“If you have a strong idea that incorporates the client’s vision with the site, the rest will come quickly. Most importantly, before you lay the first line on paper, you need to come up with the most aggressive, forward-thinking idea you can. If you do it right, the ‘big idea’ never changes. That’s success.”

That statement exemplifies our company’s mission; architecture is not defined or expressed by any individual component, rather it is the incorporation of all the components to work as a whole. Since each of our clients’ needs are unique, we discovered that a successful project starts with a time proven process. CoA works closely with each client to establish definitions, needs and expectations. It is through this thorough process that we are able to integrate their personality and lifestyle into their home. A custom home should be a reflection of the owner and not the architect, rather the intent of the design direction must be carried throughout the home in the manner that fulfills the vision of the entire design team. Over all, the process involves constant and open communication to make sure all concerns and needs are addressed. The character of the architecture then is conceived through this collaboration of our vision with the client’s interest in mind. The building’s forms are carefully explored and revisited to create a final composition that fits naturally within the context of the building and the site. CoA takes great pride in the amount of research we undertake on all our projects to ensure the traditional designs are historically consistent in form, proportion and detail. The final product is expertly composed to work within the site, client’s needs and budget. Furthermore, we are committed to provide a level of design and customer service that exceed our client’s expectation.
