A collective of craftspeople blending timeless techniques and innovative ideas
Founded in 1984 as a building company dedicated to high-quality craft, Birdseye has evolved into an award-winning, employee-owned architecture and building company. What began as a team of skilled builders has grown into a collective of architects, carpenters, woodworkers, metalworkers, and artisans—each dedicated to refining their craft and expanding the possibilities of design and construction.
Our process is rooted in materials, precision, and place. We balance time-honored techniques with new ideas, ensuring every home we create is both timeless and forward-thinking. Whether shaping raw materials by hand or exploring innovative methods, we believe great architecture and building is born from the seamless connection between vision and craft.

Community Engagement
Architecture and building does not exist in isolation. It is shaped by place, people, and the connections between them. At Birdseye, our work is deeply tied to the landscapes and communities we build within.
We believe in craftsmanship that endures and relationships that last. Our team is proud to support local makers, tradespeople, and artisans, fostering a culture of collaboration that strengthens our region. Whether through thoughtful design, sustainable building practices, or giving back to the places we call home, we are committed to creating meaningful spaces that serve not just our clients, but the broader community.
Great design has the power to enrich lives—not only for those who live within our homes, but for those who help build them and the communities they stand in. With every project, we strive to leave a lasting, positive imprint.
