Approach
Most of my work is houses — new homes, second homes, the one you'll retire in. I design for how a family actually moves through a day: where the light lands at breakfast, where the muddy boots go, which window you'll stand at with your morning coffee. The Willamette Valley has its own rules — rain, overcast winters, long low summer light — and a house here should answer them honestly. I stay involved from the first cup of coffee through the last punch-list walk.
What this includes
- One architect, start to finish — You work directly with me — no junior staff filtering the design.
- Designed for Oregon weather — Deep overhangs, covered entries, and materials that age well in the rain.
- Inside and out, together — Ten years in interior design means the interior and exterior are designed as one.
- Built to last generations — Durable, low-drama detailing — a house your kids could keep.

Common questions
- How much does a custom home cost in Eugene?
- Most land between $275–$450 per square foot depending on finish level and site. We talk real numbers early so the design fits your budget, not the other way around.
- How long does design take?
- Schematic through construction documents is usually 4–6 months, depending on scope and how quickly we make decisions together.
