We can quickly move from conceptual design through construction completion within your budget and timeframe. Once construction is complete, we'll install new furniture and decor within days so you can start enjoying your new home right away.

CUSTOM FEATURE ELEMENTS & LARGE-SCALE ARTWORK



Make a bold statement. Whether it's a branding wall, custom stained glass window, entry gate, monument sign, furniture piece, or wall element, we are artists as well as designers, and can turn your vision into reality. Some of our smallest projects, such as an ornate wrought iron and gold leaf monument sign, have been the most satisfying and have been recognized with community awards. We work closely with the craftspeople needed to ensure a beautiful execution, providing a seamless experience for our clients.





SMALL OFF-GRID BUILDINGS



We are experts at small off-grid buildings that do not require a building permit. Whether it's on wheels, or permanent, we can design and manage the construction of your small space that utilizes the same type of infrastructure as recreational vehicles. We can even design a custom recreational vehicle or camper van that uses non-toxic, VOC-free products. Create a small guest room, rental unit, or yoga, meditation or art studio on your property. If it's on wheels, take it out to nature for some recreating!
