Don architects only design big, expensive, and unusual houses for the rich and famous?
Some do, and those are the ones that get published in magazines because they’re more interesting to read about and photograph. But many of us work with average people on fairly normal houses, bringing our expertise in design and construction to the task of making your house work better for you. As you will see on our Past Projects page, most of our residential projects have been for fairly average size houses and use conventional design approaches and construction techniques. Among other factors, insurance companies are not interested in cutting edge architecture for their projects, especially if it costs more! While we would love to do projects with large budgets for owners who want something truly unique, we also welcome projects where we can contribute our expertise to make a modest addition or new house work well. We want to give you the house you need, not the one that looks most spectacular in our portfolio.
