House design

Paul was the 2nd architect we hired to design our off-grid straw bale home. When the 1st proved incompetent we asked Paul (a neighbour) for advice. He came back 2 days later with a full presentation to win our business. We hired him and never looked back. He listened to our requirements and designed a house for us, to our needs and desires. As Paul says, "I don't have to live in it, you do." When there were problems he was there with solutions. When we found out that the windows were 2" too tall for the cupola Paul came up with new plans, and a new roof angle(!) at 5:30 on a Thursday afternoon. Just one of the many times he went the extra mile.

A technologically complex house like ours requires that everybody work as a team to make sure the systems all integrate. Paul maintained a level of professionalism and a lack of ego that was refreshing. He'll cheerfully admit when he doesn't know something, then he'll find the resources and come back with answers.

I highly recommend Paul to anybody looking for an architect for any project, big or small.

Company Response

Thanks Glen ... I had forgotten that the windows had arrived on-site 2" too tall for the openings that they were to fit. That was a bit of a puzzle ... but we solved it ! So happy to hear that you are still enjoying your home. As you say, it's "your home for life".
best regards,
