Bucktide GC

Always water weather when living on a houseboat. In partnership with Dyna, we built the high-performance envelope of this floating structure, creating an energy-efficient home, no matter the weather. See you out on the lake!

Swipe for the big reveal. ZIP sheathing, followed by exterior insulation, and then ta-da: metal siding. High performance and good design done right.

OBSESSED with the new site-cast concrete countertop: A solid surface for mixing glaze or displaying finished work. Lots of progress on our Seward Park Ceramics Studio, designed by SHED. Window frames—custom-built in our woodshop—are in, with field-glazed fixed insulated glass units and Stile operable units. And the rounded nook—both a functional element and a feature of the room—is tiled ready for the kiln. With finishes coming together, this studio is beginning to sparkle.

Transforming a former office into a home comes with its own set of challenges, but one solution is bespoke. To bring lived-in warmth to our Business to Abode project, we custom-made the cabinetry. Fabricated in the Bucktide woodshop, it's stained white oak, built to feel residential and informal.

Up next: New project. Framing up a fancy gear shed, with SHED. There's room for gear, guests, and of course, outdoor BBQing and alfresco dining. Stay tuned as this heavyweight detached accessory structure comes to life.

Sun-filled cozy corners in our Poet's Cottage, which just wrapped. Wouldn't be complete without books on the shelves. Only a few more boxes to unpack, and it already feels like the perfect spot to write more prose.

Creative interior designers make our job more fun. The carefully selected fixtures in our Capitol Hill loft, interior design by Modernous, were the cherry on top of this elevated project.

Southern and western exposure at our Larch House. Triple-glazed windows, tight envelope, and passive building tech quietly doing the job. High-performance now looks good.

Ciao bella! Pizza party at our Ceramic Studio with SHED, celebrating that we're finished with insulation and moving on to interiors. The custom-built windows are in (builders love to talk about windows), and we're in a festive mood. The Bucktide cabinet shop fired up the ovens and cranked out custom pizzas: chefs kiss!
