A bathroom we just finished up as part of a whole house renovation! We added this bathroom and laundry room in the basement and used the ditra heat duo system for a nice warm floor!

An off grid cabin, tucked away at the base of the high peaks, we built over the summer.

We worked with the homeowner to incorporate a variety of reclaimed woods that he had acquired over the years. That, with timber accents from the trees felled right where the cabin stands today, was the perfect combination to make this a cozy getaway retreat.
