Thoughts


Inspire. Stimulate. Delight.

When we’re not designing or creating, we’re thinking. A lot. We love to think and Lisa loves to write. Here, she shares her latest musings with you.

    Gregor and Alison Norris-Baber


    In just a few weeks, our new build will be complete. Its exceeding our expectations. We can see how this home will work so well for us because Lisa listened and understood who we are and how we live. It was a total pleasure from beginning to end. We intend to build another home in the future and will be asking Lisa to work with us as our architect. We can't imagine ever working with anyone else.
