63% of American households are 1-2 person. Most people I ask guess between 20-40% and are shocked to learn it’s 63%. 1-3 person households? 79%. Meaning: we have a housing mismatch—household sizes are much smaller than the average ~2500 sq/ft house. Wrote about it in most…
Played with green-on-green here. Walls, casing & cabinet same green, ceiling and doors complimentary green. Shower is Carrara and floors are my absolute favorite: Belgium Bluestone. Most of this stuff is very reasonably priced (Carrara is ~$12/ft). Love the natural finishes!
Got to have an awesome conversation with Devon Zuegel @devonzuegel on this episode of The Building Culture Podcast! She's smart, fun, optimistic, has a big vision, and is all about solving problems rather than just talking about them. What do I mean? Well, she's working on…
A few of our projects over the years. Looking forward to late this year when we break ground on Townsend, our mixed-use, urban infill neighborhood. Fun stuff coming!
Our built world isn’t a thoughtful response to the question: “how do we build the best possible habitat for humans and everyone in between—kids through elderly—to not just survive, but thrive?” Humans are complex. What we build should produce social, spiritual, economic and…

Other under-stairs options to use space effectively. Showed day bed before. Here we have a desk & storage to left (or Harry Potter nook—little kids make a beeline to it when they walk into house. They’re not used to seeing their scale reflected in architecture). Have fun w/ it!
Our 1040 project. Stained trim is back. Key is to not do too much of it, or too dark, or too light (Scandinavian feel). Unless you want to of course. Here we did a medium tone on red oak. A transitional vibe that feels part 100 year old historic home but fresh and sleek.
We love using the often-underutilized space under stairs for something special. Here we did what I call a cuddle-nook. Perfect for reading, kids, and family cuddles. @Build_Culture
Heading upstairs on our 1900 Oso project to the master bedroom. Clerestory windows behind bed for light + privacy. The brick, stone sills and arches bring so much richness, just in the architecture itself. Locally reclaimed beams on ceiling to complete it all.

Truly incredible
Etsy is an incredible place to find unique architectural salvage pieces at a reasonable price. The front door was something we found locally & restored, but the newel post & Moroccan French doors we found on Etsy. Truly unique pieces that really shape the feel of a home!
More kitchen photos from our 1900 Oso project. This grey/silver granite for countertop and backsplash is one of our favorites. People often confuse it with soapstone, but it’s substantially more durable, AND cheaper. We usually have to custom order slabs as fabricators don’t…
One of our recently completed projects. Really enjoyed how the kitchen turned out. Not sure how to classify it, but it has a Transitional-European-Farmhouse feel that’s warm, cozy, inviting, while still feeling bright and lively. A couple of my favorite colors right now,…

World Happiness Report 2024 in US: 1) Under age 30 rank 62nd (out of 143 countries) 2) Over age 60 rank 10th. 3) Overall rank: 23rd (Lithuania and Kuwait well ahead) The under 30 stat is just tragic (and compared to over 60 stat is jaw dropping). I don’t think you can pin…
1/2 We love using these interior arches to create spaces within a smaller, open floor plan to create transitions between rooms, as well as to allow people to experience the architecture and tectonics up close. Can build free standing in a wood framed building, too.
@jposhaughnessy He’s remarkable. Are you familiar with Guastavino? Spanish master builder (contemporary of Gaudi) who immigrated to the US late 19th century, landing in NY with his son. Went on to build absolutely unbelievable unreinforced masonry vaults and domes that are truly mind…
