Our
aim is to collaborate with homeowners to design and create buildings (and
landscapes) that harmonize with nature. We strive to keep it simple and
affordable, using the abundance of our surrounding resources (e.g.
pine, hemlock, rocks, sand, and clay); this keeps costs down and maintains a
feeling of unity with the natural landscape.
