Our office provides Architectural Services on a variety of projects ranging in size and complexity from advice on do-it-yourself projects to designing small office buildings. Our focus, however, is on designing custom homes. We talk with you, listening carefully to understand your vision, goals and desires in creating a new environment for you.
We apply our knowledge and experience to develop your vision, ideas and goals in order to create a well designed and unique environment that suits your needs and fits within your budget.We specialize in using sustainable design to create environmentaly responsible homes that benefit the health of our clients as well as the health of the environment.
Sustainable design, also known as green design, creates human environments that provide efficiency, comfort and convenience while preserving our natural resources for future generations by maximizing the use of renewable resources and minimizing consumption of non-renewable resources. Sustainably designed and constructed buildings are better for the health and well-being of the owners, and the environment in general, than are the more conventionally designed and constructed buildings.

Services
Working with an architect to design a new home or to remodel an existing one can help save time, money and materials, while increasing the overall quality of the home.
Through training and experience, an architect can suggest many ways in which a home may better reflect the needs and desires of the owners.
Trends in housing design over recent decades have produced larger, more expensive but less efficient, and less personal houses.
Architects can offer more efficient designs for large homes, and can also demonstrate many ways that a smaller, well designed and less costly home can provide the same or better quality of life than a larger "standard" single family home.

His imaginative approach to our ideas and his innovative contributions made our place a one-of-a-kind spot for us and our friends to enjoy the Lake.
Steve designed a breakfast room addition to our older Tudor home.
His design integrated seamlessly into the existing house and incorporated interesting features like a slanted ceiling and rounded posts.
