SERVICES
Mark's residential work ranges from refined to rustic, shaped around the individuality of each home and the specific needs of the people who will live in it. Every design reflects a commitment to sustainable, environmentally responsive building practices, informed by his LEED project experience and his Sustainable Homes Professional designation.
He works closely with clients through every phase of design, coordinating architecture, interior planning, landscaping, lighting, and engineering into a single cohesive process. While Mark carries much of the creative and technical weight of that process himself, the goal is always to serve as a facilitator of your vision rather than the author of it.
