MADELEINE DYMLING | Owner & Principal Designer - LEED AP, CAP, AKBD

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a calling to create spaces.

I'm an Interior, Furniture and Building Designer. 
I'm a foodie, francophile, a wannabe potter, traveler, gardener, knitter, and chicken lover.
I love what we do and the people we work with.

I'm from Sweden and I have lived in the states for most of my adult life. I believe I bring a little Nordic flair to most of our projects as well as inspiration from our trips.

I attended Kendall College of Art and Design, and I have over 29 years of design and build experience.

KATIE HOFFSTATTER | Interior Designer & Project Manager

My design interests began as a child with treehouses, and continues now with the playful additions I like to add to my work with Flatbrook.

On the side, I am a musician, a singer, a painter, and a cat lover.

I’m currently based out of Paris, France, where I completed my Master’s degree in Interior Design. Although I was born and raised in upstate NY, where I also attended RPI for architecture.

I have been a designer with Flatbrook since March 2021.

THE BUILDERS

JOSEPH MCAVOY | Co-Owner, Vice President & Master Carpenter

I was born and raised in upstate NY and have lived in Columbia county for the last 14 years, where I’ve worked in the field doing what I love, finish carpentry.

A couple of my goals are to master a second language (must be Swedish) and to properly play the guitar. I love to travel the world with my wife, France being at the top of the list and I absolutely adore chickens! I enjoy spending time working in the garden or being at the pottery wheel making a bowl or ten!

I have more than 35 years of building experience, which I am very proud to bring to our clients at Flatbrook We are a small, woman owned, family business who work tirelessly for our clients. 

THOMAS MCAVOY | Carpenter

I have been a happy member of the Flatbrook team since 2018.

I’m from upstate NY, where I love to spend time outdoors gardening, skiing and fishing. When the weather isn’t great, you can find me experimenting in the kitchen.

I enjoy finish carpentry, and I’m always interested in learning new techniques and tools to apply in the field.

ANTHONY POTTS | Carpenter

I began working with Flatbrook & Co in the winter of 2024.

I was raised in central NY, where I spent a lot of time learning carpentry from my dad. Because of this, I’ve always loved working with my hands.

I love the outdoors and travelling. In fact, I recently completed a road trip around the entire of the USA!

I appreciate working with Flatbrook because we take pride in the work that we do, and this means we maintain a great quality of work.
