How It's Made: Arches

An arched frame is a staple design that has been around for ages. While it once served more important engineering role, we find today it is used more for aesthetic purposes. An arched frame can be utilized for a softer and inviting entrance. Browse the photos below of a custom Hamilton home, featuring many arched designs throughout the home!      This custom Hamilton home welcomes guests with an arched front door. The arch design of the window reflects the  front door design With another custom home in the works that features an arched hallway, we wanted to be sure to give you a behind-the-scenes look at how this particular arch has been created! . . . and get our arch prepped! We start with our wall...  And the arch is up! Stay tuned for interior photo shots, featuring an elegant arch! Looking to add an arch to your own custom home?
