We take great satisfaction in serving our customers with their commercial and residential architecture projects. It's rewarding to receive great 5-star reviews from happy customers!
Working with Mike was such a pleasure. Mike was very patient and thorough. Several changes needed to be made in the construction drawings to meet code.

We will provide 2-3 meetings, perform site measurements, create existing drawings, and generate some preliminary concepts.
We perform a thorough Zoning Analysis that will answer all of these questions.
Before beginning any design, the analysis will determine all of the unique zoning regulations that pertain to your building site.
The Zoning Analysis allows you to confidently begin design by knowing the design will conform to the zoning restrictions of the site.

New homes, also called custom homes or new construction are ground-up new construction designed around your lifestyle.
Typically these houses are built on vacant land.
They may also replace an old house.
We believe in holistic design; great architecture is more than plopping four walls and a roof on an empty lot.
Architecture begins internally and extends beyond the walls.
Where does that french door lead to?
And what does that feature window look onto?
We incorporate interior design and landscape design into our services.

If this is the type of project you are considering, make sure you have an architect on-board from the beginning.
We've fixed many houses where additions or renovations have gone wrong.
A poorly planned addition or renovation will negatively impact your home value.
Not mention, what a waste of time and money!
As architects, we design space while taking into account a multitude of other factors.
These factors include light, ventilation, circulation/flow, materials, and best construction practices to just name a few things.

Let's face it, people judge a book by its cover.
That hole in the wall restaurant with amazing food that's always busy is an exception to the rule and really more of a great story than a reality.
We want the businesses that we frequent to match our style.
We want to dine in places with amazing architecture and interior design.
If the business has good taste in architecture, then, logically they must have good taste in food as well.
The theory carries for many types of businesses, you wouldn't shop in a dumpy building to buy a nice gift.
