Defining Architecture

01
Handcraft made structural. Mythic design distilled from local historic sources, detailed with impressive masonry, carpentry, and millwork. Cottage-like interiors freely mixed with baronial spaces.

02
Not a style but a local building tradition, without pretense. Federal and Greek Revival detailing native to the region. Simple saltbox masses, prominent gable-end chimneys, and balanced windows.
Saltbox masses & catslides · Gable-end chimneys · Pencil-post rain porches · Balanced windows

03
Classicism fused with emerging modernism, the style of the “Stars.” Colonnades freely mixed with plate glass, Georgian sash refreshed in daring colors, classical elements distilled to their essence.

Site Planning

Park- or lane-frontage homesites served by gentle compacted-gravel lanes. Porte cochères are encouraged, as are courtyards designed to engage with the main living areas. ADUs are permitted above garages. Hedgerows and fences engage the façades along the streets.

Estate plans are coming soon, and available upon request. Inquire for details. Each estate lot encourages a secondary detached structure, such as a pool house, guest house, or garage. Garages are set fully behind the primary home, and motor courtyards are encouraged.

Colors & Finishes
“As much as practically possible, materials should be themselves, unaltered.”
The dominant palette is native stone, brick, plaster-finished stucco, siding, and wood. Colors stay neutral (off-white, cream, stone), with sage, slate, and mushroom reserved for doors and shutters. Schemes may be entirely monochromatic.
“Colors will complement the architecture, never commanding too much attention - they must never upstage the natural landscape.”
And every home is built from the real thing, never vinyl siding, asphalt shingles, or synthetic trim.
