How will you benefit?
Join the 1000's of 
families for whom we've designed 
Custom buildings, additions, and renovations. 
  • Just the right size, yet maximizing your "Build-out potential" 
  • Healthy for you as well as nature (Green & Sustainable -energy efficient)
  • Low maintenance and operating costs
  • Disciplined cost controls - affordable 
  • Well crafted with "Fit and Finish"
  • inspiring and marketable with great return on your investment 
  • Your building will look pleasing and respond to functional requirements -
  • Solving real practical physical problems  - shelter, structure, warmth, fresh air, safety, comfort, food storage, preparation and family dining, energy supply, tranquility, rest, hygiene, communications, built in storage, etc.
  • Also adding something special that distinguishes your spirit - beauty - yet balancing the aesthetic with the practical.  You can benefit from my decades of practice so that proportion and detailing is just right, but.. 
  • Most of a "building" is invisible -    
  • The way it processes structural forces, BTUs, moisture, fresh air, fresh water, waste, noise, the earth's heat, and sometimes even filtering - storing water and growing - storing food, gathering - storing power,  etc.  In many ways the biological and cognitive systems in a building become extensions of our own body.
  • Our basic fee includes incorporation of the latest (and some of the oldest) technology in every project - can include  Geo-thermal HVAC, radiant heat, spray foam or other special high R-Value Insulation, efficient windows and doors, tightly sealed envelopes, fresh conditioned filtered air, passive and active - photo-voltaic solar, and sometimes fire-proof light guage metal framing.
      
    Aside from "Good Design" you will receive:
  • Early construction cost estimates for your approval along with the design sketches
  • Completely detailed documents and specifications clearly describing to the contractor what you expect for your money.
  • Professional Competitive Bidding Process, Contractor Selection, negotiation of a fair AIA Contract and Payment Schedule,
  • Permit expedition and then inspections and other support during construction as needed.

We will help with any size project from a simple basement, kitchen or deck to a large addition or new home.  The office has purposely been maintained in a modest low overhead manner in a ground floor retail setting with parking right out front providing easy friendly access.  Walk-ins welcome to meet directly with Geoff.
