“Give me an interesting, challenging piece of land, an informed adventurous client and I will create that unique timeless design that will bring new wonder and joy with each passing day.”
ABOUT US
With over 300 projects in Northern California our firm has become an architectural icon in the Sierra Nevada Foothills. Our designs can be easily recognized. Our structures provide attractive and distinctive environments which retain their value and remain in demand.
We help our clients to carefully craft a design which fits with their site, lifestyle and vision to create a structure of timeless beauty.
Michael and Maureen are dedicated to Auburn and the surrounding communities of the Sierra foothills and devote much of our time keeping good design and planning alive-- changing and maintaining the face of the community in a positive way.
We work to integrate the structure with the site to maximize the sun’s natural heating capabilities when you need it and minimize it when you don’t. We are experts in working with the natural terrain, capturing the local Sierra Nevada views, designing around special site features, maximizing difficult sites, and preserving existing trees. We are unafraid of experimentation and new ideas.
Our projects speak for themselves. Happy clients provide the word-of-mouth recommendations that help us continue to create great homes and enduring, timeless structures in Northern California.

We hope to work with you soon.
