William saved the day when we ran into problems pulling a permit for Geothermal Heating & Cooling. He navigated the office of under ground management like a pro and we were drilling geothermal boreholes ahead of schedule!

“This is a great architectural firm to work with.”
This is a great architectural firm to work with. William was a tremendous help with inspecting some repair issues with my rear porches that needed to be corrected by city inspector orders. Work was done and a detailed drawing of the 2-story porch by William was submitted to the court and inspector. My case was then dismissed. Very thankful for his help. Will hire him again if the need arises.

“We worked with William to do significant rehab project on an older house.”
We worked with William to do significant rehab project on an older house. William joined us to tour the house before we bought it and gave us great advice regarding the condition of the house and possibilities for adding a bathroom. His plans incorporated a modern kitchen and additional bathroom while maintaining the house's character as an old foursquare. On top of that, he's a pleasure to collaborate with and helped us with tricky design choices.

“Very professional and high quality work ..”
Very professional and high quality work ... plus a pleasure to work with. I unfortunately was unable to move forward with the project, but William was professional and understanding. His design was thorough and complete - something that could be built directly off of with perfect clarity. Would recommend

William helped my husband and I work through the process of planning a home extension. We were totally new to navigating building codes and structural parameters. William walked us through each detail with patience while never losing sight of the program and the sorts of aesthetic questions that will ultimately determine the success of the build.

I have known and worked with William for a few years now his attention to detail has always impressed me. What makes him exceptional in my book is the attention he gives to his clients.
