Chapter One · Custom Residences

Where the studio's hand is most visible.

Each residence is led by a single project captain — the architect who drew the first sketch is the project lead on site — and finished in our twelve-thousand-square-foot joinery and stone shop on the Cold Spring foundry lane. The four projects below are drawn from the last six years of practice.

Chapter Two · Renovations & Estate Stewardship

Sympathetic hands on buildings that came before us.

Half the studio's calendar is spent walking existing fabric — re-stitching a wing, lifting a roof line, replacing what decades of deferred maintenance have taken. From a Dutch colonial in Litchfield to a thirty-eight-acre river estate in Columbia County, the work is careful, quiet, and signed by the joinery shop.

Chapter Three · Boutique Commercial Commissions

Eighteen private rooms for collectors and institutions.

The commercial portfolio is small by design. Tasting pavilions for a Finger Lakes winery, a private library for a Columbia University alumnus, and the Cold Spring flagship for our own millwork studio — each one pushed the joinery and metal shops in directions a residence alone rarely asks for.

Finger Lakes winery tasting pavilion
No. 09 · Hector, NY

A Tasting Pavilion on Seneca Lake

Board-formed concrete · rift-sawn white oak bar · blackened steel · terracotta tile

A 2,400-square-foot pavilion cantilevered over a vineyard edge, with the millwork bar fabricated entirely in-house from a single 38-foot white oak tree selected by the principal and the shop foreman.

No. 10 · Manhattan, NY

A Private Library, Upper East Side

English brown oak millwork · hand-bound leather · cast-bronze hardware · Calacatta Viola hearth

A 1,600-square-foot private library commissioned by a Columbia alumnus and collector of twentieth-century first editions. Each shelf depth, ladder rail, and reading-table joint was drawn and built on Foundry Lane.

No. 11 · Cold Spring, NY

The Jamison House Millwork Showroom

Salvaged heart pine · hot-rolled steel · patinated bronze · soapstone work surfaces

The studio's own 3,200-square-foot flagship on Foundry Lane — a working showroom where clients can walk through full-scale stair, door, and mantel mock-ups fabricated in the adjoining shop.

Begin the conversation

If any of these projects read like the home you have in mind, the next step is a private consultation.

Forty-five minutes with a Jamison House principal — by phone, by video, or in the Cold Spring studio. No proposal, no commitment, no fee. The studio takes on a small number of new commissions each year and prefers to begin them in conversation.
