This craftsman style home in Westby was a true team effort, beginning with a client with elevated tastes who had a strong vision for her new home.  I served as the primary architect through much of the design process, as we worked through many different concepts to find the right one.  Architect Ralph  (Chip) Rorem advised throughout as well as making the home sing with the design of exterior and interior details and custom cabinets and millwork for a period-appropriate and highly customized end result.  

My client was involved as well, selecting paint colors, tile, countertops, light fixtures, plumbing fixtures as well as designing the pattern of the wall tile in the mud / laundry room.  Her furniture, carpets and art collection work together with the design of the home to create a cohesive and harmonious whole.  It was a real privilege to be involved with this project.
