A Design Driven Process
Mayshark is a design firm known for superior construction. Our dedicated design sense permeates every aspect of our process. It starts with architectural design, but this sensitivity influences every choice—materials, colors, textures, and techniques—both interior and exterior.
Every project, large or small, begins with collaborative meetings to understand your goals, vision, and expectations—and, more importantly, to appreciate how your new space will “live.” With our integrated approach, you and your family are key members of the discovery and design team.
Our design-build approach ensures seamless collaboration among architecture, design, and construction, facilitating a more efficient and cohesive process. By integrating these disciplines, we deliver innovative solutions that enhance functionality, aesthetics, and longevity. This holistic approach results in a finished product that genuinely reflects the client’s vision while upholding the highest standards of craftsmanship.
Caring and Committed Craftsmenship
Attention to detail and open communication are hallmarks of Mayshark. Everything must come together in just the right way, at the right time, and at the right cost, resulting in a well-designed space that is a pleasure to live in. To that end, Mayshark brings together the best craftsmen in the region—accomplished, creative, and caring artisans who know and practice state-of-the-art construction techniques.
Mayshark operates its own specialized millwork facility, enabling us to turn our clients’ visions into reality. Our facility is fully equipped and staffed to produce a wide range of custom cabinetry and architectural trim. The expertise of our craftsmen can be seen in homes throughout Chautauqua Institution, Findley Lake, and across Chautauqua County. Additionally, we prioritize energy efficiency in every project by employing sustainable practices in our millwork, including recycling waste materials and using locally sourced materials whenever possible.
Timber framing is another area where our expertise truly shines. This time-honored construction method combines traditional craftsmanship with modern engineering to create durable and aesthetically striking structures. Using carefully selected timber, our skilled artisans craft exposed beams, intricate joinery, and sturdy frameworks that withstand the test of time. Whether for a full timber-framed home, an accent feature, or a custom outbuilding, we take pride in creating structures that celebrate natural materials and sustainable building practices.
