Peter B. Harmon, A.I.A., Architecture + Planning

We hired Peter Harmon to design our house remodel after seeing the excellent job he did on my sister's house a few years ago. Peter's experience and expansive knowledge of local building codes, permit processes, city planners, local builders and more helps us keep to budgets and deadlines. His design sense is classic and contemporary, and even better, he listens to us. One of our concerns has been to design our house to be comfortable and safe for our elderly parents, as well as for us as we get older. Peter's helped us do that without compromising aesthetics. We're also interested in being as green as we can be, and Peter's brought lots of ideas to the table, such as a gray water system. Besides his professional experience, Peter is an excellent communicator. He's clear, open, and direct in the nicest way possible. The scope of his knowledge and his easy manner have made us feel like we have a partner who cares almost as much as we do about getting our home so that it works better for us.
