Our Values
Why clients choose us
There are countless architects and contractors to choose from. Here’s what sets us apart.
Honesty & Integrity
We don’t overpromise. We set realistic expectations, give you our honest opinion when you ask, and only work with trades who share these values.
It’s All About You
Knowledge and creativity mean nothing if we don’t deliver what you want. Our job is to turn your dreams and goals into reality.
Single Source
We provide both architecture and construction, so one firm takes full responsibility for your project. No finger-pointing between architect and builder.
Knowledge
Decades of experience, plus ongoing courses on the latest technology, green building methods, and design for aging in place.
Creativity
Award-winning design and creative solutions that turn what we know into something that makes you say “wow.”
Attention to Detail
Every inch counts, from moldings and lighting to outlet placement, with precise dimensions so everything fits.
Design + Build
Design and construction under one roof
When the same firm designs and builds your project, nothing gets lost between the plans and the job site. Our architects, interior designer, and construction team work together from day one, and we take full responsibility for the entire project.
Client Reviews
Don’t just take our word for it
Michael Menn was extremely professional and courteous from Day 1. He came up with creative ideas to remodel our Master Bath and Closet Area that no one else came up with.
I hired Michael Menn 3 times… Michael is a true professional who listens to his customer.
Michael himself is affable and easy to communicate with. From our first meeting we felt comfortable with his presentation of the firm and their design/build process.
Let’s bring your space to life.
