Transforming your project from idea into reality is a journey with many complexities.

  • Your building must be and do several different things. You need all the important parts, pieces, and requirements to fit together into one cohesive whole.
  • Getting this done on time really matters. You need realistic time estimates and a schedule you can count on.
  • You want the most bang for your buck. Your budget needs to be allocated to give you the highest and best result possible.
  • You deserve quality. The final product should be something you're really proud of, that makes you feel like your investment of time, energy, and resources was very well spent.

Hi, I'm Stewart and for over forty years I've worked with clients to provide personalized, pragmatic solutions to site, design, permitting, and construction challenges.

 

My team and I walk with our clients step-by-step, listening to their needs and working collaboratively to create win-win situations for all involved.

I believe that as an architect my highest responsibility is to be an advocate for your best interests. 

I trust you to know what you want. My job is simply to help you translate your project goals into reality as easily and effectively as possible.

“When I was looking for architects, Stewart wasn’t the only one I called. But, he was the only one who answered back that same day. And, he’s working with us very quickly too. Everything has been within a couple of days. Stewart is very responsive along with very knowledgeable. So far, there’s been no problems at all. It just feels a little more personal because it’s like we’re working on a project together rather than he’s doing something for me.”
— Youssef Fakih, Sesame Donuts
 
 
“Stewart was recommended by my contractor to take over a project from another architect who was having difficulty with the permitting process. Every expectation I had was exceeded. Stewart definitely knows how to get the job done and his knowledge, skill and experience with the process are enormous. ”
— Greg Slausen, Passport Photo
