One of the hallmarks of a successful creative process is paying attention to the details. In architecture and construction this means designing and detailing numerous connections between different materials and giving a lot of thought to the scale and proportion on different architectural elements. Nothing is left to chance, not the size of a window or the pattern of its grille, nor the trim on a porch or the way the beam meets a wall. A finely designed and constructed house will be as interesting and exciting up close and from all sides as it is from the street.
