PCW Design/Build

From rough sketches to reality - when you work with us, we're with you each step of the way.

Every element of this fireplace wall started as a spark of inspiration from the homeowners. Together we developed those ideas into this design, which was then built and completed by our excellent craftspeople.

And that mantle piece? Custom milled from a tree on the owners' property. It's details like this that mean so much!

1. The homeowners loved the look of random height nickel gap wood running horizontally - except that's not available to buy. So Mark made it on site, to their specifications. Love the way it wraps the fireplace surround and lines the back of the bookcases!

2. Installing the cherished mantle piece.

3. The finished look - ready for the family to gather round.

4. The White Oak mantle piece was custom milled for this purpose. The old tree sat too close to the existing home and needed to come down - we were all pretty sad until it came down and we discovered it was dead inside. Grateful for the shade it gave and for the lumber created from it!

5. A herringbone inlay of varying width hardwood for the hearth? We can do that! (Mark loves a challenge!)

6. Creating the clients' dream ✨

Night or day - this lake home shines!

Designed to take full advantage of the setting and built to take in the views and live beautifully in every light, this modern design balances warmth, simplicity, and function.

We love seeing a project come full circle - from plans on paper to a home that truly lives the way it was imagined.

If you’re thinking about building new, we’d love to help you bring your vision to life!

When designing a home for an older, well established neighborhood, it felt important that the home we place there not feel out of place. Not too big, not too small. We kept the road elevation modest (incorporating the clean lines the homeowners enjoy) and loaded the lake side with glass and porches. The effect when walking in the front door to expansive lake views is just 🤩 Stay tuned for interior photos!

Every day a little more detail is added to this sleek custom home we designed and built - understated elegance at its finest!

When it comes to decks - we like to ensure the framing isn't visible from living areas or anywhere it might distract from the overall beauty of the home.

We treated this challenge in two different ways here: on the balcony, we fully finished the underside of the deck, so the view from the lower level family room wouldn't be marred by raw deck framing. It also creates a nice nook feeling out on the patio.

Under the generous screened porch, the family wanted a place to store all of their fun lake toys during the summer months so they were out of sight but still close at hand. We worked with them to design this slatted privacy screen which allows for ventilation while still obscuring the storage area. The horizontal lines here will be carried through by horizontal cable railing at the balcony.

At PCW design/build we believe form and function go hand and hand. We pay close attention to architectural principles while giving you a custom home that feels just right for you and your family.
