We believe a house should be unique and designed to fit your personal lifestyle, and that it should be designed the old-fashioned way, with a pencil. The process is simple and time-honored. You tell us what you want and wish for, what your dreams are, we translate that into schematic sketches, hand drawn in the traditional manner, which illustrate the design in plan and elevation. These sketches, stylized to create the particular look and feel you're searching for, are the framework for all the steps to follow! They are imbedded with the design clues that will serve as guidelines for subsequent working and technical drawings for construction and then carry through to the final house completion.

Mark has designed many fine houses exactly this way. If you would like to see more sketches, we can send you our poster depicting over ninety of his hand drawn house design elevations. Most of them are built in Colorado, where Mark is a Registered Architect. There are also homes on the Pacific coastline, on the East coast, in the desert Southwest, in the mountains and plains and other places that Mark has sketched for clients across the country. Mark was selected as one of 8 of the best architects and design professionals from across the country to compete in 2007 Traditional Building Design Challenge the in Boston, tasked to design a new "old" house in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Drawing by hand on the exhibit hall floor, with 4000 attendees watching the process, Mark garnered second place with these 2007 Traditional Building Design Challenge sketches of this grand new house in the Shingle Style that originated in this area in the 1890's  Contact us with the Request For Information and we'll help you to begin creating your dream home.
