Client's Ideas



Each Client has their own ideas about the type finishes and style their new home will display. A clients verbal description of their dream home holds many keys to the success of the design. Sometimes people will tell me about their ideas before they are clients, these conversations divulge many ideas and nuances that help make the new home personalized to their tastes. My design work is expressly tailored to the clients desires and wishes. Truly elegant homes have a continuity of style and consistent detailing throughout.

God is in the Details

This door is built from Redwood planks, with bronze and hammered steel hardware. The thing that makes this door interesting is: it was built for security. It is on a cabin in the mountains 25 miles from pavement.

This place was built to keep honest people honest. Behind the Redwood skin of this door is a steel plate, and on the other side of the steel plate, another redwood skin. It is the kind of door that bullets won’t penetrate and honest people could never break into. The multipoint hardware system secures the door in several locations around the door. The windows on this cabin are covered with shutters build the same way.
