Currently in the building stage of our new home and are 100% satisfied with how our home has translated from paper to wood, steel & stone. Our one and only complaint would be SAL's budget management. Overall, was an absolute pleasure to work with Jim Rowe, Mike Palmer and professional staff...they designed our dream home! ## Selected projects - [Modern House on an Old Farm](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-house-on-an-old-farm-pj-vj~323460) - Location: Malvern, PA - Photos: 10 - Description: This modern 7,000 square foot home sits on a sloping, four acre site.
