The Foundation — Framing Structure & Interior Flow with Jay Harper & Marie-Joe Bouffard
Welcome back to Season 10 of Couture & Construction! On today’s episode, host Andrew Denny takes us through the dynamic process of framing in home building, emphasizing the vital partnership between builders and designers.
Joining Andrew are two exceptional guests: Jay Harper, a Charleston-based builder celebrated for his meticulous craftsmanship, and Marie-Joe Bouffard, a designer known for her ability to blend beauty and functionality in every project. Together, they discuss the transformative moment when a house begins to take shape, the emotional journey of clients as they see their dreams materialize, and the importance of flexibility and communication during the framing phase.
This episode is packed with valuable lessons on how to navigate the critical framing walk, the significance of making timely adjustments, and the collaborative spirit that turns architectural plans into tangible, livable spaces.
Let's Sum It Up:
The framing stage is a pivotal moment where design concepts become reality, allowing clients to visualize their future home. Open communication and trust between builders and designers are essential for addressing changes and ensuring a successful build. Flexibility in the design process can lead to unexpected enhancements, making the home more functional and aligned with the homeowner's vision.
Until next time - keep cultivating creativity.
