With a focus on healthy construction techniques and a community-driven crew model, Borealis Design Build creates heirloom constructions tailored to the specific needs and desires of their discerning clients.
Brendan Bonnett's journey began in the northern oil patch of Alaska, where he honed his skills amongst experienced tradesmen. His passion for timberframe construction led him to Montana, where he studied the traditional arts of structural wood joinery under skilled master craftsmen. In 2002, he returned to Alaska, ready to apply his expertise by founding The Borealis Woodwright LLC. Over the years, he has expanded his construction experience and established strong professional relationships, ultimately resulting in the establishment of Borealis Design Build.
Recognizing the unique challenges posed by Alaska's climate, geographical remoteness, and specific material availability, Brendan has effectively positioned himself as a trusted consultant in the industry. His understanding of energy issues and local construction needs informs every project undertaken by Borealis Design Build.
The company also boasts innovative offerings like ArtSafe™, a museum-quality line of technical display cabinetry designed to preserve and showcase valuable artifacts safely.
