Architectural Millwork – Details Make the Difference

Details do count; they define a home and speak a subtle language that everyone understands as quality.  The most significant addition is often in the form of millwork.  Molding, casing, beams and wood paneling all play an influential role in the feel of a room.  These are the details that Lowell takes the time to craft specifically for the character and integrity of every home built.

Ceilings are an often missed opportunity to bring warmth and style to a room.  Attention to the space above will bring a room into livable proportions.  The addition of beams can be modern, rustic or refined.  This room uses natural timbers to contrast with the elegant furnishings, increasing the comfort level and working to balance the rooms spacious proportions.

Hallways and stairwells are transitional spaces neglected in too many homes.  Ultimately these spaces are seen more often than any one room.  We like to detail these areas with well crafted wood panels and substantial moldings.  Not only will this attention add to the beauty, it will reduce wear and tear on high traffic areas.
We firmly believe that when planning  construction or remodeling, attention to the architectural details will enhance the value.
