As a life long Californian, I strive to continue the varied architectural traditions of the American West reinterpreted for modern living. I value the appropriateness of scale, materiality and historic style. I am guided by topography, unique site constraints and the use of natural materials. My clients and I work in close collaboration, from project inception through completion, exceeding mere programmatic requirements to achieve a built result of enduring architectural value.
My thirty years of architectural expertise includes all aspects of site planning, design and documentation, detailing, permit acquisition, and construction observation of new construction and large scale remodelling throughout the west including the San Francisco Bay Area, the Napa and Sonoma Valleys, and the Lake Tahoe Basin.
Selecting an architect for your project design is the first and perhaps most challenging decision new clients face. My professional goal is to create a positive team environment between client, architect and contractor to evaluate, synthesize and realize the desires of my clients.
