Custom Home Building

Heavy timber, stone, ICF, and standing-seam metal. Materials and methods chosen for 200-year durability — not 30-year builder-grade shortcuts.

200-Year Standard

Homes Built for Generations

The difference between a 30-year house and a 200-year home is in every single decision — the foundation depth, the timber species, the roofing system, the fastener grade, the mechanical layout. We obsess over these details because they compound over decades.

Every home we build uses materials chosen for permanence and methods chosen for structural integrity. No OSB. No vinyl. No builder-grade anything. The result is a home your grandchildren's grandchildren will inherit.

Materials & Methods

How We Build

Heavy Timber & Mass Timber

Douglas fir, white oak, and reclaimed timber structural systems. Post-and-beam, timber frame, and hybrid construction that gets stronger with age.

Stone & Masonry

Local stone, full-depth masonry, and lime mortar. Exterior cladding and structural walls that weather beautifully and last centuries.

ICF Foundations

Insulated concrete form foundations that provide structural strength, thermal performance, and moisture resistance far beyond conventional poured concrete.

Standing-Seam Metal Roofing

Galvalume and copper standing-seam roofs rated for 60+ years with minimal maintenance. Properly detailed for snow, ice, and high-wind environments.

Passive Solar Design

Orientation, glazing placement, thermal mass, and natural ventilation designed to reduce energy consumption without sacrificing comfort or aesthetics.

Mechanical Systems

Hydronic heating, ERV ventilation, and mechanical systems designed for serviceability and longevity — not planned obsolescence. Accessible, repairable, replaceable.

Our Process

From Design Through Construction

We handle the entire lifecycle — site-specific architectural design, structural engineering, permitting, and construction management. One team from first sketch to final walkthrough.

  • Site-specific architectural design
  • Structural and geotechnical engineering
  • Permitting and code compliance
  • Material sourcing — timber, stone, metal
  • Construction management and quality control
  • On-grid or off-grid energy and water systems

Built Into the Land

Mountainside Construction

Some of our most ambitious builds are carved directly into the mountainside — stone retaining walls anchored to bedrock, heavy timber floor systems laid over excavated foundations, and structures that become part of the terrain itself. These aren't houses placed on a hill. They're homes that grow out of it.

  • Excavation and hillside site preparation
  • Stone and masonry retaining wall systems
  • Earth-sheltered and bermed construction
  • Drainage and waterproofing for below-grade walls
  • Panoramic views integrated into structural design
