Michael D Smith Architect

I am an architect who is committed to delivering an extraordinary experience. My clients trust me to provide the home they want to love and live in, one that is a reflection of their life and their lifestyle. Building or remodeling a home can be a delightful, creative experience. Or not. Choosing the right design professional and understanding the process – from the first sketch to entry into your finished home – can make the difference. Some architects have a strong design process, with little room for client interaction. Others, like me, encourage a collaborative effort with their client. I will use all the experience I have gained over the last 28 years to design a home that fits not only your needs but your passion for life. I am committed to making sure that the whole experience – not just your work with me, but the whole experience – is something you will enjoy. Will there be challenges along the way? - yes. But together we will anticipate most and overcome all of them. Once you discover how we can make this process pleasant and enriching every step of the way, you will know the possibility of creating a home that is a joy to live in and a process that is genuinely satisfying.
