Beyond the Black Box

Beyond the Black Box is a design-build partnership between Major Jacks and Wishbone, bringing together design, interiors, construction, and real estate under one roof to create distinctive homes in the Catskills.

Rather than working from a signature style, each project is shaped by its setting and a collaborative creative process. The result is a growing portfolio of residences that embrace a diverse design vocabulary while remaining united by the same level of thoughtful consideration.
