"The Perfect Retreat"

Stone used to create "The Perfect Retreat"            The Mann residence at Briars Creek was recentely featured in the Winter edition of Charleston Style and Design magazine.  The stone work selected by architect Marc Camens and builder Steve Koenig was picked for his adirondak rustic feeling. Take a look at the article The Perfect Retreat by Wendy Swat Snyder         The stone was installed by Sam Puffer of Samrea Masonry.  He was able to blend mutiple stones together to create the look the homeowners desired.  “What I try to bring together with my skill set,” says Camens, who had also lived in Pennsylvania at one time, “is an understanding of the clients’ unique situation-what their dream is, their aesthetic, how they live, and how that works with the site. Something always comes up that triggers how the plan is going to evolve, and helps direct what the home ultimately looks like.”  The stone was also used on a large fireplace in the vaulted ceiling living room.
