Working collaboratively with owners, builders and other design disciplines to make our house their home.

Paul’s new houses employ vernacular forms and open floor plans, while his remodels seamlessly blend the positive attributes of old and new. Paul favors a residential architecture less interested in itself and more resembling the people who live in it. Each project being different, yet still familiar.

Paul has been published extensively in various home journals and has new homes featured in the books Farmhouse: New Inspiration for the Classic American Home, The Simple Home and Not So Big Remodeling all published by Taunton Press.

Recently an empty nester, Paul enjoys more time with his wife and pursuing certain sport, geological and archaelogical leisures.
