Where I build

Where I build

Our studio is small, in the Hudson Valley wood basket. The practice grew out of working in tight spaces, where pieces had to come apart and back together to fit through a door. Hence the name.​

How I Source Materials

How you build it is as important as what you build

Materials Matter​

By choosing single origin materials, our system supports environmental and human health while also having intrinsic beauty that will patina over time. 

CHEMICAL FREE

Solid wood throughout, no composites. Plant-based finishes, VOC-free. Powder-coated hardware, durable and applied without resin, epoxy, or lacquer.

MINDFUL MILLING

We work with a family owned mill that's been in operation for four generations and source our hardwoods from responsibly managed American forests.

HERITAGE TIMBER

We source wood from decommissioned barns and water towers, using timber from trees planted over a century ago, connecting you to landscapes of the past.

What is Circular Design?

To understand circular design, it helps to start with three ideas.


01

The materials that make up our interiors come from somewhere, serve a purpose, and move on again. They are always part of a larger cycle.


Everything is in motion

02

When something is discarded, it doesn’t disappear. It shifts location, to landfills, into waterways, or into the air.

There is no “away”

There is no “away”

There is no “away”

03

With that in mind, the goal is to keep materials at their highest and most useful value for as long as possible, through thoughtful design, reuse, and adaptation.
