Notes on Design, Craft, and Building a Home That Lasts

Fifteen years of designing homes has taught me that the questions people are afraid to ask are usually the most important ones. What does this actually cost. How long will it really take. Will I still love it in ten years.

This is where I answer them. Honestly, and without the mystique that so much of my industry hides behind. You will find writing here on renovation and remodelling in Atlanta, on choosing materials that age well rather than photograph well, and on the small decisions that separate a house from a home.
