White & Liebler Architects has been providing the highest quality architectural design and planning services for residential, resort and commercial properties since 1979. Our project scope ranges from small residential additions to large estate residences, commercial buildings and institutional projects.

We are knowledgeable in LEED certification and sustainable design.

We believe in a team approach and welcome the involvement of interior designers, landscape architects and other specialty trades.

Our strengths lie in interpreting the owners' desires and fulfilling the dream with both an attractive and appropriate exterior and a functional yet stylish interior.
