Typography
Architectural, calm, and high-value.
Timber homes of lasting distinction.
Use an elegant serif for large headlines and a quiet modern sans-serif for body, navigation, and forms. Keep contrast strong; do not use fragile fashion-luxury type.
Logo Refinement
Estate-worthy but still familiar
Clean the existing mark for premium reproduction, with gold foil, reverse navy, and restrained one-color versions. The logo should look credible on proposal covers, site signage, and waterfront project presentations.
Website Direction
Portfolio-led, immersive, and built for high-value inquiries.

Recommendation: Use this as an upmarket layer, not the whole brand. It is excellent for premium sales materials, but needs family-owned warmth to avoid feeling too distant.
