Here’s a look at how David Sutphen approaches his craft:
Architectural Design
"Those who built these old buildings, whether of stone, brick, logs or frame, had certainly a keen sense of proportion. Often the simpler the house the more interesting the arrangement of small wall cupboards, boxed in stairs and the ingenious use made of space that in the larger houses would be wasted.”
Historic Restoration
"I think older homes represent a simpler life style that is slowly disappearing. As a young apprentice deconstructing old houses I was able to see first hand how they were assembled and determine why those builders chose the materials they used.”
Home Construction
“Our expertise in restoration has led to us being asked, ‘do you build new homes, I thought you only restored homes”. "Yes, in fact new construction is much easier. You can start square, level and plumb which isn't always the case when working on older homes."
Unique Spaces
"We are blessed with the most experienced and meticulous group of craftsmen in the business. Often, our clients ask us to custom design a unique space: wine cellar, tea house, exercise spa, built-ins or historical treatments. We enjoy these opportunities as these spaces become as individual as our clients."
