✨ The Art of Lasting Design

From the precision of each entasis to the grace of every capital, our columns transcend function to become enduring expressions of proportion, balance, and tradition. Whether enhancing a grand estate or completing a thoughtful restoration, each piece is crafted to uphold centuries of architectural excellence.

For architects, builders, and homeowners who value the power of detail — we’re honored to collaborate, advise, and help bring classical vision to life.

“The whole beauty of a building is dependent on its correspondence with the place it stands in, its durability, and the perfection of its workmanship.”
— Leon Battista Alberti, The Ten Books of Architecture, Book IX, p. 57

🏛️ The Composite Order: A Roman Synthesis

The Composite order, Rome’s own contribution, unites the volutes of the Ionic with the acanthus of the Corinthian. It's very name proclaims invention: a deliberate act of synthesis, designed to demonstrate authority and refinement. It was chosen for triumphal arches and monuments, structures intended to declare power to the world.

Robert Chitham, in The Classical Orders of Architecture (1985), described it as “a Roman contribution — bold in conception, eclectic in ornament.” Unlike the Greek orders, the Composite is unapologetically imperial, proclaiming Rome’s ambition in both scale and richness. For the architect, it offers a vocabulary not of moderation, but of grandeur — the final word in the hierarchy of the Orders, and the fullest expression of architecture as a statement of enduring authority.

“The Romans, desirous of adding to the graces of the Corinthian, invented another order, which they called the Composite, making use of the same proportions, but enriching it with new ornaments.”
— Andrea Palladio, The Four Books of Architecture, Book I, p. 12

🏛️ Entablatures of the Orders

From architrave to frieze to cornice, these engravings demonstrate the refinement of proportion at the highest register of architecture. The entablature is not merely termination but culmination — the architect’s line of poetry in stone.

“The entablature may be said to form the crowning feature of the order; it completes and binds the whole together, giving finish and dignity to the composition.”
— Sir William Chambers, in A Treatise on the Decorative Part of Civil Architecture (1759), reprinted in Fred T. Hodgson, The Five Orders of Architecture, p. 74

🏛️ The Corinthian Order: Ornament as Authority

The Corinthian order is the crown of Greek invention, its capital adorned with acanthus leaves that rise with sculptural vitality, spiraling into volutes that cradle the abacus. It is a celebration of ornament, where nature is transfigured into stone, giving form to abundance and splendor.

As William Chambers wrote in A Treatise on the Decorative Part of Civil Architecture (1759), the Corinthian achieves “the highest degree of richness and delicacy.” The Romans adopted it eagerly, finding in it the ideal order for temples, palaces, and monuments of imperial grandeur. For the modern designer, the Corinthian reminds us that beauty is not only in restraint but in the artful elaboration of detail. It is architecture as triumph, where craft and ornament unite to exalt structure into magnificence.

“The Corinthian may be called the most beautiful of all the orders, because it is the most rich in ornament, and the most delicate in its proportions.”
— Andrea Palladio, The Four Books of Architecture, Book I, p. 11

✨ A Landmark of Southern Grandeur

Overlooking Savannah’s historic Forsyth Park, the Mills B. Lane House stands as a testament to early 20th-century craftsmanship and classical design. Built in 1908 for the prominent Georgia banker Mills B. Lane, this six-bedroom residence exudes timeless sophistication.

Its stately Ionic columns, dignified brick façade, Swan’s neck pediment, and hand-forged ironwork define an exterior of enduring grace. Within its 14,500 square feet — including a carriage house and pool cabana — the home reveals an extraordinary renovation that honors its past while embracing refined modern living.

Inside, original period details mingle with artistry and light: soaring ceilings, parquet floors, and Bob Christian’s hand-painted panels all contribute to an atmosphere of elegance that transcends time.
