We design and build homes, and the things inside them, one detail at a time.
A design-build studio in Philadelphia led by Jayme Guokas. From adaptive reuse and whole-house renovations to the kitchens, built-ins and furniture that finish them, we see every project through ourselves.
How we workWhat we do
One studio for the whole project: adaptive reuse, whole-house renovations, kitchens and baths, built-ins, and furniture made in our own shop.

Jayme has completed three projects in our house over the past three years. In each job he’s made suggestions that have really improved upon our original ideas. For the new powder room he went to an architectural salvage place and found molding to match the original woodwork. That attention to detail and thoughtfulness is what makes his work special.

Working with Craftwork was a wonderful experience. Jayme was professional, accessible and a great communicator. He was open to every idea we had, and brought several, like old stained glass in an interior window, to gorgeous reality. He gently steered us away from things that would not have fit the space as well.

We did a kitchen and living area renovation: custom cabinets and shelves, concrete counters, exposed beams. Jayme worked in an existing antique bar, which is now a seamless permanent fixture with matching concrete counters. I got everything I asked for. Couldn’t be happier.

Restaurant designer
Jayme built the exact concrete counter I was envisioning for Mission Taqueria, a restaurant I designed in Center City. He worked hard to complete and install a large project under a tight timeline while coordinating effectively with the other trades.

I am completely thrilled with the concrete vanity top Jayme made for my powder room. He was able to take my vision and create a conversation piece that was exactly what I was hoping for.

His design ideas were valuable and he was eager to incorporate my own to create something truly custom. There was no other design or look that could’ve completed the renovation better. I’ll be coming to him for my next design-build project.

Jayme came over for a consultation, brought samples and gave us a very close estimate. After he poured the concrete he kept in touch to let us know how it was curing, then installed it with a crew in no time. Courteous and professional throughout.
