Custom & Vacation Homes
Custom & Vacation Homes
My first independent project was a vacation home for my parents in Sister Bay, Wisconsin. It was the recipient of the prestigious Residential Honor Award from the American Institute of Architects. Since then, I have designed vacation homes in Iowa, Illinois, and Michigan. All of my Custom & Vacation Homes are "Story Formed". Each has a unique story that reflects their owner's lifestyle. I do not design with a "Signature Style", but together we develop a storyline for your project. This ensures you get the home of your dreams.
