Dark posts and exposed rafters against whitewashed brick. In a house this pale, the timber is the only thing with mass, so it does the work that ornament would do elsewhere.
Hand selected reclaimed beams introduce scale, warmth and architectural character throughout the principal living spaces. Custom cabinetry, wall paneling and architectural joinery translate the character of reclaimed timber into finely crafted interior details.
Antique cypress and old growth pine connect structure, flooring and millwork, creating a layered material palette that feels collected over time rather than newly assembled.
