At Uncarved Block we have knowledge of both historic and current building techniques, and we blend the two to what is most appropriate to your project. This applies not only to materials, but also to historic building styles, and the most up to date building science and green building techniques (Passive House, zero net energy homes), energy efficiency (superinsulation), and alternative energy systems (PV, wind, solar hot water). We have a thorough mastery of the basics of building, as well as specializing in very advanced methods in timber framing (scribing and compound joinery), complex roof framing (curved roofs, eyebrow dormers), historic trim styles (Federal to Craftsman to contemporary), and more.
We offer custom design services, inspired by many building traditions from around the world. All of our buildings are designed to be green, energy-efficient, and use as many locally-sourced materials as possible. Each building that Uncarved Block designs is unique to suit both you the client and the site. In past projects we have designed houses, barns, garden structures, and shops-from initial napkin sketches to the final intricate details. We can offer minimal design services for a simple structure, or everything from structural design to lighting design for a more refined structure.

A pool house remodel & addition that we’ve been working on. The original structure was an 80’s timber frame barn with a dirt floor. We added on a small sitting room with multislide and bi-fold doors to the pool, poured polished concrete floors, a new sauna, a small kitchen & laundry, and a nice...
Here’s a new home that we finished up a bit ago. All of the interior wood was logged, milled, and dried locally. The exterior framing and decking are in white oak. Interior trusses are cherry, with white oak flooring and stairs. Design by @mikebeganyi. #uncarvedblockin c #customhomes #...
