Behind the Beams at Stillwater Sanctuary
When you begin a project with TreHus, you’re not just hiring a service—you’re gaining an entire team dedicated to bringing your vision to life. Each project pairs you with a project manager and one to two architects or designers who guide you from start to finish. Once the design is finalized, the master carpenter and the carpentry crew join in to turn the ideas into reality.
Beyond the visible team, a network of support staff is working behind the scenes to ensure the project’s success. This includes operations staff who help meticulously plan and coordinate every project, accounting professionals who handle billing, and specialized subcontractors who ensure every detail is executed to the highest standard. This teamwork ensures that every aspect is managed by the right experts.
A prime example of this teamwork is the remodel of the Stillwater Sanctuary. This project was a comprehensive whole-house remodel, with this phase focusing on the main level, including the kitchen, great room, primary suite, mudroom, powder room, and entryway.
Inspired by the European French countryside and Scandinavian influences, the design embraced natural light while creating a seamless connection to the outdoors. The original layout of the home lacked defined spaces and featured outdated finishes. Instead of further opening the space, the team opted to create a cozier, more intimate atmosphere using reclaimed beams from centuries-old structures, adding both character and history to the home.
Here’s a glimpse into just how many people contributed to this transformation:
- TreHus office employees: 10
- TreHus carpenters: 18
- Subcontractors involved: 35
- TreHus carpentry hours: 1,325
- TreHus design hours: 768
- TreHus project management hours: 544
Over 60 skilled professionals contributed to this project. Every individual, from designers and carpenters to support staff and subcontractors, was integral in transforming this vision into reality. The result is a beautifully remodeled space that showcases how the collective skills, creativity, and dedication of the TreHus team bring even the most ambitious projects to life.
