CREATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR THE SPACE YOU CALL HOME

At the heart of every remodel is the desire to increase the functional use and value of a space. Whether that space is a small apartment, a large condo, or a brand new home, every homeowner dreams of living in a place they are proud to call home.

My goal is to create sustainable, functional, and beautiful design solutions that are also budget-conscious. It might sound lofty, but I’m always up for a challenge!

PROJECT TYPES & SERVICES

I work on a variety of project types including full home gut remodels, additions, and new custom homes. The services I offer include:

As-built measurements
Construction documents
Feasibility studies (which help in figuring out codes and regulations when buying a property)
Permit processing for larger projects
Material & fixture recommendations
Project management (in Maine)

Save Money & Minimize Frustration

If you're going to build a new home from scratch, hiring a professional (like me!) will result in less wasted time and fewer mistakes during planning and construction. Plus, you’ll feel better knowing you have a professional advocate on your side when dealing with contractors, consultants, etc.

Add Value to Your Home

If you’re looking to add value to your property, there are many ways to do it, and I’m available to help you with the design, architecture, and/or consulting throughout the process. For example, converting your garage (or a spare corner of your home) into a rentable Airbnb unit is a great way to make some extra cash from your investment. Or, maybe you’re thinking of upgrading your insulation or mechanical systems to lower your monthly bills and increase the resale value of your home. Whatever your goals may be, we’ll figure out how to achieve them together.

Create a More Functional Space

Your home should cater to your lifestyle. Choosing an experienced architect or designer over a draftsperson or “in-house” designer means a more functional, efficient use of space meant just for you. We can rearrange walls to find more space you probably didn’t even realize existed. And, by using sustainable materials and systems wherever possible, we can also minimize your environmental footprint and lower your utility bills! If you’re going to spend the money, you might as well do it right.

Live in a Healthy, Sustainable, High-Performance Building

Thankfully, modern buildings are more air and weather-tight than they’ve ever been. With that comes greater energy efficiency, cheaper utility bills, and a smaller carbon footprint. But a tighter building envelope means a greater need to consider your indoor air quality. We have the opportunity to give you an incredibly healthy home. Not only that, as your building professional, I’ll consider space efficiency, passive solar heating and daylight, wind paths, and water usage. And, in case you’re wondering, a high-performance home DOES NOT have to be ridiculously expensive.

Stop Apologizing for your Home

This is everyone’s end goal... right? But seriously; have you been thinking about making your space into that dream home you’ve always imagined? Why not create a home where you can enjoy spending the whole day, and never feel like you need to get out of the house? By making your space reflect your personality and style, you can invite friends over with pride.
