My goal as an architect is to create an aesthetically pleasing environment that meets the functional needs of my clients within their stated budget. I guide my clients through all phases of their project, from design and legal considerations to approvals, bids, negotiations and construction, to meet this goal.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The American Institute of Architects web site offers information that can help you get started. The best way to begin a new project is for you--the owner--to reflect on what you bring to it: knowledge, experience, needs, desires, aspirations, and personal opinions.

1. What activities do you expect to house in the project? Do you have specific ideas on how to translate these activities into specific spaces and square footage areas?
2. Has a site been established, or will this decision also be a subject of discussion with the architect and others?
3. Have you and those with whom you are talking fixed a construction schedule and budget?
4. What are your design aspirations?
5. What are your overall expectations for the project? What are your motivations, both basic and high-minded, and what role does this project play in achieving your overall goals?
6. How do you make decisions? Will a single person sign off on decisions? Do you have a building committee?
7. How much information do you need to make decisions?
8. Where will the resources come from to create and operate this project?
9. How much experience do you have in design and construction? Have you done this before? If so, where have you been most successful, and where were you disappointed?
