Where Do You Want to Live?

Countryside (image 1)

Out from the edge of town, Large Family Homes or cozy Cottages on acreage; farms and vacation getaways can be designed to take full advantage of the natural landscape. The best of America's rural architecture can enhance the countryside and create a welcoming oasis.
Neighborhood (images 2 & 3)
The building blocks of cities and towns, well planned neighborhoods old and new become the perfect setting for Large Family Homes or quaint Cottages. Homes designed in the classic American styles of the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries. Designed for a variety of incomes and stations in life. Whether a young couple's first home, a move-up home for a growing or extended family, or a place to retire, true neighborhoods are a place for all the live, work, and play.
In Town (images 4 & 5)
The vibrant centers of great American towns were always the place to meet, shop, eat, and work and play. Streets of large and small brick Row Houses and Town Homes a block from the town square offered a great place to call home. No need to jump into the car for daily needs. Walking to work, to pick up something at a local shop, or go out for dinner at a neigborhood restaurant makes for a much more productive and pleasant day that sitting in traffic. In town, the Live/Work building provide for the ultimate non-commute (just walk downstairs), and Apartment Mansion provides affordable, elegant living where the action is.

As America's towns grew into cities, we developed our own unique style for office buildings, civic buildings, parks, plazas, and the civic art that makes city living so attractive.
