In much of the home, the stairs, floors and cabinetry are made of European white oak. “If I had to single out any one person, it would be James Northey, who did the high-end custom woodwork,” says the homeowner. “He is a craftsman in a league of his own.”

Our Work

We work on a diverse range of projects across the Lower Mainland with some of the most accomplished Architects, Designers, and Builders our industry has to offer. We typically employ 15-20 highly skilled craftsmen including journeyman carpenters, joiners, and furniture makers. This mix of talent allows us to bring unique skill sets to each project.


PRIVATE RESIDENCE 3

25,000 sqft of woodworking heaven! We are incredibly grateful to have been entrusted with the interior architecture of this home. Having been asked to design the interior for a client we’d never met, was challenging. To say the least. With the limited intel provided by the home owners son-in-law, we were able to establish a design focus we felt would both inspire, and offer a sense of timelessness. We drew inspiration from the homeowner’s love of nature and developed organic shapes in the profiles, details and fixtures. All of it, flavoured lightly in the French Provincial Style.

West 6th Residence

This project included fabricating and installing the custom interior door package, African mahogany library millwork as well as custom interior balustrades, and providing all finishing carpentry services. We were delighted to work alongside Lesli Balagno of Heffel Balagno Design Consultants and Keystone Projects Ltd., and it also needs to be said how much we enjoyed working with the homeowners. What a difference it makes to the finished product, knowing your time and effort is so appreciated.

 

Belmont Residence

The scope of this project was extensive. Our work included:

  • All interior and exterior carpentry

  • Fabrication of custom African teak doors and several windows

  • Interior balustrades

  • Interior and exterior glass installation

  • All finishing carpentry services

  • Technical framing


Private ResIdence 1

This project is one of our favourites. Thanks to the homeowners affording us endless creative freedom and a blank canvas, I'm now the proud owner of an extensive American Victorian/Craftsman Style library. Given the amount of detail associated with this period (circa 1895), we were tasked with assembling and managing a team of trades capable of executing the complex old world finishes. Designing each and every room with equal attention to detail was immensely challenging but tremendously gratifying. 

Virtually every interior elevation in the house was hand drawn with pencil on vellum and our team went to work on making the drawings come to life with 95% of the woodwork fabricated on site.
