Craftsmanship

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.
