Architecture That Serves Real Life
Homes Designed for Long-Term Living
We believe architecture should quietly support everyday life. The homes we design in Cheshire County, NH are practical, comfortable, and enduring—spaces shaped by how you actually live, not by trends or assumptions.
Our approach emphasizes:
- Designing spaces that feel natural and easy to use
- Making decisions based on your priorities and long-term needs
- Respecting the landscape and surrounding community
- Focusing on lasting value rather than short-term style
Good architecture doesn’t draw attention to itself—it simply works well.
In fact, the house is like living in a work of art every day, with the benefit of being functional, efficient and comfortable too…. The integration of the house into the landscape not only encourages us to enjoy the natural setting but also welcomes a rich variety of wildlife. When friends visit the house they offer fitting compliments like, “This is like living in a treehouse.”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A few things clients often ask when we first meet…
What’s it like to work with an architect for the first time?
We begin by listening. Our goal is to understand how you live, what you value, what you hope to build, and what your construction budget is—before we ever pick up a pencil. If there’s a good fit between us, the design process can be deeply engaging—even enjoyable—as we work through challenges together, including moments when you and your partner may have differing expectations.
Can you design within our budget?
Yes—and we treat that as a core responsibility. Budget conversations begin early and continue throughout the process. We work with you to balance aspiration and practicality, helping ensure that your vision aligns with financial realities.
Can you work with our builder? Or can you recommend a builder?
Absolutely. We’re happy to collaborate with any qualified builder you’ve chosen. If you’re still looking, we can recommend trusted local builders and help you compare options to find a good match for your project.
Do you design modern or traditional homes?
We don’t start with style—we start with you. Whether your leanings are modern, traditional, or somewhere in between, we help you articulate what resonates and then shape a design that reflects both your aesthetic and your spatial needs.
Do you handle zoning challenges?
Yes. Some projects require zoning approvals—especially if you’re working with a tight site, a non-conforming structure, or seeking a Special Exception. We’re experienced in helping clients prepare and present to local Zoning Boards of Adjustment (ZBAs) and navigating that process with clarity and care.
Begin with a Conversation
Every project begins with a conversation. Whether you’re exploring ideas or ready to move forward, we’re here to listen and help you take the next step toward a home that truly fits your life.
