You choose the configuration that fits your life; the decisions are made. Fixed price at design, design in 8–14 weeks, and every selection warranted.
Build your budget →Beyond the catalogue
A different layout, a specific material, a structural change. A design-build engagement on the same system — a design fee, a longer timeline, the same standards.

Done once, done right.
Work is organized in four domains.
The building works before any system turns on. Orientation, envelope, thermal mass, overhangs, operable openings on two walls of every primary room.
Materials that age gracefully — brass that patinas, stone that wears smooth, wood that gets richer with time. Red List Free across every standard package. Selected for provenance, health, and environmental impact.
Mechanical. Weighted. Tactile. Brass, bronze, steel, wood. No app required to dim a light or open a door.
Solar, heat pump, HRV, leak detection, seismic sensors. Networked where useful. Never in the daily loop.
No instructions required.
