Philosophy

Whether we are designing a simple room addition, an elaborate custom home estate or a neighborhood commercial building, it is always our objective to create places where people can live, work or shop comfortably and efficiently. And at the same time enjoy an architectural environment that is interesting , artistic and beautiful.

This philosophy has allowed us to design residential and commercial projects of various styles, from “minimalist” modern buildings to richly detailed historically styled custom homes. Our goal for each project is to mold the functional, economic and esthetic desires of our client into an artful architectural solution. One that employs forms and materials that resonate with them, whatever the “style” of the building may be.

We are equally comfortable designing a “white box” modern structure as a French Country home, or an early California Mission Hacienda. Over the past 25 years, we have designed and built over two hundred projects of every conceivable style and size.

We do not impose any preconceptions of design upon our clients. Rather, we come to each project with an open mind and the goal of helping each client realize there dreams and vision of the “perfect” home or commercial project.

If you are considering building a custom home, a commercial building, an office or retail Tenant Improvement project, please contact us. We would be happy to discuss with you the feasibility of your project and of course there is no obligation. We can also supply more complete resumes and project references upon request. Thank you very much for taking the time to visit my web site.

Sincerely, Gary Daugherty
