Services
We are a husband and wife architecture firm based on the Illinois - Wisconsin border. Our clients seek high-end residential architectural design with our unique combination of construction and architecture expertise. With 15+ years designing and building houses and residential additions, we understand budgets and construction costs.
We will provide 2-3 meetings, perform site measurements, create existing drawings, and generate some preliminary concepts. We perform a thorough Zoning Analysis that will answer all of these questions. Before beginning any design, the analysis will determine all of the unique zoning regulations that pertain to your building site.
New homes, also called custom homes or new construction are ground-up new construction designed around your lifestyle. Typically these houses are built on vacant land. They may also replace an old house. We believe in holistic design; great architecture is more than plopping four walls and a roof on an empty lot.
If this is the type of project you are considering, make sure you have an architect on-board from the beginning. We've fixed many houses where additions or renovations have gone wrong. A poorly planned addition or renovation will negatively impact your home value. Not mention, what a waste of time and money!
Let's face it, people judge a book by its cover. That hole in the wall restaurant with amazing food that's always busy is an exception to the rule and really more of a great story than a reality. We want the businesses that we frequent to match our style. We want to dine in places with amazing architecture and interior design.

Just finished working with Mike on our new construction lake/mountain summer cabin. Our finished product is beyond what we could have imagined. We had been using a different architect but he wasn't "getting it", so we met with Mike and knew from the first meeting that he was who we wanted to work with. His attention to detail brought a whole other level of "wow" to our project. He listened to our needs and wants, kindly put up with our may changes and in the end, both the interior and exterior are perfect. We will absolutely use Mike for any architectural needs that we have going forward.

I asked Mike to draw plans for rehab of an investment property I was working on and he did a great job. Because of my schedule I wasn't able to meet him in person but we connected seamlessly via phone and email and he was able to quickly and effectively develop the plans i needed. I will definitely call on him in the future. Thanks Mike!

Mike is very professional, easy to work with, listened to us and gave us some great ideas. He explained the process and got back together with us quickly with several options for our home remodel project. We highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for an architect. We will use his service in the future.
