“I have known and worked with Andrew for nearly 20 years. He is a very gifted Architect who continually strives to make his clients dreams come true while giving careful consideration to both the design and the surrounding environment. He is unmatched in his ability to see the big picture and keep his eye on the details. His creative solutions were appropriate to the market conditions and budget. He is a true leader in sustainable ideas and helped us achieve the very prestigious “LEED-H Platinum” award. We were among the first homes in the US to achieve this level of certification without any form of renewable energy. He skillfully handled complicated planning approvals with the agencies and consultants of our 500 acre resort on the Oregon Coast including the Master Plan of 200 residential units and 80,000 sq/ft. of mixed use commercial space.”

“My husband, Pratt and I are the current owners of you project, “The Mirror Pond” in Bend! We love this home and are grateful to be caring for it.”

“Andrew designed a home for us at the coast that not only demonstrated thinking that was “out of the box”, but also designed a home that thrills us every time we come through the front door. I would and will hire Andrew for our next project. My highest recommendation.” July 11, 2010

“I hired Andrew to design my ocean front beach house in Manzanita, Oregon. We worked closely together and he was able to translate my desires into a truly remarkable, one of a kind home. Andrew delivered his work on time and on budget and worked very hard to ensure that both my wife and I were happy with the final design. Andrew also did a great job screening general contractors so we had the best fit for this project. We would definitely hire Andrew again.”
Lyle Hubbard
It was fun to work with Andrew and Dana because they were such good listeners and were full of ideas and suggestions that we would never have thought about. We have our dream home and we enjoy it everyday!”
John and Monica Isbell
“We had a three acre estate on a hill overlooking east Portland. He was able to negotiate our plan through the cities environmental and design overlays in the Terwilliger curves. Great post and beam construction. Unpretentious design. One hell-of-a tough site . I’ve been told by the city ‘the most difficult site in the city’ yet he came through with design and function. The BEST!”
Kris Schade
“Andrew and Dana took our hodgepodge of ideas and turned them into a stunning beach house. We relied heavily on his knowledge and expertise as we had no prior experience in either designing or building houses. We wanted to capture the ocean view and the light and he gave us all that and much more. He listened to all our ideas and faithfully tried to implement them in the plan. He was always professional, prompt in answering emails and phone calls, kept to his timeline and stayed within our budget. His enthusiasm for our project never waned and working with him was an enjoyable and enlightening adventure. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.”
Debra Rihala
Andrew & Dana designed a terrific beach house for us taking into account our current life style & tastes. Part of the home was designed specifically for one of our hobbies of collecting carousel animals for display & we couldn’t be happier with the results. Our beautiful beach dream home is tasteful & unique.
