Realizing Your Vision
“To see far is one thing,” said Constantin Brancusi. “But getting there is another.” The great modernist sculptor understood that the idea is sometimes the easy part.
When we talk about fine craft at Stephens, we’re referring to a certain quality that is revealed in the execution of an idea. It’s something achieved over time, through devotion, and by constant refinement.
The only way into a truly quality home is by fine craft. For the builder, it begins by sharing a vision—with the homeowner, the architect, the designer. It advances by putting the best hands on the best methods.
You Know It When You See It
It’s in the close-grained corbel on a bar top, or the relief work on a fireplace frieze.
Or when you don’t see it, but feel it. The quiet close on a cabinet door. The solid step underfoot.
A quality home relies on close attention to the finest details. It’s a foundational principle at Stephens, where for twenty years we’ve been serving Nantucket’s most discerning property owners.
Keeping Ahead Of The Curve
Building a high-performance, state-of-the-art home begins with a clear vision, and takes shape by assembling the team of players best qualified to realize that vision. It requires a close knowledge of the industry’s most innovative technologies.
Stephens has remained at the vanguard of applied homebuilding science for more than twenty years. From passive house technology to information modeling, we’ve kept that leading edge because we believe in building Nantucket for the 21st century–and beyond.
Leave A Legacy
We believe that building on Nantucket comes with a great responsibility: maintaining a centuries-old standard that honors—and preserves—its rare natural beauty.
That duty aligns neatly with our commitment to fine craft. Because in the 21st century, luxury means more than a state-of-the-art home. It also means the comfort of living in accord with our surroundings. In a changing climate, it's a comfort that comes with the knowledge that your home is part of the solution.
Our project here at Stephens is crafting the enduring, state-of-the-art home that is truly worthy of this island we love. Let us tell you more about how we do it.
