Our team
At Giles Healey Construction, our mission is to craft spaces and pieces that resonate with the natural beauty of the Monterey Bay Peninsula. We believe in the power of precision craftsmanship and the use of high-quality materials that not only serve a purpose but also evoke a deep connection to the environment.
​
Founded by Giles Healey, our construction firm brings decades of experience in design and construction. Our focus is on delivering custom solutions that seamlessly integrate with the unique coastal surroundings of Monterey. Whether it’s crafting elegant, energy-efficient windows or designing furniture that complements the architecture of a space, we are dedicated to excellence in every detail.
​
Our workshop is where our team of skilled artisans and builders bring these visions to life. Each project is approached with a commitment to quality, sustainability, and an understanding of the client’s needs, ensuring that every window and piece of furniture we create enhances the beauty and functionality of the home.
PROCESS
We see construction and design as a craft. Like the finest handmade objects, each of our projects is unique, carrying the distinct touch of our skilled artisans and the individual needs of our clients. While we often work with a consistent palette of materials—wood, glass, and metal—each design is a tailored response to the specific environment of the Monterey Bay Peninsula and the unique vision of our clients.
​
Our design process is deeply collaborative. We begin with hand sketches and detailed drawings to explore ideas with our clients. These initial concepts are then refined through a blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern techniques, including computer-aided design, to ensure precision and clarity at every stage. We believe that starting with hand-drawn designs allows us to maintain a close connection to the human elements of scale, proportion, and detail, ensuring that each piece we create resonates with the environment and our clients' needs.
​
For us, design is a process of refinement and simplification. We distill our ideas to their core, creating designs that are both timeless and personal. Our work reflects our clients' aspirations while seamlessly integrating with the natural beauty of their surroundings.
​
Communication is central to our process. From the first concept to the final installation, Giles Healey is personally involved in each project, ensuring continuity and a strong working relationship throughout. This hands-on approach not only fosters efficiency but also guarantees that every design is thoughtfully conceived and fully realized, delivering a finished product that is as functional as it is beautiful.
