Mies van der Rohe said "God is in the details".
I believe that to be true. With a background in
carpentry and woodworking I pay particular
attention to the finish details. I believe it is the
crafted details that make a project unique and personalized for its owners.
Details

Windows:
Custom mutin bars in the bay cascade
down the building's facade becoming
thinner as it drops through three stories.


Mantel:
The custom mantel includes hand made tiles inlaid in the panels
below the mantel shelf. The mantel
is designed to display the center
plate and matching urns as well.
.



Porch railing detail:
The client wanted a railing that would provide privacy from the street. The cut-out panels are made from laminated mahogany planks.The design is an abstracted floral motif typical for the Arts & Crafts period of the home.


The new railing on the left leads to a mudroom in the rear of the house. The design is inspired by the more formal stair assembly in the entry hall pictured below. The cut-outs are a playfull interpretation of the original balusters while the newel includes an incised design from the intermediate newels of the formal stair.




When I suggested using a paving pattern to embellish the courtyrad the owner, a Canadian
requested a Fleur-de-lis. The pattern is make of bluestone and blue/grey brick pavers.

We wanted an railing system that provided privacy fot the
sleeping loft. I suggested the
homeowner, a graphic designer and print maker, design cut panels to be inserted in a railing system.
To be economical, it needed to be a repetative pattern that the contractor could easily cut from a template.
