Our Company
With more than 40 years of experience, our team puts our heart and soul into every project we design. We are with you step by step throughout the process, from initial discussion to final construction.
We can meet with you in any way that works best for you – in person, via Zoom or immersive virtual reality. We have on-staff interior designers, or we can work with someone you choose. We make sure your custom home is exactly what you dreamt your home could be.
We strive to create the best possible architectural designs for our clients, using our creativity and artistry to make these designs special, sustainable, noteworthy and timeless.
Our founder is NCARB certified and a Registered Architect in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Colorado, Arizona, Montana and Florida. We’ve created sought-after homes for clients across North America and can work with you wherever you are located.​​​
Our Process
We’re one of few firms that can design in your presence. Through hand-drawn sketches, 3D sketches or using state-of-the-art 3D software to communicate our design, we are with you step by step. We never go radio silent; we prefer to meet once a week for process check-ins.
Because we are designing in 3D, our clients can, from anywhere, jump into their project in VR to be completely immersed in their design.
Most of our clients communicate their ideas with us using 3D imagery – magazine clippings, Pinterest, Houzz. This is why we consider it important to show our design solutions in 3D.
Both our creativity and our communication give you a tailored architectural experience, so your home comes to life during the design process and is completely visualized long before a builder breaks ground.
We believe 3D visualization is the clearest way to communicate with our clients as well as the best way to communicate with builders. While we still communicate with builders with the typical 2D drawings and specifications, we now use 3D representations to aid the construction process. This saves time, costs and potential issues.​​
Sustainability and Biophilic Design
We naturally integrate sustainable design principles as part of our standard workflow. It is our duty as Architects to reduce negative environmental impacts whenever we can. We work to inform our clients the best solutions to achieve this within their budget and design scope.
We also inform our clients the best way to optimize their building design’s performance with respect to energy consumption.
Wherever possible, we design picture-perfect views to the outdoors or bring nature indoors using natural materials – stone wood water and natural greenery. Being able to experience the natural world in your day-to-day life is a key feature we design into all of our projects for the health and wellbeing of our clients.
