Amber Westerman Building Design

We have had the pleasure of working with Amber on multiple projects and have recommended her to others with enthusiasm. In addition to evaluating an 1850 existing house (recommending tear down), she designed innovative changes to a century farmhouse which seamlessly fit the historic character, including a bathroom upstairs, changing house entrances, and renovating kitchen. We moved a 1906 one-room schoolhouse, and she evaluated modifications we could make during restoration. And she transformed a friend’s small 2-story historic barn into a light-filled airy weekend home, a simple mid-century modern space of beauty. Amber listened carefully to our programmatic objectives and our budget restraints, and she responded creatively with practical designs that were easily understood and accomplished by our contractors. She is a woman of much talent, refreshingly collaborative, and a delight to work with.

Our home is a compilation of additions, some parts dating back to around 1860. When we found the need to add on a family room it was very important to us that the design blend into our original look. There were also some views that I had with our home that I didn't want to lose in the remodel. Our city lot does not allow much room for expansion so we were stumped on how to gain optimal square footage without losing functional yard space. Our family room is beautiful. Amber took all our wish list requests and created a room that not only is functional and spacious but looks like it has always been here. She preserved the charming views I had before and added more with windows placed in key locations. We continue to get compliments on the design and roominess of our addition. We have been able to merge the old with the new and it really works well thanks to Amber Westerman.

Amber is one of the most interesting people you will ever meet. Very creative and able to come up with many design solutions to challenging problems. She is incredible!!
