Awards

2011 Masonry TEAM Award

Oaks Residence

There are not too many single family homes that necessitate more than 2,000 stone fabrication tickets. But then, there are not too many single family homes that can match up to the Oaks residence: 29,000 square feet of Classic Italian Palladian Architecture on a six and one half acre site. And the design and use of masonry continues out to the lot lines. There were a number of excellent single family homes in this category, all with distinctive design and use of masonry. But the Oaks residence is VERY special and in a class by itself.
