"...Because Doug spent many years as a successful General Contractor, he has a deep understanding of what makes a structure sound. In my Prarie-style house for example, there are 2 1/2 foot eves and the house never even creaks when the Boulder wind hits hard. And as an architect, Doug knows the ins and outs of design and style, balance, detail, color, and all those little aspects that come together to make a house work. When positioning the kitchen island for example, he knew that we needed more room than I thought to allow traffic to flow around it. By adding stone around the bar-fireplace area, he created an awe-inspiring design to accent the entire area.
I thought that sharing the hopes and dreams for "my house" with a total stranger was going to be daunting, but it was surprisingly easy with Doug. His easygoing manner made collabolration a pleasant, fruitful experience. His knowledge and insight enabled us to work off each other's ideas in a very creative interaction that led to a wonderful home." |
