This home was designed in collaboration with interior designer Cathy Jobe. Our goal was to create a residence that felt Mediterranean, yet looked like it belonged in Colonial Mexico. We had a large lot to work with so were able to create ample garden and patio spaces around the structures. We used 3D modeling software to build a digital version of the project, which then allowed us to design custom elements throughout. Every detail was developed and perfected using the software. The project consisted of approximately 11,000 sq. ft. on two levels. |

Casa Zambra, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, MéxicoCasa Zambra was designed and built as part of a development that we created in 2001. We purchased a large lot in the colonial center of San Miguel and then subdivided it into three parcels. The concept for this house was to use the rich colors and patterns of southern Spain, incorporated into traditional colonial Mexican architecture. This project consisted of approximately 5,000 sq. ft. on three levels. |

Pond Village House, Brookfield VermontPond Village house was completed in 2006. We started with a disaster of a 60's house, as you can see in the before photos. Our goal was to create a home that felt like it belonged in Vermont. We removed the top floor and roof as well as a small two story addition. We then gutted the entire house and completely reconfigured the floor plan. We added an attached garage and a large screened porch with an outdoor kitchen. We also added all new windows and doors, as well as the three story stone chimney structure with three wood burning fireplaces. The project consisted of approximately 2,700 sq. ft. on three levels.

Casa San Andrés, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, MéxicoCasa San Andés had been abandoned for 40 years when we began our restoration and remodel in 1997. Because of its prime location in the historical center of San Miguel, the national historical preservation group (INAH) closely monitored all of our work. We had to install all new plumbing and electrical systems, in addition to adding two bedrooms, two baths and a laundry to the upper level. We also built an outdoor dining area and a pool. As much as possible, we duplicated authentic building techniques in order to create a seamless project.

Casa Cho Co LatteCasa Cho Co Latte was completely remodeled in 2016. We have worked with the owners over the years on several major design and construction projects to their home, and this was the latest collaboration. The challenge was to take a dark and somewhat awkward space and open it up to light and view.

Casa BoxCasa Box was designed and built as part of a small development that we created in 2005, with Hal and Eden Box. The Boxes had purchased a large lot in the Atascadero section of San Miguel, but did not want to build on all of the land. We came up with a plan to divide the property into three lots, and design three houses that would work together to provide maximum light, view and privacy. This home consisted of approximately 6,000 sq. ft. on two levels.

Casa Nueva EspañaCasa Nueva España had been a clinic and a kindergarten when we began the remodel in 1996. We added the "portales" or covered walkway that surrounds the patio and added the pool. We also completely renovated the rest of the house creating three bedrooms with en suite baths, a library and an outdoor living area.

Williamstown House, Williamstown VermontWilliamstown House was our first project in New England. It was a simple farmhouse with an old barn. It had been added onto over the years and had lost its simple charm. We stripped away the additions and added a second story. Then we exposed the post and beam structure and added a stone fireplace. Finally, we added a metal roof which is part of the Vermont vernacular. The project consisted of approximately 1,400 sq. ft.
