I specialize in finding solutions when space and budget are limited, often finding ways to add desired additional living space in situations where it was previously not believed possible. I maximize the volume and functionality of your space and property with innovative design. Clients have noticed the extra attention given to creating a design that addresses their personalities and specific wish lists in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible. In addition to 20 years of residential architectural experience, I have specialized in custom and semi-custom cabinet layout and design and learned structural drafting and layout directly from California engineers. I am able to take your project from schematic design to completion of construction documents and coordinate directly with your general contractor and local architect or engineer of record when a stamp is required for permit.

Architects questions, answered by experts

While Craftsman-style houses are bungalows, cottages typically aren’t, though they can be. But they also differ in other stylistic aspects. For instance, cottages usually have simpler designs and painted woodwork.

The biggest upside to hiring an architect is that they will ensure an efficient building process without errors. They will also ensure your home is free from structural issues and that everything is up to building code. Many permitting agencies require architects to draw construction plans and layouts before working, so hiring an architect will also ensure your project is legal. Additionally, architects help homeowners have a clear idea of their project details before the project starts. Hence, they help unify all parties on a shared vision for the project.

Building a house without blueprints is not advised. It will prevent you from obtaining necessary building permits and meeting building codes and is likely to result in shoddy construction and unsafe living conditions. Detailed blueprints ensure that a house is built to exact specifications and is constructed safely and structurally stable.

The essential difference between an architect and an engineer is that architects typically focus more on the aesthetic design of buildings, although not without consideration for the structural integrity of the building. Engineers focus more on the structural, technical, and practical aspects of whether and how an architectural design can be built as drawn. You may need to hire both types of professionals if you’re designing and building a new home.

Structural engineers draw structural plans, which include detailed drawings of the structural components of a home only. Complete house plans will require additional work from an architect or draftsperson, whose drawings will take the structural drawings into account. They’ll also include more details about the finishing materials and layout of a home, including everything from roofing and flooring materials to the position of furniture, light fixtures, switches, and plumbing fixtures.
