Essex Porch (Current Project 9/26)
A single pitch white oak porch for a beautiful century home on Lake Champlain. We carefully removed part of the existing granite slab patio to repair the damaged slab underneath, with a targeted reinforcement at the point-loaded post locations. Mortise and tenon joinery at the post and beam connections and an under squnited stop splayed scarf joint add strength and character. Standing seam roof to come.
Lower Saranac Tea House
Early 1900’s E.F. Hodgson Portable House rehabilitation on Lower Saranac Lake. Following a thoughtful shoring up and initial stage of rehab by Erick Sayles, we finished the project out by cladding the interior in Douglas Fir.
Westport Icehouse
A neglected, mid-1800’s Ice house in Westport, NY repaired and preserved. Original cladding and framing kept where appropriate. Locally acquired, draft-horse logged white pine flooring with cut nails. Lively oak features and updated lighting.
Lower Saranac Main House
Two sets of exterior staircases were removed and fully rebuilt on a restoration project for this stunning, early 1900’s Adirondack building replete with great camp architectural features.
