A-001General notesRev.04
The architects who draw your stair detail share a workshop wall with the carpenters who will cut it.
General note 01: no material gets specified here that hasn't already been cut, laid or hung in this shop.
Corven & Field is a design-build studio for custom homes and luxury remodels. One team keeps the contract and the drawing set from predesign to handover, and draws and builds each project in house. We take six to eight commissions a year and give each one a named principal and the run of the bench.

S-204Week 31, morning light crosses the rafters exactly where the section drawing said it would.
S-207Sheathing next. What you are looking at is the drawing, stood upright.
A-501 · Craft — homeowner's note“They treated a pantry hinge with the same seriousness as the roofline. Nineteen months on site, and the number we signed in predesign never moved.”
