Customers say: Quality work

"In the spring of 2024, I started on a project to add a porch to the front of my house. Tucker gave good advice on surveying the lot before working on the design. Looking at my house and the other houses on the street, he should have realized that a $50,000 porch would not make economic sense. I wish he would have talked me in another direction. Some of the features I requested were not on the initial drawing, nor was there a description of the materials. I assumed he did not take good notes at our initial meeting. They are poor estimators of their timer requirements. Quality of drawings was good. I wish Tucker would have talked me out of a porch addition at our initial meeting. I would have been happy to pay him for the time he spent. My full review is on my blog at { removed link}"

"It went well. I was pleased with the services that they provided and the plan that they came up with. I had no trouble submitting it to the city in order to obtain a permit. They were easy to work with, even coming out on Saturday or Sunday, or the evenings - whatever worked with my schedule. They are really friendly, helpful and easy to get along with. It was a great experience and I plan to go to them for some additional work that I am planning on doing."

"Chad showed up when scheduled to give us an estimate. We had a general idea of what we wanted and tried to convey our and quot;design thoughtsand quot; to him. He was very helpful with suggestions as well, when asked. Within a day or two of his initial visit, he provided drawings and a written estimate for the work to be performed. We had gathered different estimates and his, although, not the least expensive, was the most complete, detailing costs for material/labor for each step of the process. The drawings he provided gave us assurance that he did, indeed, understand what we were looking to have done. Once we made the decision to go with his design/estimate, we provided a deposit and were put on his schedule. He began the job on time and stayed within his estimate on costs. All of his work was done as promised and done within the time frame he promised. This was especially nice because the weather was not always cooperative. Upon completion, he even came back to ensure that everything looked good to us and that we had no issues with drainage or runoff, etc. We absolutely LOVE the patio. It looks exactly as we had pictured it would. We will definitely keep him in mind for any future projects.

Our sustainable architectural services support clients that are moved by their physical and emotional surroundings and seek affordable and honest expressions of their needs. The design process seeks to push the envelope of enclosure using the tools of practical forces to create aesthetic solutions suitable for today and tomorrow's inhabitants. Each project seeks dynamic interaction with its surroundings while expressing the integrity of its construction and materials. Generally, we strive to create simple, well-articulated forms that have an enduring meaning with materials that provide lasting value and low maintenance. Each integrated, holistic design solution seeks to unify the design interests of the client to find the sweetness of life merged with their changing lifestyle.\n\n We explore together spatial alignments that benefit from established site views and provide designs that benefit from natural day lighting, natural ventilation, grid-tied solar energy, geothermal heating or cooling systems and reuse of stored grey water for site irrigation. In this context, each project compliments the surrounding community's built expressions and adapts to the technological advances that are leading our culture towards an electronically connected network of balanced living and working conditions for family growth.\n\nOn this Web site you will discover innovative designed homes of remarkable strength, economy, and beauty, brought to life by a distinct architecture combined with a source of pollution-free energy. Each built-in biosphere, in gradual but constant motion, draws energy from the sun, and /or geothermal stability from the ground, creating a temperate climate that supports the primary living spaces. These holistic design expressions below represent some of the project solutions for our clients.\n\n

Architects questions, answered by experts

Renaissance-style architecture predates Italianate architecture and serves as an inspiration for many elements of the Italianate style. Renaissance architecture adheres to the rules of classical architecture, while Italianate architecture adds elements that served to modernize the Renaissance style for the Victorian era and allow this style of home to be produced in a range of sizes to be attainable for various budgets.

Start by researching local contractors with experience in cottage construction. Ask for references, check licensing and insurance, and review completed projects. Compare multiple bids, making sure each includes the same scope of work. A good contractor will communicate clearly, provide a detailed contract, and ensure all work meets code and safety standards.

A structural engineer's report provides a professional assessment of a property's structural condition. It typically includes an evaluation of the foundation, key structural elements like roof trusses, floor joists, studs, beams, and rafters. The report will also contain a detailed description of the engineer's findings, often supported by photographs, and provide recommendations to correct any identified issues. Depending on the scope of the inspection, it might also include an assessment of property drainage, potential issues from environmental conditions like extreme weather or tree placement, and an estimated time and cost for any recommended repairs.

Costs depend on project complexity, software requirements, and the draftsperson’s experience.

Stone, marble, and brick are common building materials of Neoclassical architecture, though you will also find wood flooring and a range of natural stone tiles. Since several home styles fall under Neoclassical architects' umbrella, a range of building materials—including traditional wood framing—will make an appearance.
