13. THE BLACK DOG
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
We believe that a healthy design process is one that involves
collaboration between owner and the design/builder.
Our goal is to create high quality homes that are comfortable to live
in. Too often the focus is on square footage, rather than the finer
details that give a home character.
We believe that good buildings are those that are appropriate for the
site and that respond to the character of the neighborhood.
We believe in a sustainable approach to design and building, including
the specification of environmentally friendly building materials.

14. THE BLACK DOG
ADVANTAGE
The homeowner is assured that the project is
being constructed as it was designed.
Working with one company means that there is a
higher level of responsibility and accountability.
We are able to extend decision making into the
construction process, allowing the homeowner
the opportunity to better understand the
spaces before making final decisions on
finishes and finer details.
