains a healthy environment, avoids trends, and will pay dividends years later in the building’s longevity.
Timeless Construction
Timeless design and construction methods remain relevant outside of design trends. A house of the same size built in the 1960s with odd proportions versus a 200 year old traditional home will have dramatically different aesthetic and resale value. Getting the details correct are immediately noticeable when you can't seem to tell why, but you feel more comfortable in the same amount of space.
