Introducing Precedent Designworks

2009-06-19T04:59:00.000-07:00

Design and construction of a house is one of life's greatest endeavors. It is emotional, personal,technical and exact all at one time. To be successful the process requires creativity, practical know-how and building expertise.

precedent designworks is a small, creative and highly motivated design firm committed to providing custom residential design services to the Coast of Maine. With 20 years of experience in residential design we recognize that successful projects are realized through participation and collaboration. Unwavering enthusiasm and focus are dedicated to each and every project.

Offering five phases of design precedent designworks provides personal attention and hands-on oversight to clients throughout the design and building process.

Unlike other residential design firms, we excel in seeing a project through from initial sketches to move-in day. Our goal is integrating our services with those of the general contractor and the various trades. Once the set of construction documents are issued to the builder, we oversee construction every step of the way. Our attention to detail makes sure that the builder receives the support needed to carry the project through to completion. Our response to job-site generated questions is fast and decisive and, given the cost of building today, it's important to keep construction moving forward and on schedule.

Plateless Receptacles

2009-06-16T10:16:00.000-07:00

Designer Omer Arbel, well known for his chandeliers with glass globes, revealed his latest projects at ICFF in New York this year, including a series of wall receptacles that require no plates. The U.L. and C.S.A. listed plugs use a special key to insert or remove the receptacle. The model shown uses a double mounting plate with the receptacles placed off the vertical axis and a single mounting plate; the receptacle is covered over with plaster or set into millwork. Options include power outlets, ethernet and phone plugs, and switches and dimmers. See Bocci's page at http://bocci.ca/?#/22-standard/ for more information.

Of my many interests and hobbies photography is something I can do anywhere. When Im not photographing my kids or taking photos of my built projects I enjoy capturing life around me. The Unknown Fishermen reminds me of my own father and grandfather and it now hangs on the wall of one of my recent projects. Its a great finishing touch and a great way to say thanks to clients.

Pedal Valve: A closer snapshot

2009-06-15T11:07:00.001-07:00

I’m finally getting back to sharing the pedal valve install. This little piece of hardware allows hands free operation of the faucet. If you’re like me you getting tired of having to turn on and off and adjust temperature of the faucet. Pedal Valve lets you set the temperature at your faucet and use your foot when water flow is needed. I’ve had two separate installations and I now know why my clients love them so much. Simply convenient!

Check back with this post again. Ill update the where you can locate on the web and roughly the cost of the unit installed by a plumbing professional.

The precedent for this new home was the Georgian Style Wentworth-Gardiner House in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. While the exterior is nearly an exact duplicate the interior is modified to accomodate modern day living. The details are well done and craftsmanship is impeccable. Ill post more photos of the interior soon.
