Helping active families build a timeless, custom home that enhances their lifestyle.

Mission Statement

A home is made to be lived in, and needs to keep the inhabitants healthy while showing its beauty with age. By using timeless designs and building to standards above code, the home remains a healthy environment, avoids trends, and will pay dividends years later in the building’s longevity.

Healthy Home

Investing in a healthy home is like going for a run. You immediately notice the endorphins flowing through your blood, the same way you will immediately notice cleaner air. Every day you will better your health by building on yesterday's accomplishments and moving away from harmful off gassing and stale air just as you build on your endurance over a long term training plan.

Timeless Construction

Timeless design remains relevant outside of design trends. A house of the same size built in the 1960s with odd proportions versus a 200 year old traditional home will have dramatically different aesthetic and resale value. Getting the details correct are immediately noticeable when you can't seem to tell why, but you feel more comfortable in the same amount of space.
