The Turett Collaborative

While the beautiful exterior of this home was definitely turning heads, its outdated layout and less-than-stellar performance required some modernization—a complex puzzle TTC was more than happy to solve.

We’ve made incredible progress on our Shelter Island Project, transforming a quaint cottage into a modern home inspired by Wayne’s own Passive House. Building off the existing structure, we reimagined and modernized the space with thoughtful details like a highly-insulated exterior envelope, efficient mechanical systems, and floor-to-ceiling windows to add light and lock in the coastal views. Swipe to see the transformation in progress.

Designer's Eye | Toronto through Jessica Shaw's lens

Hailing from Canada, our Director of Interior Design Jessica Shaw recently returned home to the 6ix for a little inspo.

From the striking visual language of the Art Gallery of Ontario and the bold, abstract works of Henry Moore, to the iconic floating, table-top facade of the OCAD University, the trip offered Jess plenty of creative inspiration to bring back to upcoming projects.

With a housing crisis looming across the U.S., we turn to design for creative solutions. ADUs––accessory dwelling units––are small, independent homes on the same lot as a primary residence, maximizing space while providing thoughtfully designed housing.

While Mayor Zohran Mamdani is encouraging ADU construction in NYC to help meet demand, smaller communities like Greenport are similarly moving to legalize them to support greater housing density. ADUs to increase local density. Here's a look at a quasi-ADU we designed ourselves—offering a glimpse of what intentional design can achieve within a minimal footprint. We’re excited to see how ADUs continue to evolve as a response to today’s housing needs.
