    • “Robert is an exceptional architect who consulted on my recent DIY home building project. If you’re a DIYer seeking an architect who combines creativity, practicality, and a genuine commitment not only to your project’s success but also to your personal growth, I wholeheartedly recommend Robert.

      What truly sets Robert apart is his willingness to teach and share his knowledge. I was working on the design of an energy-efficient house in an eco-village. As an inspirational teacher and a patient mentor, Robert guided me through the entire decision process of translating my vision into a practical and aesthetically pleasing blueprint with a creative personal signature.

      I didn’t want to just hire an architect to design the house for me; I was eager to learn about green building technologies and fully understand all the options. Robert recommended books, sent me links to selected videos and articles that greatly informed and educated me on the latest building sciences and materials. He listened attentively to my ideas and needs, asked thought-provoking questions, and offered insightful suggestions that enhanced the overall design. He also helped me find innovative ways to save on construction expenses without sacrificing the integrity of the design.

      Robert was willing to accompany me through the construction process, but unfortunately, my project got derailed due to personal reasons. Yet, I loved the design I received, and most importantly, I cherished the knowledge and experience I acquired by working with him.”

    • “Creative and Amazing!! Rob worked with us to redesign our three season room/deck, outdoor kitchen and patio design. It was not a small project and he assisted the whole way through county permitting and design selection! He is trustworthy and punctual and a down right nice guy! He is definitely someone you want on your team. Going to use him on our next project – in-ground pool oasis!”

    • “I posted a request for an architect to evaluate a property I was considering making an offer; Robert responded and we started on our journey. After my first report from him, I knew I had found an architect; Robert gave me thorough evaluation and I bought the building. We have been working thru the different phases and are making progress toward starting work. Robert has never missed an appointment or refused to take time to talk on the phone when I call him. I would recommend him to anyone who wants a caring and concerned architect.”
