Welcome to Chris La Shorne Architecture
Designing a building or residence today is not what it used to be. It's not just about bricks and mortar. It also includes understanding the nuances of today's building codes, Americans with Disabilities Act, Sustainable/Green Building solutions, and a good knowledge of innovations in materials and construction techniques.I will carefully listen to you to be able to interpret the vision of what you want for your project. I will not only account for your present needs, but will also ask the right questions about your future.
As I am a sole practitioner, I can custom tailor my services and assemble the right mix of consultants required to be able to provide the most cost effective design services possible. You will not have to communicate through a large design office to get your questions and concerns heard. I am the draftsman, project architect, designer, and principal in charge.
This greatly simplifies and speeds the design and construction process through as few sources as possible.
With my 30 years experience, I have become a trained problem solver, able to assist you in making smart educated decisions. Through two-dimensional and three-dimensional drawings, and face-to-face meetings, I will develop and clearly communicate the concepts for your project. When you select me as the architect for your project, you are taking the first step toward ensuring your building investment will produce a strong return and reflect your personality and lifestyle.
I can represent you and your interests in all dealings with your contractor and building officials. I can help you get the most out of your construction budget. I will assist you as early as when you are selecting and developing your site. After your project is built, I will help you manage your building and facilitate growth, changes, and maintenance.
