New construction. Down-to-the-studs gut rehabs. Kitchens and baths. We’ve done it all.

Building in a dense, developed environment is challenging for many reasons. Balancing limited access, outdated zoning, requirements to maintain existing structures, all while prioritizing efficiency and the needs of modern living are just a few of the hurdles we have to clear.

Our small scale, collaborative approach allows us to carefully consider all aspects of each project, in order to produce a thoughtfully built, practical, and beautiful home, all within a defined budget.

Modernist Hideaway

Our most extensive project. Full renovation to a circa 1954 mid-century Modern masterpiece, plus two additions in keeping with the architect’s original design. 4 years in process. Challenging existing site conditions required extensive problem solving to realize the project brief. We retrofitted radiant floor heat into the existing slab, incorporated countless custom details throughout, and worked hand in hand with the design team, contractor, site team, landscapers and other specialty trades to engage them all in producing a truly special, one of a kind home.

College Ave

Completed in a short 8 month schedule, we gutted an existing 2 family structure set in a tight lot in Arlington, MA. The resulting triplex units were each completed with finished basement ensuite bedrooms, decks on multiple levels, all new utilities and high efficiency appliances. Typically, developments like this result in one unit being appreciably “nicer” than the other, but with thoughtful design and attention to detail, we were able to balance the advantages of each unit, resulting in two very equal homes. And, despite high mortgage rates, both units sold with multiple offers and above asking.
