Architecture & Planning

My design firm specializes in residential architecture. Design services include site planning, density studies, building typology development, mixed-use, single family, designing various multi-family building types of differing densities, program, and price markets. My overall goal as an Architect is to create inspired spaces which invoke and enrich people's lives. My responsibility/challenge as an Architect is not to just make a space, but to create meaningful housing for people to identify with. It is very important that you find an Architect you connect with and like communicating with because you will be working with this individual on a very personal level. Having an open dialogue while tailoring a space towards a client's needs and desires is vital to a successful project. Everyone uses spaces differently. These differences play a key role in generating a project's "design inspiration" which defines the way you choose to use the space. A beginning conversation about what the goals are for program, size, use, interrelationships between spaces, etc. allows ideas to develop. As the project develops the most important desirables will become clear therefore helping to define the design direction for the project.
