The tastes and expectations of international clients can sometimes produce challenges for American carpenters. As we can see from local architecture, every region produces its own style. Over time, we at S + H have discovered that national styles also produce their own building methods. An example of this occurred with some clients from Iceland, who wanted to create a clean, modern, “Icelandic” look for their Cambridge home.
Prior to this interior renovation, we traveled to Rekjavik to see an apartment that they had renovated in order to get a sense of Icelandic (and European) construction methods and aesthetics. For the design, they hired Bjorn Skaptason of Atelier Architecture in Rekjavik. Bjorn had also designed their home in Iceland.
Testing to see if this works.
