About Our Studio
We are an exterior design practice specializing in curb appeal transformations that unite architecture, materials, and landscape into a polished, durable whole.
Discovery and Site Assessment
We begin by mapping constraints, opportunities, and your vision to set a clear, achievable project brief.
Neighborhood Context Analysis
We study adjacent architecture, streetscape rhythm, roof pitches, typical setbacks, and material palettes to ensure your home feels at home yet confidently distinct. Sun paths, traffic patterns, and sightlines inform visibility, privacy, and where design investments will have the greatest curb impact.
Existing Condition Survey
A thorough survey documents substrate integrity, moisture pathways, failed coatings, flashing details, and thermal bridges. We capture measurements, photographs, and material samples to verify buildability and identify risks early, guiding what can be restored, what should be replaced, and which upgrades deliver the best performance per dollar.
Design Vision and Style Direction
We define an aesthetic direction that honors the home’s bones while elevating presence and livability.

Facade Materials and Finish Selection
We select durable, climate-appropriate materials that look refined and age gracefully.
Color Strategy and Palette Development
We craft layered palettes that refine proportions and strengthen curb presence in changing light.
Entry Experience and Front Door Design
We elevate arrival with proportion, security, and inviting detail.
Door Styles and Hardware
We compare slab, panel, and glass-lite configurations for light, privacy, and style. Materials, core ratings, and weatherstripping are matched to climate. Hardware suites—handlesets, escutcheons, kick plates, and multipoint locks—coordinate finishes for cohesion while improving security, ergonomics, and long-term tactile quality.
Porch and Stair Enhancements
We tune tread depth, riser height, and handrail profiles to feel generous and code-compliant. Columns, ceiling boards, and skirting add architectural weight, while slip-resistant surfaces improve safety. Thoughtful positioning of benches, planters, and mats supports comfortable transitions from street to threshold in every season.
Address Numbers, Mailboxes, and Smart Access
A cohesive suite of address numbers, mailboxes, doorbells, and smart locks reinforces identity and convenience. We ensure daytime readability and nighttime illumination, discreet wiring, and weather protection. Integrated cameras and parcel boxes handle deliveries gracefully, reducing clutter and keeping the entry refined and secure.
Windows, Shutters, and Glazing
We refine openings for symmetry, performance, and character.
Proportion, Mullions, and Grids
We assess window sizes against wall area and interior use, aligning head heights and sill lines to strengthen rhythm. Simulated divided lite patterns echo architectural style without compromising efficiency. We refine casing dimensions and sill projections so shadows shape the facade with elegant, consistent depth.
Shutters: Functional and Decorative
We recommend operable or fixed shutters based on climate and tradition, ensuring correct sizing to cover openings if closed. Hardware—hinges, pintles, and holdbacks—adds authenticity. Material choices balance weight, stability, and paint performance, delivering charm that withstands weather and resists warping over many seasons.
High-Performance Glass and Films
We select glazing with appropriate U-factors, solar heat gain coefficients, and visible transmittance to balance comfort and efficiency. Laminated options improve security and sound control. Films can reduce glare and UV damage while allowing existing frames to remain, providing a cost-conscious, minimally disruptive performance upgrade.
Rooflines, Gables, and Eaves
We shape the silhouette for protection, proportion, and presence.
Roof Material Upgrades
We evaluate asphalt, standing seam metal, slate, and synthetic composites for longevity, wind ratings, and maintenance. Color and reflectivity affect thermal loads and palette harmony. We coordinate flashing, ridge vents, and snow guards to protect details below, ensuring the roof crowns the composition with authority.
Gable Treatments and Venting
Gable brackets, vents, and siding orientation create character and improve attic health. We align returns, bargeboards, and trim depths for crisp shadow lines. Vent sizing and placement balance airflow with weather protection, keeping insulation dry, reducing heat build-up, and preventing premature roof aging or ice dams.
Eave Details, Soffits, and Fascia
We refine overhang depth for storm protection and balanced massing. Vented soffits, durable fascia materials, and drip edges direct water away cleanly. Integrating hidden gutters or robust half-rounds minimizes staining and maintenance while preserving crisp profiles that frame the facade with tailored precision.
Exterior Lighting and Nighttime Identity
We design layered illumination for safety, drama, and efficiency.
Contact usPath and Step Illumination
We calculate light levels to prevent glare and create welcoming guidance from curb to door. Shielded fixtures, consistent color temperature, and deliberate spacing produce even, elegant patterns. Controls integrate dusk sensors and timers so energy use stays low while guests always arrive confidently and safely.
Facade Grazing and Accent Spots
Grazing highlights textures in stone, brick, or board-and-batten without washing everything flat. Beam angles, mounting distances, and lumen output are tuned to avoid hotspots. Accents pick out columns, house numbers, and planting forms, giving the home a memorable nighttime signature that photographs beautifully.
Smart Controls and Energy Management
App-based scheduling, scenes, and occupancy sensors simplify operation and reduce wasted energy. Separate circuits for paths, entries, and accents enable seasonal tweaks. We specify dimmable, high-CRI LEDs with weatherproof connections and surge protection, ensuring reliable performance and easy maintenance for years of confident illumination.
Landscaping and Hardscape Integration
We weave plantings and surfaces into a cohesive architectural frame.
Sustainability and Resilience
We elevate performance with low-impact materials and durable detailing.
Low-Carbon Materials and Sourcing
We prioritize products with verified environmental declarations, recycled content, and responsible forestry. Regional sourcing reduces transport impacts, and modular components limit waste. Long-life finishes and repairable assemblies cut future replacements, lowering lifecycle costs while supporting a resilient, healthier exterior for decades to come.
Thermal Upgrades and Air Sealing
Continuous insulation, careful flashing, and robust air barriers increase comfort and reduce energy bills. We coordinate window tapes, sealants, and transitions at penetrations to minimize drafts and moisture. The result is quieter interiors, fewer cold spots, and finishes that last longer thanks to controlled assemblies.
Storm, Pest, and UV Resistance
Enhanced fasteners, impact-rated glazing, and properly rated claddings protect against storms. UV-stable coatings and screened vents deter sun damage and pests. We specify gaskets, end caps, and stainless hardware to avoid corrosion, keeping details tight, aligned, and handsome through harsh seasons and intense sunlight.
Construction, Permits, and Aftercare
We manage approvals, build quality, and long-term maintenance with clarity.
Approvals and Permit Set Preparation
We prepare code-compliant drawings, specifications, and details for municipal review and HOA boards. Clear elevations, color callouts, and product data reduce questions and delays. We track submittals, respond promptly, and coordinate inspections so construction can begin on time with minimal surprises.
Build Quality and Site Management
We schedule trades to protect finished work, sequence weather-sensitive tasks, and maintain clean sites. Mockups verify critical joints and color breaks. Regular checklists and photos document progress, while punch lists close gaps quickly, ensuring the built result matches design intent and performs as promised.
Care Guides and Seasonal Maintenance
We deliver simple care guides covering washing schedules, sealant inspections, touch-up protocols, and gutter maintenance. Seasonal reminders help protect warranties and preserve appearance. Clear instructions empower homeowners to keep materials looking fresh and functioning, maximizing return on investment year after year.
