Modern. Minimal. Breathtaking.
A Net Zero Ready home designed to frame the landscape, inside and out.
Wrapped in glass and rooted in stone, this modern build pulls the outside in with stunning clarity. Every window is intentional, capturing panoramic views that shift with the seasons and flood the interior with natural light. Clean lines, sustainable systems, and timeless materials create a home that feels both elevated and grounded.
Step outside and the story continues. Structural concrete tiers respond to the topography, unfolding into bluestone patios, native plantings, and quiet moments of pause. A landscape built with the same care, intention, and longevity as the home itself - modern, durable, and ready to thrive.

It started with a van and a vision…
No business plan - No investors - No direction. Just belief, vision, and long days.
Fast forward: Multiple divisions. Multiple builds and a team built on trust and respect. We’re proud of where we started and now more focused than ever on where we’re going. So what’s next and how do we get there?
Together, the same way we always have!

What sets us apart?

🔹Airtight detailing
🔸Craftsmanship without compromise
Now? You’d never know. Every line is crisp. Every system balanced. From air barrier to final finish, this home reflects what it takes to build high performance. This is what happens when the stakes are high and the standard are even higher.

Growth comes with pressure.
Pressure to refine ▪️To Rebuild▪️To Evolve
Every company hits breakpoints, it’s part of the process. But pushing through? That takes clarity, commitment, grit and a collective effort. We’re not shying away from it, we’re leaning in 🦾.

A glimpse behind the curtain of our Net Zero completions!
We took a 150-year-old balloon-framed duplex, occupied on the first floor, while we pushed the boundaries of what’s possible above it. This is no ordinary addition/renovation. This is what happens when every detail matters, and the stakes are high!
🔹Net Zero is the goal.
🔸Precision is the path.
