March 2026
Happy cheerful March from Graphite!
At Graphite we are on the production train chugging into April!
We have been knee deep in a few exciting projects and are thrilled to see progress happening! It’s only month #3 of the year and we are on for a roller coaster ride of freeze and thaw cycles! We are very grateful for the relationships we forged throughout this past year and we can’t wait for the projects to work on this year.
Last week we went to Stratton Mountain to participate in Ski Day sponsored by WW Building Supply and Marvin Windows. AND At the start of the new year, we went to Mathes Hulme Builders for a fun-filled holiday party involving a few rounds of intense chess play-offs and delicious dumplings!
Warmly,
Andrew and the Graphite Team!
Graphite Wisdom: Windows!
We’re currently working on a barn rehab project in Vermont that has a vision of an expansive curtainwall system with views overlooking the mountains. We are engaging Loewen windows to learn more about their systems, and love the look and feel of their Timber Curtain Wall. It seems a great time to re-engage with our Canadian window friends. While they don’t start at the top of the pile for performance, the quality and materials of the Loewen are hard to beat. Now we’re just holding our breath on pricing.
MHB HOLIDAY: Winter Celebration with our Friends
Mathes Hulme Builders hosted their all-hands winter party and kindly invited us along for the ride. It was great to see all the faces and some of their significant others and kids as well! It’s always a delight to get to PLAY with the people we so often see in work-only mode!
Check-in with Phoenix Nest
We love the work that we do, and take pride in it. We are our clients’ companions, throughout the whole process, from conceptual design to check-ins after completion.
We stopped by the lovely Phoenix Nest to hand deliver a house-warming gift that connects Dragon Den with Phoenix Nest — a mailbox key set! Through the forest is a worn path that connects the two homes, where a granddaughter and her nonna can exchange secret messages. Isn’t that so sweet? (Thanks to Lina - now back on the West Coast) for this inspired purchase more than 18 months ago!) We hope that many dear messages pass back and forth in the coming years!
