S-A-B-L-E

I am an architect and builder in my Studio of an Artisan Builder and Lucid Explorer at Greenwood Mill.

From preservation of 19th-century farmhouses and timber-frame barns, to experimental form-making of urban artist studios and public art installations, I help clients steward old structures and develop new ones—with the same care you’d give a field to keep bearing fruit.

My work is grounded in:

  • Historic preservation and adaptive reuse of farmhouses, mills, barns, and main-street buildings

  • Timber-framed pavilions, porches, and outbuildings designed and detailed for longevity

  • Artist studios, galleries, and cultural spaces that support creative work

  • Custom residential additions that extend modest houses into their gardens and landscapes

Each project begins with the existing fabric and site—the weathered brick, the hewn timber, the land already telling its story. From there, I introduce appropriate contemporary structure and technology to create repairs, additions, and new work that feel inevitable rather than imposed.

I serve clients primarily in Maryland and the surrounding Mid-Atlantic regions, and I collaborate with fabricators, artists, and craftsmen wherever the work leads.

If you’re exploring a barn or farmhouse rehabilitation, a timber-frame project, a studio or gallery, or a thoughtful addition to a modest house, I’d be glad to talk with you about what’s possible.
