Schel Chelb Home

We are excited to share these beautiful photos of our recently completed Schel Chelb home.  We enjoyed working with BC&J Architects and their fantastic design sensibilities on this project.

New boathouse from the water

The first phase of our Waterfront Bungalow project, the construction of the 200 sf boathouse with cantilevered deck over the water is coming along nicely, as seen in this photo taken from the water earlier today.

Konieczny’s Ark

Parker Remodel

When our clients first approached us with their plans to demo their 2400 sf 1960s rambler and build a new home from scratch, we immediately jumped at the challenge to salvage the home instead.  The significant waste and environmental impacts from new construction are something we like to avoid when possible, and we love the […]
