ROOTS + BRANCHES
Tree Nail is rooted in a motivation to build with a high level of craft and environmental consciousness.
An offshoot of a long partnership between Jon Brown and Erik Jacobson, we have branched out to form a hardworking team of creative and conscientious problem solvers.
The culture that sustains Tree Nail is a fertile cycle of collaboration among great people committed to great results.
CONNECTIONS
Mating joints cut into timbers create the connections in a timber frame. The result is a combination of strength and beauty which requires crafty skill, coordination of details, and solid relationships between the people involved. This is a good metaphor for our approach.
We are grateful to work with great clients, and bring passion and energy to the projects entrusted to us. We look forward to meeting you.
