Here's looking back at the Historic District porch re-do that finished up this Fall. The homeowners asked to peel back the 50s era hoping the original siding would be intact. It was, for the most part - we lucked out. A sagging and deficient porch replaced with a historically appropriate new structure. None possible without the great works of: Sentiny LLC and LBS Demolition

Here's a Schematic Design render for a new front porch, attached to a typical Ann Arbor Cape Cod house. Start dreaming up your best lemonade recipe! It may be grey and cold out now, but we are cooking up Spring and Summer dreams over here!

Our 3D renderings (even when in "white box" mode) can really show our clients how things will look before a hammer is even lifted. The Northside multi-faceted project is moving along! Look at that slick garden shed!

Lake House renovation/addition is going along at a super smooth pace! Beautiful Fall views even thru the window wrap! Kudos to Doyle Homes - tons and tons of sharpie notes all around the place for their crew and subs to build it out exactly as we planned it!

We love the process from beginning to end with our clients! It’s even sweeter when they share a note (and photo) with us, during the build!

“The view of lake is so spectacular from the addition. (Kim kicking back in photo). You did fantastic work on both the remodel and addition!!”
