I measure the success of a project by how happy you are as my client, not only with the project's outcome but also with the design process and architectural services that I provide. It is a privilege to be welcomed into your home and your life. It allows me to understand your needs and wishes fully. Together we will work closely to create a home that reflects your wishes and enhances the way you live.
Getting feedback from a client that they love their new space and that it fits their lifestyle is truly rewarding. I deeply appreciate the wonderful relationships built, as I guide each client to make their dream home a reality.
Here’s what my clients are saying about me…
“Brad is more than a brilliant creative architect. Brad has integrity and ethical and artistic values that will give you confidence and peace with your decisions. His work is both functional and beautiful!”

“We are pleased and honored to recommend our extraordinary architect, Brad. We live in a 1956 Ranch House in Boulder that was in dire need of renovation. Brad was recommended to us by friends, and after looking at his website and past projects, we were deeply enamored of his work but were afraid that such an amazing artist would be out of our league. We were so happy and fortunate to be wrong. Brad came by our house and listened carefully to understand our concerns: the lack of storage, the need for improved office space, finding a designated dining space, additional outdoor space/deck, and our desire to improve the flow of how we move through the house.
He drew up three different directions for us to consider. All of them addressed our concerns but had different scopes of work. After we chose a direction, he drew up detailed plans. His plans honored the original attributes and style of our house while managing to give the redesigned areas a modern feel. Every part of his plans was clean, balanced, and aligned. When we needed to make changes to the plans, he solved our problems patiently, making sure to find ideal solutions.
He is one of the kindest people to work with --- an architect who is humble and yet produces exquisite designs. All he ever cared about was making sure we were happy with his work. He even checked in with our contractor to make sure the work matched the design and to troubleshoot construction issues. He really took care of us during the whole process. We are beyond grateful for the experience and the beautiful end result. We should also add that his work was always on time and his charges were within his original estimates. We have referred Brad to a couple of friends who became his clients and are just as pleased as we are. We are happy to refer him to anyone looking for wonderful new or renovated space.”

“Working with Brad was a delight, and even better, we’re thrilled with the work he did for us on our new home in Boulder. We met with several architects and Brad’s vision clearly stood out from the very beginning of our project when we had nothing but the old bones of a 1963 ranch house. We completely remodeled the home (95% tear down) matching Brad’s design concept, and we’re so happy with the results. Brad was exceptionally good at listening to our interests and desires and then bringing them to a realistic, buildable set of plans. He has a unique ability to think about and attend to the smallest of details while also being capable of creating and communicating the “big picture” of the overall design. If we were to ever build another “dream home” we would definitely want to work with Brad!”

“I loved working with Brad. My wife and I were exploring a basement remodel and wanted an in-home design consultation to discuss options and limitations. I was truly impressed by Brad's wisdom and his knowledge on the matter. He provided wonderful advice and feedback on our initial ideas and also provided a simple, straightforward proposal to build out the design. He was thorough and detail-oriented. I highly recommend him as a solution for architectural design and consultation.”

“We found Brad via a website search. After the first video meeting, we already felt confident that Brad was the perfect architect for our project. He made the entire planning and design process a continuously very pleasant and positive experience. Brad is very knowledgeable, most experienced, hugely efficient, well-organized, absolutely reliable, very creative, totally honest, and entirely supportive and thoughtful of the client's (our) ideas. He was professional at all times and very patient in answering all arising questions. Brad always quickly responded to every e-mail. We can highly recommend Brad’s architectural design services to anyone in need of an amazing architect. Thank you!”
~ Luise G. & Guenter R. ~

3) Brad is a delightful human being to work with.
4) See #3.
5) See #3.
Our project was a whole-home renovation of an existing townhome, which involved rethinking all of the important spaces of the home--kitchen, living room, family room, and bathrooms. Brad's input was invaluable. Five enthusiastic stars.”

“Brad has great ideas and listened to the ideas that were important to us. Good job. I will use his services again.”
~ Matthew & Brittany C. ~
“Brad is one of the most professional service providers we have ever worked with. He designed for us a beautiful, functional kitchen that incorporated all of the features we wanted as well as some that we did not think of. He responded timely, every time we had a question and went above and beyond to address all concerns and questions we had. Brad was so pleasant to work with, we highly recommend him - we plan to use him for the next house project as well.”
~ Irena & Sam S. ~
“Brad did a wonderful job listening to our vision for our new home and bringing it to life. Not only did he nail every detail of what we wanted, but in many ways he took it to another level. We are 100% satisfied with his work and would recommend him to another looking to have a truly unique home designed. If the time ever comes when we are building another home we will without hesitation give Brad a call.”
~ Robert & Tessa S. ~
“We hired Brad to help redesign our kitchen/dining room/living room space. He came up with a design that maximized the usable space, and now every room feels bigger and more functional. The end result was amazing, and we did not stray from Brad's original plan. Whereas our original space was cramped, dark, and not very functional; the new space is the complete opposite, and we love it. Brad was great to work with, very communicative, and very creative. We will absolutely hire Brad for any future architectural needs.”

