What we do.
Residential homes, ADUs, additions, accessible design, and commercial work — across Eugene and the Willamette Valley. One architect, start to finish.
Residential
Homes shaped around how you actually live.
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.
- One architect, start to finish
- Designed for Oregon weather
- Inside and out, together
- Built to last generations
Commercial
Workplaces and retail that work as hard as you do.
I've designed retail and workplace spaces that have to earn their keep — move people, hold up to traffic, and still feel like somewhere you'd want to spend a Tuesday. Good commercial design is mostly about experience: the approach, the entry, the first ten feet. I keep it warm and specific to your brand rather than generic and safe.
- Street presence
- Brand-specific, not generic
- Built for traffic
ADU
Accessory dwelling units, permit-ready for Eugene.
Accessory dwelling units are Eugene's smartest move — for aging parents, rental income, a home office, or the kid who isn't quite ready to leave. The trick is making something small feel architecturally complete, not like a shed with insulation. I know the city's ADU rules cold, including the pre-approved Domino design that skips most of the permitting wait.
- Eugene ADU code, memorized
- Small but complete
- A pre-approved option
Accessible Design
Universal design that never reads as institutional.
Universal design, done right, is invisible — nobody walks in and thinks 'this is the accessible house.' They just notice it feels generous and easy. Wider halls, a zero-step entry, a bathroom that works now and in thirty years. I design for the whole arc of a life — aging in place, a wheelchair, or simply a house that never fights you.
- Never institutional
- Aging in place
- Whole-life flexibility
Renovation
Reworking what you have into what you need.
Some of the best projects start with a house that's almost right. I like reworking what's there — opening a dark floor plan to the light, adding the room you've always needed, honoring an old Craftsman while bringing it into this century. The hard part is knowing what to keep. I draw existing and proposed together so you can see exactly what changes and what stays.
- Honor what's there
- Additions that belong
- Light and flow
