Double-Height Rear Addition
A dark, closed-in clapboard century home opened up with a double-height rear addition, a new kitchen and a 20-foot run of glazing to the back yard.

Bayers Lake · 2025
A 3,600 sq ft commercial unit converted to a working studio across six weeks of night shifts, so the tenant kept trading throughout.
A creative studio in Bayers Lake needed to double its desk count and add two sound-treated meeting rooms. The business could not close, and the team had to be able to work every weekday through the build.
An operating business, a landlord with strict rules on noise and loading dock access, and a live lease with a fixed occupancy date. The construction was straightforward; the schedule was not.
Worked backwards from the occupancy date, handled the base-building liaison, and ran six weeks of night shifts. New partitions and ceilings, full data and power coordination, mechanical adjustments, joinery, flooring and signage. The space was cleaned every morning before the team arrived.
Six weeks, delivered on the occupancy date, and the client did not lose a single billable day.
