The core principles of architecture have remained intact for thousands of years and are inseparable elements in our architectural endeavors:
BEAUTY: The work should delight and raise spirits. DURABILITY: The work should be robust. UTILITY: The work should be useful and function well for the people using it.

Designed to "fit the neighborhood", we borrowed architectural cues from traditional bungalows to adorn a modern, space-efficient, 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath floor plan. Maximizing usable space, minimizing cost by adapting to site constraints is our forte. With a 40' deep garage (4-car garage), this space can also be a traditional 2 car garage with a large shop.
