## About

### Houzz Badges

- 25 Ideabook Saves

Architecture is the balance of three simple things; mind, body and spirit. 

How I interpret this for each of my clients is what makes each of the projects unique to them. The designs are as straight forward as possible in order to emphasis the essence of each material, quality and play of day and night light and the spaces are created to encourage discoveries within. I work with strong concepts to guide the process.

Sustainability is something I practice as a matter of course through budgets, life cycle costs and maintenance and a light foot print.

My hands have had and continue to have the fortune of working with stone, metal and wood. For me, these elements in their pure form embody mind, body and spirit.

Feel free to reach out to me, I look forward to working with you.

  - Description: While the original Kitchen was workable, it was dark. Plus, I really disliked having my back to my guest as I was cooking and I have this terrible habit of leaving cabinet doors open (means I walk into them). So I re-oriented the stove and just used shelves; means I have to all things beautiful on them! The original bathroom had a tub and shower without any natural light. I installed the skylight which changed feeling of the room from claustrophobic to light and airy. The skylight is trimmed wit…
