Custom Curved Dormer Inspired by Gingerbread Turrets

Inspiration for this Vancouver infill arrived in gingerbread form

We fell in love with the idea of a turret .... and not just because it was covered in icing! Throughout our Design Build process, the turret has changed in location and size. The final design is a charming, custom curved dormer.

Framing this roof has been so rewarding and we wanted to share the process so far. We can't wait to see this spectacular space completed.

This Vancouver infill is a laneway home that benefits from an additional boost in square footage. We've framed the custom roof to include varying slopes, custom curves, and vaulted height above the entrance and main staircase. Stay tuned for updates as our team moves into the next phases of this construction!
