Owner: Confidential
Architect: Res Loci
Completion: May 2001
Charter Construction was hired
to build this custom architectural home to the highest possible
standards using materials native to the Pacific Northwest and
traditional, old world craftsmanship. The home was designed with
a post-and-beam timber frame and cast in place concrete veneer walls.
The owner and the architect worked with Charter to set the highest
standards for work on this home. Charter in turn asked for the same
commitment from all the subcontractors, eliciting work from everyone
of a higher caliber than they had ever performed before. The timber
framing for the home was all hand-worked and hand-joined using traditional
carpentry methods and Charter’s finest craftsmen.
Charter overcame a challenge that included integrating the landscaping
design into the project late in the construction schedule. Crews
used a crane to “fly” mature trees over the top of the
home and set the stonework and other landscaping materials in the
correct places.
