The Precision Laboratory

Refining Technical Rigor Through Residential Practice.

Residential work is our precision laboratory. A house is the tightest feedback loop in architecture: one client, one envelope, one budget, and nowhere for error to hide. This is where we refine the building science, envelope detailing, and documentation discipline that we apply to large-scale institutional assets. Where most houses are built from six sheets of drawings and a contractor’s guesswork, our last complete residential set exceeded sixty sheets. Every home is a test of performance and durability, and the lessons compound into everything else we build.

Featured Projects

Midcentury Addition & Remodel

A comprehensive remodel and addition to a midcentury residence, anchored by a new curved, steel-glazed porch pavilion with an outdoor fireplace, a library conversion with full-height casework, and an envelope upgrade throughout. Designed and built by our integrated team, the project is the laboratory thesis in practice: modern performance inside a preserved midcentury character.

Industrial Home Design

This new house construction utilizes and exposes elements of industrial design
such as metal, masonry, and wood to create an open concept design reminiscent of warehouses with exposed mechanical elements, pitched roofs,
steel structure, and overhangs. Materials become art, connecting one room to another. The design also includes
clean lines, with lots of natural lighting bridging the interior and exterior.

Contemporary
Kitchen Remodel

This contemporary kitchen remodel with custom cabinetry; and built-in appliances transformed this compartmentalized, view blocking kitchen into a free flowing and open space by increasing functionality and adding more natural light. The kitchen served as both a gathering space for
the family; and as a work area. The
double height island, with a pop of color, serves as both a prep area for cooking;
and as an eating/gathering/working
space for the family. The kitchen’s functionality is further enhanced by cabinet accessories maximizing space.

Contemporary Meets Historic

This extensive renovation transformed the interior of a traditional single family home into a clean, modern living space. Located in the Historic Neighborhood of Belhaven in Jackson, MS, the exterior was left in its existing state with the exception of one window. It was important in this project that we preserve the historic presence of the dwelling while creating a warm and inviting, open floor plan. Warm woods with crisp lines, stone counter tops, and a sculptural stair were designed to merge the clients contemporary tastes with historic preservation.

Midcentury Modern Renovation
“It was important to maintain
the mid-century modern character
of the home, while making it more energy efficient and conducive to our life style” – Jeff Seabold


As the personal residence of
Jeff Seabold, this house is a lab for renovation. The house was almost in its original state when purchased, and while the mid century modern aesthetic is what drew Jeff to purchase the home, it was certainly time for upgrades to the environmental efficiency of the home, as well as general wear and tear that comes with the decades. The carport was enclosed with an attic space addition above, the windows in the back of the house were replaced with insulated glass, the master bath and bedroom underwent substantial renovation, the kitchen was updated with the dining space converted to a “map room”. New triple tone wood cladding was installed on the front of the house, a frosted glass garage door was installed, and a new metal roof was put on. Minimal improvements were made to the exterior in the back of the house and the addition was designed to complement the exiting facade. Jeff and his house were recently featured in Mississippi Magazine in the May|June edition of 2016.
