Snowman Lost Its Head | @45whiteoak

The Petersen Tegl Cover Brick is built to last generations. A masonry shingle on a fully ventilated rain screen, designed to endure.

The hard part wasn’t installing brick. It was honoring the detail. Instead of running a straight trim from the window to catch the butt end, we mitered every return. That meant slowing down and compound-mitering every single shingle.

Up top, buried in the snow, the hip roof carries the same logic. Every corner has a different pitch. Every hip needed its own angle.

Medium gray to settle into the neighborhood. Handmade texture paired with machine-bent stainless.

Nickelback Tudor | A Different Kind of Tudor

Our Nickelback Tudor project set out to challenge what’s been built over and over again in this neighborhood. An experiment in materials and proportion, drawing from European Tudor precedents and the early American detailing that @stevetiek is known for.

A legacy home isn’t built to fit the mold. It’s built for the family who plans to live in it, grow in it, and pass it on.

“The house-shaped house is starting to feel like home.”

Tucked away on a private lot, this Scandinavian-inspired home keeps things simple where it matters most. A black mega-shingle exterior on the outside. Clean lines and warm, livable spaces on the inside—designed for a family to actually live here, not just look at it.

The homeowner came to us with a goal to build something truly unique and started with process first. From there, we assembled the right team and executed the work with intention, step by step.

12 feet of uninterrupted glass.
.
When @nsbuilders came to us with the vision for the primary shower at @45whiteoak , we knew a floor to ceiling glass panel would amplify the scale of the space while supporting the minimal aesthetic throughout the home.
.
No breaks, no visual interruptions, just glass integrated directly into the architecture.

Weather is perfect for all of the doors to be open and for you to touch grass.

@of_possible designed the home to be just 1 step from the ground, never more than that. Understanding the detailing of how the foundation, framing and the floor to ceiling lift slides were installed was critical to get this detail right.

This dining room–kitchen pairing embodies the balance between classic craftsmanship and modern comfort. Rich walnut cabinetry anchors the space with warmth and texture, while the perforated door fronts add a refined, tailored detail that elevates everyday storage into furniture-grade millwork.

The open connection to the kitchen keeps the flow effortless and inviting. The kitchen’s creamy cabinetry and natural stone backsplash complements—rather than competes with—the dining room’s depth and character.

Swipe back to see where we began — by reworking the layout, we created a living space that enhances flow and fosters connection.

Homeowners and Architects
Considering Building?

We focus on Architect-led projects. We lead with preconstruction so we can derisk the construction.

Considering a project in 2026-27

DM “BUILD”

I’ll walk you through our process.

Mansard | what does it mean to craft with intention?

It’s the collective effort to do the work to the best of everyone’s ability. It’s handling the small details now because they’re the ones that matter later. It’s the discipline to step back and be proud of every step, not just the final photo.

In this kitchen with @sottileandcompany, the plaster hood is the moment. @trowelincplastering is onsite soldering the corner beads and dialing in the base coat so the finish reads exactly as the architect drew it — crisp lines, true corners, no compromise where the eye lands.

Protecting the vision, in practice.

DM us if you’re considering building or renovating in 2026 we have one slot open in our schedule for an additional project this year.

45 White Oak. 🌿✨

Some homes demand a higher level the second you step onto the property. This was one of them.

NS Builders built this home with an uncompromising standard from start to finish, and when we were brought in to handle the landscape lighting, the goal was simple — make sure the exterior matched the level the home was built at.

Every detail mattered. Every fixture placement mattered. Every nighttime angle mattered.

Grateful for the trust on a project like this

Just before dusk the home begins to transform

During the day, you live with the lights off, floor to ceiling glass lights up the home and you’re connected to the landscape. Changing through the seasons, the weather and the time of day.

At night the landscape disappears till dawn… lame. We changed that, @nite_lite_boston brought light to the landscape so when day shifts to night you are still connected. Both as the occupant and the passerbyer.

Will share more later.

45 White Oak | the mechanical room, because the details that disappear behind the walls deserve the same rigor.

Space planning this room started long before the first conduit ran. Coordinating mechanical, electrical, and plumbing layouts up front means each trade gets the room they need to install cleanly, service easily, and hold the line on the standard we set. When the equipment is laid out with intent, the rest of the house benefits quieter chases, tighter ceilings, and the design above stays exactly as the architect drew it.

Clean work by our trade partners.
