greendesigner

My mission is to help you. It's about good design which functions well, a home which is built to last, one designed to be super energy efficient, and as "green" as you desire.


I design site specific, one of a kind residences for those who are seeking designs which are "outside the box" of what you normally see. It is only after meeting with you, getting to know you and how you live, finding out your dreams and desires, carefully interviewing you about your needs, examining the site and understanding your vision, only then I will design a home which is uniquely yours. The home I design will stand the test of time in the scope of its design, the materials specified, and the beauty of its detailing_ both inside and out, and on all sides. I take pride finding for my clients unique or unusual items which are a perfect fit for their new home. Rather than encouraging you to build bigger, I encourage one only to build as large as one really needs, but then build your home to be richer and warmer with more interesting details which enhance your living experience.


I also design additions and reconfigure homes which need a new eye for design. The work I do will become a seamless addition to the style your home, or if your home lacks personality, I will transform it from "plain Jane" to "Hello, meet Jane!"

i design residential architecture.


i design for the future! I want to make sure your home will be energy efficient, and includes healthy and quality materials for you, your friends and family's well being.


i design with interesting, new and exciting ideas. No cookie cutter designs!


i design green! Building green is always in good fashion and your project can be designed to be as green as you desire.


i design to save energy! Saving energy is everyone's concern.


i design to reflect your values. Your home will reflect who you are and how you wish to live, and what you value in the world.


i design for your views! Whether your views are of water, forests, green meadows, or your neighbor's garage, with careful planning and design all your views will be desirable. I will design to showcase only that which you desire to see.


i design for your needs. Comfortable, places for everything and inviting spaces for everyone. A home filled with positive energy.


i design for your budget. Whether it is big, small or something in between. Good design can help any home feel larger and attractive and work for how you live. Good design is the key to better resale value.


i design for how you want to build. There is no one way to build anymore. Choose from traditional framing methods to, advanced framing, insulated concrete forms, timber frame, insulated structural panels, passive solar, energy efficient and long lasting "green" roofs, the list is endless.


i design for architectural style integrity. While all architecture requires special attention, especially traditional architecture requires a knowledgeable designer who understands the visual language of the style you desire. It is the details that give it that very special, authentic look. Whether you desire authentic "French Country", Arts & Crafts, Shingle Style, Classical, Georgian, Colonial, Cape Cod, Contemporary, Modern, Post-Modern, each and every style has its own "visual Language".


i design well! Good design is everything to me. Your project will be designed so all sides of your building are attractive, not just the front.
