"There is a magic in beautiful buildings which exercises an irresistible influence over the minds of men" -- Benjamin Disraeli

INTRODUCTION: The work we proudly illustrate herein is a record of projects designed in a 21 year period.  Most of our Florida homes are designed for level sites but in the last several years we have been creating houses on irregular topography in California, Maryland, New York, Ohio, Delaware, Moscow, etc.  You will find various styles ranging from Greco-Roman villas, Venetian style Palazzi,  Modern movement, Renaissance classicism, French chateaux, English Manor, Beaux Arts, Art Deco, Frank Lloyd Wright, Ultra-Contemporary, Mediterranean Revival, Exotic Palm Beach, Beaux-arts, Baroque, Neo Classical, Middle East, and more.  Each project was custom designed for a unique individual/family and site.  Each client has specifications that arise from peculiar situations: background, interests, regional influence, site conditions, present and projected economic conditions, etc.  Each project begins as a vision and evolves naturally.  We invite you to dream here and be inspired to commence the Design Process.  Our custom home design services are available from Schematic design only or through Permit Set, specifications, and Interior Design. We also offer a limited number of plans that have been pre-designed in order to quick-start the design process (and save some time and money).  To view floor plans, please contact us to set an appointment. See 4 pages of these homes starting here.  We will also be showcasing associate designer's work in the coming months.

Austin, Texas Villa - Angel Bay

Inspired by Russian Renaissance Classicism, in 8,500 SF

"Muriel and I have found what I am not ashamed to call our dream house. It is like a fine painting. You buy it with your heart, not your head. You don't ask how much was the paint, how much was the canvas. You look at it and you say "it is beautiful -- I want it." And, if it cost a few more pennies, you pay it and gladly, because you love it and you can't measure things you love in dollars and cents."

"Maybe there are some things you should buy with your heart. Maybe those are the things that really count."
