"Architecture encompasses everything from commercial building complexes to a small home addition. It is not only for the wealthy. Whatever your project, working with an architect can save you time and expense. Your project will be aesthetically pleasing, functional, efficient and environmentally responsible. Good design gives value to any project beyond 'bricks and mortar.' Architects are trained problem-solvers and work creatively and efficiently to satisfy the needs and expectations of the client."

"Good design, whether a new building, an addition or "face lift," can increase the value of your project. An existing building may take on a whole new look with even modest architectural modifications."

Villanova, PA

A 7,000 sq/ft addition to an architecturally significant house designed in 1921 by Mellor, Meigs & Howe, nationally known architects of the early 20th century.  The challenge was to incorporate an existing, awkwardly-positioned in-ground pool into an addition to the main house.  Existing stables were converted to guest quarters, offices and a workout area and connected to the new pool/hot tub enclosure.
