A wooded retreat with a special view, a south facing courtyard along a river, an arrangement of rooms borrowed from memory, a home designed to express sustainability. The projects below each represent a unique architectural solution to a specific site and environment, and to the equally important goals, desires and aspirations of the client. A stock plan from a catalogue may offer basically satisfactory room arrangements, but cannot in any meaningful way respond to the unique influences that siting, environment and human intentions bring to each project. To maximize the value of your investment and the rewards of building your ideal dwelling place, an architect designed home is the one-best solution. |
