Warren Davies- Masonry Expert and Historic Masonry Consultant
Warren Davies Photo.JPG

Our work depends on the ability to read the history of the structure and the methods that were used to build it.  It's hard to heal the scars that were created by change over the years and not wonder about the people that made them.  Every building tells a story but I hope that future custodians of the projects we have been part of have a hard time finding evidence that we were there at all.

Architectural Drawings and Design

Many of the projects shown on this website were designed by Warren Davies.  Most were born as visions of homeowners who knew they wanted something but they weren't sure how to bring it to life.  His style of design is fairly evident in the pictures but his designs also include a strong understanding of building codes and structural engineering.
