This Bemus Point renovation is proof that a new house isn’t always the answer; sometimes the best solution is reimagining what you already have! ✨With a growing family needing more space and better function, this design maximizes the existing footprint without requiring a major addition. Updated rooflines, natural materials, improved light, and intentional gathering spaces completely transform the experience of home while honoring the structure already there. 🔨Construction by

Busy season is here! Dreamy designs are becoming real spaces, and we’re having a lot of fun making it happen!

From restoring character-rich exteriors to crafting clean, modern interiors, every project is a balance of vision, precision, and care.

Grateful for the talented crews, the collaboration, and the clients who trust the process.

Proud to present plans to the City of Jamestown Planning Committee; this design is a meaningful collaboration between UCAN City Mission and St. Susan’s Center at the former Jamestown Business College.

🏛️Adapting a historic home into a place of safety for women and children while preserving its beauty.

✨Creating private, accessible spaces where families can begin again.

Grateful we get to be a part; stay tuned as this develops!

Last year, work began on a collaboration between St. Susan’s Center and UCAN City Mission to take over the buildings that used to house Jamestown Business College. The St. Susan’s Center portion of the project has been in the works, and UCAN recently introduced its portion to the city’s Planning Commission at the January meeting.

This vintage Chautauqua home was carefully lifted to allow for a full foundation replacement; a critical step in extending the life of the structure while honoring its original form.
