Interesting Homes
In Greensboro High Point Salem North Carolina
We
design one-of-a-kind homes that are unique in character because we let the
client’s desires guide our creativity. We strive to design homes that are
personally satisfying for the owners because they respond to their specific
needs and dreams.
Our homes are no larger than is necessary, require minimum maintenance, are very sensitive to the features of the land, are energy efficient and comfortable by following passive solar and sustainable design principles.
A casual visitor to the city will not see my designs along the streets because most of them are hidden in woods, at the end of long driveways, or on the shores of the innumerable ponds and lakes of this area. The few homes that we built in subdivisions are usually designed for privacy and back yard views, rather than for "curb appeal".
You are welcome to visit some of my work on this Web site, even though I am very conscious of the difference between photography and actual perception of architecture.
If you like what you see, let me know. We can arrange some actual job visits and possibly design a home with you too.
In an effort to enhance the spatial experience I have introduced a few Virtual Reality spherical 360x180 tours: They are highlighted by the VR icon.
