The residential practice

Homes built shell-first, by the same hands from foundation to final trim.

The shell is built by the people you hired

Foundations, block, columns, slabs and roof structure are all poured and set by our own crews. Nothing about the structure gets handed to a stranger and priced back to you.

That is how a build stays on schedule. There is no waiting on a subcontractor's calendar, and no gap between what was promised in the office and what happens on the site.

Floor to ceiling glazing opens the living spaces onto terraces on both floors, an outdoor kitchen and a 12′ × 34′ private infinity pool, with a designer Italian kitchen by Florense inside.
