On the Patience of Limestone
A small consideration of why we have, for fifteen years, returned to a single quarry outside Bardstown, Kentucky.
A studio of fourteen, working from Charleston and Aspen on residential estates, boutique hospitality, and a small number of public commissions each year.
We take on what we can attend to, and we attend to everything.
We design houses, hotels, and rooms that we intend to last several human lifetimes. We work in stone, timber, plaster, brass — materials that age with grace, that gather meaning rather than shed it.
We do not chase the seasonal. We are uninterested in the trend, the photograph that flatters at the expense of the room, the gesture made to be seen rather than lived in.
What we make should feel inevitable. Like the house was always there, and we simply uncovered it.
If you have a place — or the suggestion of one — we would be glad to hear about it.
