Mom's Design Build
Shakopee, Minnesota
The clients replaced their building with a much larger
conference facility. To tame the steep lakeshore terrain around
the facility, they desired artistic beauty and an intuitive organic
flow so visitors could engage with nature while outside and find
their way around without obtrusive signage or steep stairs. To
meet the deadline, much of the hardscaping took place while the
building construction was underway. The challenge was working
around the other contractors, equipment and supplies to create
new pathways, stairs, retaining walls, gardens, a large lower-level
patio, and an inviting terraced stair walkout to the lake.

Greater Dayton Building & Remodeling
Beavercreek, Ohio
The "Yankee Station" project was an exterior renovation of a +/- 33,000-square-
foot retail center. At the time of construction, the building housed three tenants,
and had a storefront comprised of a variety of materials, creating multiple, dissimilar
architectural aesthetics. The curb appeal was enhanced to create a consistent
and updated appearance, and generate stronger interest from potential tenants.
The renovation consisted of the demolition of structural walls to create new
openings, and the installation of two blade signs. The existing parapet walls were
also raised. The exterior finishes installed were cement board siding, an exterior
insulation and finishing system, stone, brick, and LED wall sconces.

The Cleary Company
Columbus, Ohio
Built in 1957, this building originally housed Ohio Bell's service trucks.
The previous owner, an HVAC contractor, was downsizing and is now a
tenant. The offices were old and drab, and built of concrete block walls and
ceilings. Lighting and electric receptacles were basic and dated. The space
had little to no natural light and a very dated infrastructure. This major
renovation completely overhauled the building's entire electrical, HVAC and
plumbing systems to bring efficiency, comfort and safety. Features include
a gourmet catering kitchen, an event space, a design studio, natural light,
spacious workspaces, and a warehouse and woodshop.
