listening is first
The first step in designing your project is listening to you to identify the project requirements, the project goals, and the project budget and schedule. Before the first sketch is inked, we will talk extensively about what you want to accomplish with your project. By listening to you, we will develop a deeper understanding of your project goals.

listening is the key to understanding the design requirements
We think you are the expert when it comes to your building project. We actively listen to you to gather information as to what works, what may not work, and where the opportunities exist.

listening to the team
The team includes the structural engineer, and other engineers as needed. Building officials. City Planners. Neighborhood Associations. We listen to them as well, because the success of your project depends on it.



"John's trait of listening to the client and implementing the owner's wishes are not always an easy path for an architect to walk, but John handles it easily and with obvious success."
