INTRODUCTION: The work we proudly illustrate
herein is a record of projects designed in a 21 year period. Most of our
Florida homes are designed for level sites but in the last several years we
have been creating houses on irregular topography in California, Maryland,
New York, Ohio, Delaware, Moscow, etc. You will find various styles ranging
from Greco-Roman villas, Venetian style Palazzi,
Modern movement, Renaissance classicism, French chateaux, English Manor,
Beaux
Arts, Art Deco, Frank Lloyd Wright, Ultra-Contemporary, Mediterranean Revival,
Exotic Palm Beach, Beaux-arts, Baroque, Neo Classical, Middle East, and
more. Each project was custom designed for a unique individual/family and
site. Each client has specifications that arise from peculiar situations:
background, interests, regional influence, site conditions, present and
projected economic conditions, etc. Each project begins as a vision and
evolves naturally. We invite you to dream here and be inspired to commence
the Design Process. Our custom home design services are available from
Schematic design only or through Permit Set, specifications, and Interior Design. We also offer a limited
number of plans that have been pre-designed in order to quick-start the
design process (and save some time and money). To view floor plans, please
contact us to set an appointment.
