othing symbolizes the American dream quite like the single-family home. Owning
one epitomizes many of the characteristics we strive to achieve: autonomy,
success, comfort, responsibility. And when that home is custom-built and designed by
an architect, all of those traits are magnified, elevating the house to the coveted "dream
home" status.
The task of designing someone's dream home comes with high expectations, and our
team is ready to meet those, regardless of the challenges. Every site presents issues
to consider—tree placement, slope, sun orientation—which is why we operate as a
solutions-oriented firm. The secret to building someone's ideal single-family home is
creative problem solving. Sometimes, the most obvious or the easiest resolution is not
the one that works best, and we always want what works best.
Deeply personal and unique, a successful single-family home requires that the
homeowners be engaged at every level, so getting to know the details of our clients' lives
is important. We create floorplans and rooms that function specifically to their needs. Are
they active? Do they entertain often? Do they have small children or grandchildren? And
of course, we offer an aesthetic that they love, and will continue to appreciate for decades
to come.
In the end, after a home meets all of its functional requirements, it should celebrate,
nurture, and inspire the people it was built for—that's what makes it a true dream home.
