A Home That Tells Your Story

Residential Architecture by Raleigh Architect

Thoughtful Renovations, Additions, and Custom Homes

Thoughtfully designed Renovations and New Residences that are intentional, enduring, and personal.

A home is more than a building,
it’s both a major investment and the setting for life’s most meaningful moments.

I approach that responsibility with care.
Each project is tailored to the way you live, creating spaces that feel comfortable, elegant, and familiar.

Commercial Work

As a licensed architect, I am able to provide architectural services beyond residential work. Commercial projects are taken on selectively, when the scope and design ambition aligns with the standards of care that guides my work.

From First Sketch to Finished Work

My goal is to understand not only how the spaces must function, but what will make them distinctly yours.

01
Early Clarity

A Design Study establishes the overall direction and clarifies key concepts before any major decisions are made.

02
Informed Documentation

The design is shaped by experience, precedent, and long-term value. Concise documents are created to insure the design is built as intended, within budget, and with clear direction.

03
Expert Oversight

I represent you through the entire construction process. Weekly site visits and consistent communication with the builder keeps quality high, lets us fix issues quickly, and keeps the project on track.
