Keeping Ahead of The Curve

"Excellence isn’t an act,” said Quincy Jones. “It’s a habit.” The legendary record producer, who knew a thing or two about acts, understood that quality results from hard work, innovation, and technical savvy.

Building a high-performance home, too, requires a close working knowledge of the most current, cutting-edge technologies.

From solar design and passive house expertise to smart materials and information modeling, Stephens has stayed at the vanguard of applied homebuilding science for more than twenty years. We make sure we do because we believe in building a Nantucket for the21st century—and beyond. 

Realizing Your Vision

One way to think about craft is the process of manifesting the imagination.

But fine craft is something more: it’s the elevation, over decades, of a singular pursuit. It’s attained when deep devotion dovetails with 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’s All in The Details

You know it when you see it.It’s in the close-grained corbel on a bar top, or the relief work on a fire place 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 over twenty years we’ve been serving Nantucket’s most discerning property owners.

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.