“My family and I really enjoyed working with Brad. He listened to each of our requests and was able to create our dream house, down to the last detail! Not only is he very talented and creative, but he is also a pleasure to work with!”
~ Erin & Clint F. ~
“Not only is Brad the consummate professional, he is very talented and knowledgeable of good, correct design (scale, appropriateness, etc.) that many of today's architects seem to either miss or ignore. Brad provides beautifully executed drawings/plans to his clients, in a timely manner, meeting both deadlines and more importantly the budget. This is the second project that Brad has done an outstanding job for me, and I would not hesitate to refer him to anyone, regardless of the scope of the job and style of the architecture (traditional, contemporary, etc.) that a potential client is trying to achieve.”
~ John M. & Mark S. ~
“We have enjoyed working with Brad on our project to add a carport and redesign the driveway. He has provided recommendations for subs including a surveyor and structural engineer. He has led the coordination and communication for the project, including the permit application. He has been very professional from the beginning and had to navigate a sensitive issue with our neighbors regarding the design and a mature tree. We appreciate his attention to detail and responsiveness.”
~ Marco & Amy F. ~
“Brad is truly an artist. His design for us was aesthetically forward while remaining traditionally grounded. Brad was patient and effectively guided us through the design process while carefully listening to the long laundry list of features we wanted to incorporate into the home. Because we were building as an investment to sell, he took the time to explain design details for which buyers and homeowners are trending. One of our greatest desires was to build a house with terrific curb appeal. The roofscape and exterior elevations are beautiful and engaging on all four sides. Once the drawings were complete, his plans flew through the City's arduous inspection process. The inspectors and engineers we worked with have all commented on the thoroughness and detail of our architectural drawings. There is no question, if you want a solid design with a home that is uniquely special with artistic architectural detail, Brad is the way to go.”
~ Abby & John E. ~
“Brad is so easy to work with. He’s a great listener, and his ideas are creative and doable. We built an extraordinary deck with kitchen, dining area, hot tub, and living area …thanks to Brad’s fabulous design.”
~ Melissa & Tim K. ~
“What an extraordinarily gifted architect! I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Brad as he ‘hit the mark’ on the first conceptual drawings. He listened and understood exactly what we were hoping to attain. Throughout this project, his follow-through has been unmatched. When we ‘hit a glitch’ he has been there front and center with no lag time. When there has been a need for additional drawing for an extra idea/concept, he has responded immediately. His genius has made everything come together. We are looking forward to having our new kitchen/living spaces (inside and out) where we can enjoy entertaining and sharing time with family and friends!
Thank you, Brad, for making this concept become a reality! You are a delight - mild-mannered, creative, visionary, responsive, wonderful listener, attentive to the smallest detail, ‘architect extraordinaire’ and you have become like a second son to us. Thank you for your vision, patience, advice, talent - and yes, the ‘hand-holding’ too - every step of the way. You are obviously doing what you enjoy and are on the path for which you were intended.”
~ Carter & Roy J. ~
“We have worked with Brad on several large renovations over the past few years. We have witnessed Brad, on many occasions, listen to a homeowner’s idea of what "should" be done and, with his easygoing demeanor, guide them in a much better direction taking into account both aesthetics and functionality. As a builder, working with Brad has always been a collaboration - between design and the unknown obstacles that present themselves along the way on any remodeling project. While Brad will seek to hold true to his design intent, he is equally understanding of the realities of existing conditions and budgets, always seeking the best solution for the client. If you are considering engaging an architect for a project I strongly recommend you consider Brad.”

“The best decision I made was contracting Brad’s architectural services for my in-law suite/basement build. Thanks to Brad’s vision, my mother has a calming, comforting, and inviting space that’s beautiful and completely transformed. It’s no longer a basement, it’s truly a tranquil living space that my mother absolutely loves. I don’t believe there are words that can express my gratitude for Brad’s commitment and exquisite work. He is a superb architect, and I thank him for creating a space in my home that I and my mom enjoy!”
~ Valrie G. ~
“Brad did a great job by giving us options for increasing and decreasing the scope of our remodel. He was a good listener and worked well with our builder and other independent contractors to create the best version of what we envisioned. We especially love the front porch that we added. It looks like it has always been a part of our home and improves the flow of the interior rooms as well. He is very easy to communicate with and is prompt with his responses. He could be depended upon to be present when needed. My husband and I are very happy to recommend Brad.”
