Her architectural design philosophy is holistic, focusing on the desires of the client while designing a home that weaves interior spaces, exterior spaces, and neighborhood style.

Lori follows the "Not So Big House" concept of design by Sarah Susanka and "A Pattern Language" by Christopher Alexander.
Where to start....
If you plan on remodeling or building a new home it may be difficult to know where to start. There are many steps in the design process, but one of the first steps is to evaluate your current living situation. An Information Style Sheet is helpful in this process. It asks you basic questions about how you and your family use your current home. What do you like about your home? What doesn't work for you? What rooms are never used? What rooms do you spend most of your time in? Is your garage used for storing everything but your car? These are some of the important questions that will help you and your designer understand your needs.
The Callahan HouseThe Callahan House is an example of a house with character designed and built on a tight budget. The Callahan's are a family oriented couple and wanted a house designed for family functions.
