Two decades of experience designing custom properties has allowed us to create a highly efficient process with cohesive project results. Our close coordination with building and planning departments during each phase of the project is essential to moving smoothly through the complex permitting process.

Nothing about our build was simple: the site is remote, woodsy and the house is against a hill. Christie rose to every challenge, presented us with options, was sensitive to costs and always, always kept a focus on how we would live in the house. Today we have an extraordinarily beautiful, light-filled home that embraces indoor/outdoor living and from each window the outlook is like a painting. Christie and her team are simply the best.”
