Working with Engelhardt Architecture was a gift - Bill made a complicated series of decisions enjoyable and helped us navigate through the process by helping us with decisions no matter how big or small, and by artfully managing the contractor and subs. Bill's subject matter expertise, considerable experience, and sensitivity to our existing house and how things would fit in resulted in a finished product in which we felt immediately at home, and which I am thankful for everyday.

Services
I value well thought-out, efficient plans and details that make a place feel well crafted.
I think that design should revolve around the people who occupy and interact with a building.
I want things to feel natural - everything should just work.
I don't favor any particular style of architecture but I think that the style of a project should permeate every aspect of a building from its layout to its smallest detail.
I see design as a collaborative process.
Everyone has something to contribute, based on their strengths.
