Three brothers, one drawing table.
A home holds how you actually live. We are a family-owned firm rooted in Bellingham, building custom homes since 2005.
Building with local expertise
We design each home around the people who will live in it, not a standard plan. Our work is in Bellingham because we live here: we know the hillsides, the weather, the permitting office, and the trades.
Every project is run by one of the three of us. You will not be handed to a project manager you have never met.
