Consult, collaborate, create something new. This lakehouse in the northwoods glows with unique aspects from every view.

 Knowing when and how to source "custom" can make all the difference to a project.  This custom designed and fabricated stairway features elegant tread cutouts and was installed on the outside of a second story for quick access to the lake, and sauna,  from the recreation room.

 A 1930s Georgian Mansion is brought into the 21st century but still retains its charm and dignity. Peeling away 70s era remodels and materials, remodeled bathrooms and kitchen, the home is a functional delight once again.

 Inspiration and form follows function, but also the essence of those that will inhabit the space.  My job is to interpret, edit, budget, create, while expecting a longevity that is classic.  Avoiding the "what were they thinking?" comments even 20 years later.

 Transforming a corner lot into a magical retreat takes planning--an enclosed backyard, perennial plantings, a bubbling brook and small pond invitng birds and children to play.  A firepit, a hammock, a grille, and a hot tub--private, but right in the city.  What more could you want?

 An awkward layout and a little demo, the ktichen becomes functional, inviting, and respects its heritage.
