A Good Home Tells A Story

“A Good Novel must have a good storyline. It needs to be interesting, inspiring, concise, and complete.”

My approach to design for houses and light commercial buildings is to start with a strong concept or storyline. In a good story there are no random chapters, paragraphs, or sentences as the novel is holistic-everything relates to the storyline. Good Architecture is holistic too. This means the floorplans, elevations, sections, and details all relate to the storyline or concept. Like a good novel, the storyline is developed first and the rest follow suit.

The process of designing a house is like writing a novel. Beginning with the storyline, the author will compose the various chapters of the novel. Authors don’t simply start writing from beginning to end and publish a first draft. Instead, the chapters are refined as the beginning, middle, and end are developed. This is also true for the architectural design process. The elements - plans, sections, elevations – are developed and refined always relating to the storyline or concept.​

My designs are Story Formed. By working with me, as your Architect, your house will tell your unique, inspiring story.
