Architectural Elements

Much of modern construction relies on superficial facades—concrete, veneers, and applied textures that aim to imitate tradition but fall short of true craftsmanship. Take stone veneer, for instance: it often misses the mark because it mimics only the surface, ignoring the logic and integrity of how real stone is stacked and supported.

​

Proportions and ornamentation are too often treated as afterthoughts—applied inconsistently or without understanding. The result? Structures that feel off, even if you can’t immediately say why.

​

My approach is different. I begin with intention and respect for the craft, considering each detail from the start—how elements relate, how they’re built, and why they belong. The result is work that feels grounded, cohesive, and genuinely well made.
