Our Services

Design is where every project begins, and a vital part of its success. As a design-build firm with deep roots in construction, we lead projects from initial concept through completion, aligning vision and execution under one roof. This integration allows ideas to evolve alongside the realities of building, so every decision advances the build — defining scope, reinforcing strategy, and keeping the project moving with clarity and momentum.

It starts with people who see the whole picture, who understand that design is just one part of a much larger system. From zoning and permitting to sequencing, systems, and finishes, every choice has a ripple effect. Good design in a design-build setting means shaping a plan that supports the entire process — one that’s flexible, responsive, and grounded in how things actually get built. Our in-house team leads much of the schematic and architectural detailing, allowing us to move fluidly between design and construction while keeping the project aligned, coordinated, and on track.

When outside expertise is needed, we bring in the right partners — architects, engineers, and specialists — and lead the process with the same clarity, accountability, and attention to detail that define our in-house work.

We approach each project with a builder’s mindset and a designer’s eye, balancing creativity with constructibility and setting projects up for success long before construction begins.

Building a custom home is one of the most ambitious and rewarding projects a homeowner can take on. It demands clear communication, rigorous planning, and a deep understanding of both design and construction.

The process spans zoning, design, permitting, engineering, and construction, each phase influencing the next in ways that aren’t always obvious. We take the lead from day one, bringing structure to what can otherwise feel overwhelming. Our design development process aligns vision with construction strategy early, giving us the ability to manage cost, timing, and complexity with precision.

We stay deeply involved throughout, planning thoroughly and communicating clearly. When outside specialists are needed, we bring them in, but we remain the hub — ensuring the entire team is aligned and the project stays on course.

Working with an existing home, whether renovating or adding on, presents a unique set of challenges. Older structures come with unknowns: hidden conditions, outdated systems, and design choices that no longer fit how people live today. At the same time, there’s often something worth keeping. We strive to help strike that balance — preserving what matters while improving how the home works.

Our renovation process begins with a deep dive into the existing structure: assessing framing, utilities, and layout to uncover both opportunities and constraints. We then develop a design that respects the character of the home while improving flow, function, and performance. Whether it’s reworking the layout, upgrading systems, or expanding the footprint, we plan carefully to ensure the new work integrates seamlessly with the old.

Because renovations often involve surprises, we build flexibility into both the design and the construction approach. Our team then leads the process from start to finish, coordinating trades, managing logistics, and overseeing zoning, engineering, and construction details — so the finished product feels cohesive, intentional, and built to last.

Restoring a historic home begins with a deep respect for its architectural heritage. Our process starts with thorough research into the original construction methods and materials, laying the groundwork for a restoration plan that balances historical authenticity with modern performance.

With decades of experience, our master craftsmen bring unmatched skill and sensitivity to every project. Their long-standing dedication to traditional building techniques ensures that each detail — from period-appropriate millwork to historically accurate finishes — is executed with precision and care.

We collaborate closely with preservation experts and specialized trades to navigate the complexities of restoration. Whether integrating modern mechanical systems discreetly or preserving original architectural elements, we approach each project with reverence, technical expertise, and a commitment to honoring the past while preparing the home for the future.

Take advantage of the Massachusetts Affordable Homes Act, which now allows homeowners to build ADUs — up to 900 square feet — in single-family zones, by right! While the law simplifies zoning, the process still involves careful planning: site layout, utility connections, code compliance, and often, creative design to maximize compact spaces. Whether you're planning a guest house, in-law suite, or rental unit, we guide you through every step — from design and permitting to construction and final inspection. Our team ensures your ADU is beautifully integrated with your property, fully code-compliant, and tailored to your needs, all while maximizing the new flexibility the law provides.

The character of a home often comes down to the details — the way a ceiling line draws your eye, the weight of a handrail, the way built-ins feel like they’ve always belonged. We design and build architectural features that feel like a natural part of the structure, from exposed beams and custom trim to staircases, paneling, and one-of-a-kind cabinetry.

These elements aren’t just decorative — they’re part of how a home works and feels. We think through proportions, transitions, and materials early in the process so each feature fits naturally into the whole. Whether it’s a clean-lined modern profile or something more traditional, the goal is the same: to make the details feel like they were always meant to be there.

Integrating smart technology into a home requires more than installing devices — it’s about designing a system that’s reliable, secure, and intuitive. We begin by assessing your needs and infrastructure, then develop a plan that may include lighting automation, climate control, multi-room audio, surveillance, and energy management. We coordinate with low-voltage specialists and AV integrators to ensure seamless installation for a home that responds to you — quietly and intelligently.

We believe outdoor spaces should be just as inviting and functional as the interiors. That’s why we partner with some of the area’s leading landscape design firms to create environments that seamlessly extend your living space and elevate your lifestyle.

From custom patios and outdoor kitchens to poolside pavilions and garden retreats, we design and build spaces that are perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or simply enjoying the seasons. Whether you're envisioning a quiet morning sanctuary or a lively gathering space, we’ll help you bring it to life — so you can step outside and feel right at home.
