Company Mission

Company Mission: To design with intelligence and build with integrity.

Good design is more than just constructing a beautiful house. It is about humanizing a place, making a home out of a building, and creating comfort. Good building practice involves more than nailing pieces of wood together. It requires thoughtful planning, clear communication and a commitment to keep promises made. Our mission is to produce thoughtful designs that draw on our knowledge of building science and to bring those designs to life with the expertise and integrity that we have built over years of experience.

Joe Carry

Owner, Sales, Project Manager

With the birth of his first child, Joe left the hallowed halls of academia to open a small cabinet shop in the Fort George section of Northern Manhattan so that he could better support his growing family. What started as an economic necessity blossomed into a passion. He is happy now to have the opportunity to use his head, hands and heart to construct houses and do renovations that are smartly designed, finely crafted and soulfully aligned with the fundamental principles of sustainability.

When not knee-deep in work, Joe loves spending time cross country skiing with his family, running, and zipping about Berkshire County in his restored Miata.
