“We have a remote, off grid property and I was certain that we'd have great difficulty finding anyone willing to take on this project. Mela and Dave didn't bat an eye. Mela worked patiently with us to design a simple, elegant and functional rural home. Our new home is gorgeous (yet fits the remote and rural setting),highly energy efficient, extremely functional. It's more comfortable than any home I've lived in. When most people hear we live "off grid" they envision some kind of tiny home, and it's hard to explain just how lovely and comfortable this home is. They were also just delightful, professional and LIKEABLE people to work with. Their construction team was marvelous, meticulous, gracious. I felt like artisans were building our home. So clearly we are extremely happy we chose them for our project and grateful to them for taking it on with such commitment to excellence. They often describe us as "adventurous " but we took zero risk in choosing ADB.”

“Kristi/Karin, On October 18, we moved into the new house that you designed for us and have been enjoying it immensely. It is even nicer than we had envisaged when we were looking at the plans on paper. The living space (Great Room, kitchen, eating area) are working out perfectly. We’ve had two sets of guests up already and having all that open space has been very handy. All the large windows in the back (Great Room, kitchen, master bedroom) make it feel like we’re camping. The steel staircase complements the exposed steel beams and posts and is a phenomenal centerpiece as you walk into the house. We greatly appreciate the collaborative way in which you worked with us to come up with this design. We had some ideas on what we were after when we began the process, but you were able to shape our inchoate thoughts into something really spectacular. You also were very proactive in talking with the town’s building department and submitting our permit application at a fortuitous time for us. We also valued your input on what it would cost to build the place. Interestingly, despite COVID and all the related supply chain issues we’ve experienced over the past year and a half, our actual construction cost came in very close to your original ball park estimate. Thank you very much for your partnership in helping us realize a real dream home. All the best, Joe Naylor & Karen Torres”

“Scott is an extremely talented and versatile architect. He listened to us very carefully, and offered brilliant suggestions, which culminated in a vacation home in Lake Tahoe that has incredible warmth and serious "wow factor". We loved his work (and working with him) so much, he is designing our primary residence in Clear Creek Tahoe.”
