Home design to meet your needs and inspire your life

I create spaces that are authentic and straightforward, reinterpreting traditional residential design through contemporary proportions, details and materials. This always includes working with clients as partners to create a home that reflects their personality and lifestyle.  I'm strongly influenced by:

• Sustainable design: energy efficiency, water conservation, passive solar design, material sourcing that is local, green and/or reclaimed
• Small space living and maximizing the use of your home and property's square footage
• Creating homes that sustain you as your lifestyle changes and evolves
• Living simply with style
• Homes that connect with nature
• Livable, walk-able neighborhoods

As you consider your design project feel free to email or call me with questions.  Each project is unique and my services can be tailored to meet your specific needs. 

Fee information

Most projects are split into two phases. The design phase, where we figure out what the project is going to look like, and the the documentation phase, where I create drawings for permit and construction and apply for a building permit.

• The design phase fee is charged hourly and includes an estimate of the total anticipated fee
• The documentation phase is charged as a fixed fee

Each project is unique, so call or e-mail to find out more information about your specific project

How to get started

Email  or call to set up a complimentary phone call to go over the project you have in mind.  From there we can schedule a free consultation at my office to go over your project in more detail. If you are interested in having me visit your site to evaluate the feasibly of your project, there is a flat fee of $175 for a one hour consultation. Sites located outside of the Portland Metro area may incure additional fees.
