Team Engineering has recently stumbled across an amazing app called Magic Plan that can scan a building’s existing conditions in a super-efficient timeframe. It works on our phones and tablets by scanning the room with the device’s camera. By pinpointing the corners of the room, the app automatically generates… Read More »
Our friends at Northcape Design asked us to provide structural plans for this terrific new home on the shore of Little Lake Sunapee. We prepared our design over the summer and construction is well underway. We visited the build to check out the progress and talk with the crew about what they liked on our… Read More »
When architecturally designing a residential building, the New Hampshire Energy Code is a factor that must be considered throughout the design process. New Hampshire has the adopted the IRC 2015 Energy Code and these, as well as locally amended, requirements must be met in all new construction projects. Often these include prescriptive R-values. An R-value… Read More »
Allow me to first offer my confession – I’m a Yankee, and compared to many, a relatively slow adopter of technology. The transition to digital photography, GPS in our cars, and the fast evolution from cellular phones to smartphones is simply incredible. Sometimes necessity pushes me to try technology. Google Earth has demonstrated to all… Read More »
Of all our 2021 projects, one of our favorites was the waterfront cottage where, when the rest of the world was panicking about skyrocketing lumber prices and “supply chain trouble”, we pivoted with our client to harvest timber off the land for use in the construction of the porch. Roof posts cantilevered through the deck… Read More »

They specialize in custom residential, commercial and landscape architecture and very often design lakeside homes. Last year, Bonin asked us to produce structural plans for a unique home in New Hampshire. What is distinctive about this home is… Read More »

When roofs are pitched (i.e. angled), the snow collects differently than it does on flat roofs. Unbalanced snow loads occur on pitched (most commonly gable) roofs, and the building code tells us to consider these loads up to 7V:12H roof pitches. Here, some of our engineers are at Loon, mid-mountain, and this building has quite… Read More »
