Alice Dodson Architect, PA

More than thirty years of work experience has resulted in a wide variety of projects in our portfolio. We have extensive experience in multiple construction and design methods, including solar design, alternative energy use, building-biology (baubiologie) and ecology, Healthy Built Homes of NC and Energy Star Certification programs. Besides standard construction methods we have extensive experience with alternatives like timber and log construction, Durisol, AAC, SIP panels, ICF, straw bale, monolithic and geodesic dome design. Our architectural work is mostly custom residential and residential community-related design; retreat centers, spa and healing centers, occasional commercial projects, cottages and smaller homes, as well as custom additions and remodeling. Through the use of computer technology we can provide you with 3-D images or we can create models, renderings and presentation material of the projects. Integrated Design means that we find the optimal solutions, design and building methods for your site and for your personal needs and budget. Besides the use of healthy building materials and energy efficient design, we also emphasize the experience of the home as a whole, as if we were designing spaces with “soul”. For this, we use our knowledge of classical Chinese Feng Shui and Sacred Geometry.
