Our overriding architectural and business philosophy is that we work with you, and for you.
We view our responsibility as distilling your input and desires into a clear, practical, aesthetic and valuable architectural solution, customized to your individual project.
You will not be overwhelmed by an egotistic desire to force our design ideals into your home or commercial building.
Rather, we will provide you with a clear view of many alternatives.
We will help you balance opportunities and constraints against advantages and disadvantages for each option, enabling you to make your own best final decision.

For significant projects, most cities require some form of Planning Department review process.
The process varies from city to city.
This can range from simple staff level approvals to formal public hearings.
Some projects require pushing beyond the normal everyday entitlements set by the planning codes.
In order to find success, we strive to advocate special circumstances.
Variances: Exceptions or variances are granted when there are restricting hardships unique to the property.
Young and Borlik Architects can articulate the hardship arguments to realize the potential of the project.
