The Banks Project is a small porch addition, added on to the clients existing deck we expanded the deck, built a roof and all new handrail, screened in the space and installed a fireplace.

The details include stained wood ceiling, synthetic stone fireplace and mountain laurel inserts.

The Mulay Project is a small residential cottage, it has no plumbing or heating other than the small gas natural stone fireplace. Even thought this cottage looks small it has a lot of custom home details.

The Mulay's also wanted lots of rockwork details in the surrounding grounds with a grotto by the stream, rock steps on the path that winds through the laurel bushes and rock at the base of their new custom cedar fence.

The Mica project is a commercial deck and firepit addition to the restaurant and bar located in Sapphire NC. The owner of the restaurant wanted to provide his clients with a more casual place to relax and enjoy the mountain air.

The Davis project was a renovation of the kitchen, master bathroom, powder room, a new front door and door hardware throughout the house. Old formica countertops and tile topped island was replaced with granite. The kitchen sink was replaced with a Kohler stainless steel apron sink and new faucet. The cabinets were retrofitted with sliding drawers by a local cabinet maker. The master bath got a complete new look when we removed an old fiberglass shower and tub and replaced them with full tile surround and jetted tub. The cabinets where raised from the old 32" height to a new 36" height and granite countertops installed. All door hardware was changed from brass to oil rubbed bronze for a more rustic but updated mountain look.

The project is a two story home with a slab on grade basement, passive solar design, approximately 2400sqft of house and 530sqft of garage. Difficulties with this site are the length of the driveway at nearly 750ft and the home site is resting on a rock knoll.

Stop by again to see how this project comes together.

The Anderson project was a carport with a concrete slab. The carport needed to be in keeping with the look of the log home and the woods surrounding the property. We used a lot of special touches to make the carport fit into the surroundings using locus post and mountain laurel details.

The Woods Project is a custom home that is approximately 9000sqft with two detached garages. The home's exterior is covered with natural stone, split logs from the local sawmill, rusted tin roofing, and a new rubber shake roofing product. Most of the timber used in the home was either taken from the site or from the local area.

The mechanical systems will be an exercise in new and green technologies, efficiencies and functions. Using geothermal heating and cooling, radiant heat tubes in the floor system, computerized electrical wiring system, four story elevator, in wall vacuum system, you name it this house is getting it all.

Stay tuned for more as this exciting project grows into a beautiful dream come true.

This home got an addition of a two car garage, a new back deck, a new front deck and porch roof, new paint inside and out, new carpet and maintenance on the mechanical system.

We also constructed a helicopter landing pad, taxiway and storage hanger along the side and back of the property for my clients travel needs and local emergency service availability.

The Casto project was designed for a couple who moved here full time from Florida. They wanted a home that is all on one level and a two car garage with a future build recreational area above. The house is approximately 3600sqft and the garage is approximately 550sqft. The house has a vaulted great room with a large natural stone fireplace, three bedrooms, three and a half baths, an office, open kitchen and dining, laundry and pantry.

The Briscoe project included an addition of a roof over the back deck, extension of roof over entry door, a new two car garage with driveway, new landscaping, retaining wall with a rock façade and the removal of a kitchette in the basement, patching the wood floor and new door on a laundry closet.

The original home is log construction so the addition had to match the existing home's look. We also did a lot of little projects around the exterior of the house like building fencing around the air conditioner units, gas tank and building a small decorative roof over the basement entry door.

The Olsen project was designed and built for a family who needed a small three bedroom home to fit on their tight lot. The lot had quite a few constraints, with the road in front, a stream to the left, a large swale to the right and terrain that was nearly a 40 degree drop there was a small spot for the house location. I think the final design worked well with a lot of house in a small package.

The clients requested two bedrooms with individual baths on the second floor, master on the main, vaulted living room open to the kitchen and dining room with a screened in porch all in 2000 sqft of space. I was able to design a home that would work for their budget, lot constraints and spacial needs.

The Sansalone house was built on a lot that over looks the top of a small waterfall. From the approach the house looks smaller than it really is. In reality the house is three stories tall, it has four bedroom, four and a half baths, a recreational room in the basement with a wet bar and wine cellar as well as a casual "hang-out" space in the loft.

The house has a lot of special details on the outside and inside. The exterior has details of poplar bark siding, mountain laurel and a lot of rock. The inside has details of poplar bark, mountain laurel and a lot of rock…and old antique timbers, patio stone on the entry and mud room floor, glass tiles in the showers and kitchen backsplash and a lot of hardwood on the floors.

The Diaz project was constructed using custom hand crafted logs from Canada. My job was to prepare the site and foundation for the day the log package arrived in order to set up the logs. The house was designed by the log home company to have three levels on top of a basement slab on grade. The home is approximately 1400sqft on the main level with the master bedroom and bathroom and powder room on that level and an unfinished basement that we finally finished in 2009.
