EXPERIENCE
With over 300 successfully completed projects since starting business in 1980, I have acquired the kind of "know-how" that only can be gained by experience. Familiarity with local codes, knowledge of standard and state-of-the-art construction practices, good understanding of structural design, and awareness of costs give me the foundation for practical and efficient architectural design. My artistic background, with a wide range of architectural influences, allows an innovative approach to each project.

Good design is a process, requiring the recognition of fundamental design limitations and options. I have the experience to guide this process, building a complex design on basic decisions made in agreement with the client.

OBJECTIVE
My objective with each project is a creative and attractive design solution that is an expression of the client’s style and attitude; a solution that is unique in the context of the neighborhood.
