Philosophy

My desire as an architect is to design creative, exciting spaces! I further emphasize natural, light-filled, as well as cost-effective solutions. These spaces are unique to the client, the site and the time for which they are designed.

Some of the priorities that I consider important to a satisfying project are:

• Close client relationships
  It is essential to have good communication between the client, the architect and the contractor. This starts with me being a good listener.
   
• Solid, lasting Designs
  Within a variety of styles, the emphasis on clean, classic lines, abundant natural light, balanced spaces and smooth flow will lead to a design which is appropriate now and in the future.
   
• Cost-effective Design
  Eliminating waste in both the design process and during construction gives the client the most impact for their budget. This attitude may be applied to any project and any budget. The result is a more refined design.
   
• Use of Computers
  In my estimation, the primary advantage of using computers during the design process is to minimize the time spent in production so that it may be used in developing the actual design. I make extensive use of computer modeling and drafting to this end.
