Photo Journal of Home Construction

only search this website

Welcome to my online library of construction details. These images have been assembled over several years for the purpose of documenting architectural detailing, construction methods, and structural connections from custom residential projects in Vancouver.
A while back I decided I needed a quick, online reference library of construction photos to better inform my design decisions, and to help convey design intent to the builders.  
(It should go without saying that these are just unique solutions to unique situations that may or may not apply to your projects.)

The projects here presented have been designed by a number of leading design offices in Vancouver.  Thanks for visiting.
