Architectural design, building materials and interior finishes for custom lake homes in Hayward and Northwest Wisconsin. Since 1981.
We start with the site orientation and context.
Designed around your land, not a catalog.
Sample it here, pull it 400 feet away.
Lakefront Simplicity, from the air. One of eighteen recent projects.
Drawings, lumber, finishes. One team, 400 feet apart.
The studio draws the house. The yard stocks what it is built from. The showroom finishes the inside. They sit on the same seven acres and answer to the same people.
The design team includes an Architect, residential planners, CAD designers, construction managers, and interior designers. Every design starts with the site orientation and context, then matches your needs and ideas with the landscape.
The Floor To Ceiling Store holds the finishes: hardwood flooring, blinds, countertop materials, cabinets and vanities, window treatments. It sits 400 feet from the lumber yard.
Floor To Ceiling HaywardSPF and Douglas fir, treated lumber, cedar boards and siding, pine, log siding, Trex and TimberTech decking. Marvin, Therma-Tru, Waudena and Rogue Valley doors and windows. Benjamin Moore, Valspar and Cabot stain. I-joists, LVL and trusses for the frame.
Five steps, and the same team on all five. You can start with a lot, a stack of ideas, or nothing but a rough picture of how you want to spend a Sunday.
Meet with our team to talk about your lifestyle, site, architectural style, priorities, and material needs.
