Design Approach:

Design is the process of analyzing data specific to a Client and data specific to a Site and synthesizing a solution. I start the design of my homes with a Client’s input and then shape it to make it fit the property and take full advantage of what the Land has to offer.The most successful designs are those that combine this data and makes a Client’s dream into a reality.

Why Use Me?

1. I work on my own. Ten years ago I had several Architects working for me but I found that, when designing custom homes, it is essential that a one on one relationship exists with my clients so that none of the Data is lost or mis-understood in the translation to someone “in the back room”. Building a home is an expensive proposition. Don’t let an Architectural firm design it unless you are guaranteed to get the Principal’s primary, undivided attention. Your home is worth it.

2. I only design fine homes. I don’t aspire to take on commercial projects like most Architects. When they do, the residential ones take a back seat to the more lucrative and visible commercial projects. I find the personal experience of making a Client’s dreams into a reality much more enjoyable.

3. I don’t take on more work than I can handle. Although I may design five or six homes a year, my Clients always feel that they have my primary attention.
