Your Story, Your Home
Your Story...Your Home
Your house is about your unique story.
Consider me, your Architect, as the author of your story.
Story Formed Architecture is a practice I have developed to ensure your house tells your unique story. This is done by first crafting a Story Line - an idea or concept that all the parts of your house flow from. Next, the story line is developed. I’ll guide you with your input and participation. Finally the story becomes a book (a set of blueprints) that provide for seamless construction to ensure your story is fully realized to your needs and desires.
I have been designing houses and light commercial projects for over 25 years. These small projects are the mainstay of my practice. Your project is not considered “filler” work, but something I am personally passionate about. As a Sole Practitioner, your project is guaranteed all of my expertise on every aspect of your project. This assures the highest level of professional care on all aspects of your project.

A Good Home Tells A Story
“A Good Novel must have a good story line. It needs to be interesting, inspiring, concise and complete.”
My approach to design for houses and light commercial buildings is to start with a strong concept or storyline. In a good story there are no random chapters, paragraphs or sentences as the novel is holistic-everything relates back to the storyline. Good Architecture is holistic too. This means the floorplans, elevations, sections, and details all relate back to the storyline or concept. Like a good novel, the storyline is developed first and the rest follow suit.
​
The process of designing a house is like writing a novel. Beginning with the storyline, the author will compose the various chapters of the novel. Authors don’t simply start writing from beginning to end and publish a first draft. Instead, the chapters are refined as the beginning, middle and end are developed. This is also true for the architectural design process. The elements - plans, sections, elevations – are developed and refined always relating back to the storyline or concept.
