“id quod visum placet”
that which pleases merely by being seen
Saint Thomas Aquinas

During my teaching career at the University level, I stressed that regardless of the style, good design is essential. Good architecture can exist in any style. The things that truly matter are:

• Order – Arrangement among parts such that proper function and appearance are achieved.
• Authenticity – Having a verifiable origin or authorship; trustworthy; genuine.
• Clarity – Plain and evident to the mind; easily perceptible; distinct; lucid.

I am proud of the work I have done and pleased to have contributed to the following neighborhoods:

I would love the opportunity to talk with you about your requirements. Please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,
