Designed and built in Chilmark, MA, this project covers almost five acres of previous unbuilt land in the heart of the farming and artistic community that is “Up-Island” Martha’s Vineyard. We developed the house and studio as a pair of barns with low pitched roofs that sit quietly in the landscape.⁠

Construction progress at our Brooklyn Mass Timber house. The Mass Timber stair shown from the second floor bridge walkway features light flooding in from the skylight, while the kitchen cabinetry is installed on the main floor and the custom wood steps are wrapped up on the third floor conversation pit.

That’s a wrap, 2022! We continued work across the country this year, from family office spaces in Manhattan, to fish markets on Martha’s Vineyard, to an artist’s retreat in California. We even filmed a TV Show at the Chilmark House- check it out on the Magnolia Network! We thank all our clients, contractors, and design partners for your trust and support, and can’t wait to see where 2023 takes us!

📍 Brooklyn, NY

As we near completion of the Brooklyn Mass Timber House, the exterior shell of the building is closed and windows are installed to acclimate the space for installation of interior elements such as the flooring. The windows in the living room are custom-built to pay homage to the historic structure and facades of Brooklyn's carriage houses.

📍 Brooklyn, NY

An image from the moments when timber elements were delivered and installed on-site in Brooklyn. It is critical that established cities like New York embrace adaptive reuse. They can retain the character of their history, breathing new life into older buildings, while embracing a more progressive and eco-conscious future. These projects often use fewer raw materials and consistently minimize the production of waste.

An urban timber rooftop pavilion study.

This pavilion structure is geared towards a net-zero construction path, with 100% sustainably forested mass timber products as the core structure. The space is dynamic and multi-functional, acting as a space for community collaboration, meetings, symposiums, and social events for tenants of the building.

📍 Prague, Czech Republic

This project is the transition of a Czech castle complex into an eco-conscious retreat. The building concepts were sourced from the components outward. Our studio mapped the full timber yield and product resources of the Czech Republic prior to the start of design, ensuring that 100% of necessary building components could be sourced directly by the architect within a 150km range of the site.

Pictured here: the timber entry to the events hall surfaces at the very edge of the historic fabric of the castle complex. The bulk of the building is hidden one story down, nestling within the architectural and natural fabric of the landscape.
