Tired of boring and soulless builder homes that were clearly designed by a man who never does laundry?
me too...
HERE'S WHY I CAN HELP with that
I'm a trained and licensed architect AND a mom who used to struggle keeping up with the laundry and keeping the mail, the toys, the carseat - you name it - off the kitchen island or dining room table.
Then my husband and I built our dream home. I designed a big laundry room with space to fold and organize, a large drop zone right inside the door so the island was kept clear for cooking and socializing...
And that's how I know that the flow and function of the home truly can make you happier.
Paying attention to how people naturally flow between rooms and tasks in their house, all of our plans keep a busy mom and her busy family in mind.
A home can be the most beautiful thing you've ever seen, but if it doesn't actually function the way you need to use it, then it will never be the right home.
Whether you're newly married, in the trenches of toddlers & teenagers, or empty nesters, family is at the heart of every design.
