Concept art

I'm working on some conceptual plans for a client.  They want a medium sized mountain style house with an arts + crafts vibe and large overhanging roofs to shelter the walkways from snow.  These are early days yet, but I thought I'd post my initial render for them.  It's a mixture of hand and digital techniques.

Doors

Welcome to the world of Carpitecture!  I do enough projects that I thought it might be rather fun to share some of them online.  I'm in the midst of trying to get my M.Arch degree and I also run (when I have time) a small carpentry shop specializing in high end millwork and furniture.

As a starter for my new blog, I'll kick it off with some images of some doors I'm building.  They are out of quarter sawn Western Red Cedar.  The client owns a fairly remote log house that sees some harsher winter weather than typical, so the stability that comes with QS Cedar will be a boon.  These doors were a pleasure to build not only because they were all new designs\layouts to me, but because the house they were installed in is particularly nice.
