We believe in the integral relationship between site and structure and that sustainable design begins with the orientation of the building on the site. The site includes all factors that have a direct impact on the project. We analyze the topography, surrounding neighborhoods, city codes, client desires, sun angles and wind directions to create spatial experiences that allow people to connect with their environment. ### Services Provided - Architectural Design ### Areas Served - Tucson ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | GIDEON-D Architects | | Address | 4847 N.

He took a 1,600 sqft dated home and transformed it into a 2,600 sqft masterpiece. His design ideas are very creative, functional and increased the value of the property. He is extremely easy to work with and listens to your priorities. His sense of urgency, attention to detail, taste and expertise is an outstanding combination that is very rare. The aforementioned skills and personality yielded a product that far exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended. It was an honor working with him. **★★★★★ — abonaime, Aug. 2018** > Gideon helped our family with a large-scale kitchen renovation. His ideas and visions for the space enabled us to create a space we had never imagined or thought possible. Gideon also helped us with product selection and pushed us to combine different textures. His attention to detail is certainly one of the reasons the renovation turned out so well and was completed on time. His ability to catch small errors in the building process saved us time and money. He is creative and thorough, he completely exceeded our expectations with this project. **★★★★★ — Jim Benjamin, Aug. 2017** > Gideon did a very solid job for our Company - we gut renovated 9 apartments and also renovated 2 multi family buildings. He is very knowledgeable in regards to mobility impaired modifications needed to address an individual with special needs. We have used his services in the past and will use his expertise in the future > > Jim Benjamin - LEED AP Homes > GB Management LLC **★★★★★ — Andrew Meyer, April 2017** > Gideon was a huge help when I converted a single family into a duplex. He designed a number of creative layouts for me to choose from, and introduced me to a reasonably priced contractor. I'm very pleased with the final result and would recommend Gideon to anyone. **★★★★★ — J N, April 2017** > Gideon designed and drew an extension to add an additional room at the back of our house. It was a tricky addition as it had to fit in a tight space between our house and our swimming pool. Gideon did a great job designing an addition that gave us the most room possible in the space available. We were very impressed with his attention to detail especially when it came to talking to the city and getting them to agree to how we could use the space around the pool. When we were getting quotes for the addition it was clear that, although the builders were confident they knew all the rules and regulations, Gideon’s homework on how and where we could build near the pool was much more accurate. > Going into the process we were very confident that we knew exactly what we wanted, but Gideon improved the final design significantly by not just designing and drawing what we thought we wanted, but also giving us options for what was feasible that we could not have imagined on our own. > Gideon was extremely pleasant to work with and was great at keeping us in the loop as he was working on his designs. We would definitely work with him again. ## Selected projects - [Chicken Coop](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chicken-coop-pj-vj~4199529) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - Description: Situated in the desert climate, the most important idea was to provide plenty of shade for the chickens but still have breezes to cool the coop. Based on sun angle studies, the facade changes to block summer sun but allow winter sun depending on the direction. The coop was also designed on a tight budget and had to be able to be constructed by Waldorf parents. Thus, 2x4's in different configurations are the primary material. - [Via Amable](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/via-amable-pj-vj~4417738) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: This existing single family house, had a partially enclosed kitchen. The intention of this project was to open the kitchen to the surrounding interior spaces. This was achieved by removing walls and adding a large island where the family can gather. The wood backsplash creates a contrast to the cabinets. The orange chairs and light fixtures give bright color splashes to the white and dark blue cabinets. We incorporated the existing soffit in the dining area to harmonize with the remodeled kitche… - [Oakview](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/oakview-pj-vj~591530) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - Description: This existing single family house, built in 1953, had an enclosed kitchen that was separated from the living/dining area. The guest bathroom did not have a shower and multiple plumbing pipes were exposed. The intention of this project was to open the kitchen to the surrounding interior and exterior spaces. This was achieved by removing walls, adding an island and inserting glass doors into the existing exterior wall. A downdraft ventilation system was installed in lieu of a hood to further conne… - [Vernon](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/vernon-pj-vj~609424) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 19 - Description: The design for this property in Venice evolved out of site and program constraints. The client wanted two separate single family dwellings on the lot. The Venice Specific Plan requires a sloped roof for the maximum height and an additional setback of the front yard above a certain height. Thus the roof and front façade are angled to generate a dynamic structure. Two separate residences each with its own private yard are created. The rear residence has an interior yard connecting the kitchen/dini… - [Stanwich](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stanwich-pj-vj~2665729) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - Description: This existing single family house, had an enclosed kitchen that was separated from the living area. The intention of this project was to open the kitchen to the surrounding interior and exterior spaces. This was achieved by removing walls, adding an island and inserting glass doors into the existing exterior wall. A downdraft ventilation system was installed in lieu of a hood to further connect the interior and exterior space with unobstructed views to the outside. A mud room was added that allo… - [Lynngrove](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lynngrove-pj-vj~591476) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - Description: Situated in a beach community, the clients developed this house with sustainable features. Accomplishing this within the budget required a combination of passive and active systems. The design concept focused on separate public and private spaces connected by a central outdoor area. The spatial movement from common entry to public or private space is enhanced in section by varied ceiling heights. The façade materials reinforce the concept with horizontal redwood siding at the private volume and… [See all 6 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/gideon-d-architects-pfvwus-pf~185106638) ## Ideabooks - [Los Altos Rd](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/183897092/list/los-altos-rd) — 11 ideas - [Kilmer](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/179165191/list/kilmer) — 32 ideas - [Marine Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/171040578/list/marine-bathroom) — 13 ideas - [Chaparral](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/152202743/list/chaparral) — 7 ideas [See all 4 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/gideondanilowitz) ## Community Q&A **Q: Siding?** *(in Photo Questions)* What product/finish is the wood siding?
