Design that is Personal

HausWerks believes:

• Your home should be your haven – the place that allows you to retreat from the pressures of the outside and express who you truly are.
• Your home should reflect you, your lifestyle, values and future plans.
• Your home should express your sense of style, while providing the functional efficiency to support the way YOU live, and the way your lives will change as your family grows and matures.

HausWerks spends time just getting to know each of our Client families – who they are, how they live, and how this home fits in their life plans. As Architects, our designs are personalized to each client, and never duplicated. We recognize that each family is unique, and our designs reflect a range of styles from Historic Craftsman to Japanese Modern.

Design that Respects History

Hauswerks knows that homes and home styles evolve over time, stretching to meet the needs of each successive owner. This often results in a home whose original style has been lost over the years, or one onto which an inappropriate style has been grafted to reflect a current design trend.

We look at the basics of your existing home, and thoroughly analyze how your home can be redesigned and reconfigured to meet your needs. Contrary to today’s trends, a larger home is not always the answer! Poorly planned and utilized space is just wasted, whether it is in a historic home or an ultra modern loft.

When an addition is the right answer, we craft custom solutions that are appropriate to your neighborhood – in style, scale, and proportion. We strongly believe that good design respects the needs of both you and your neighbors. Historic districts can be your greatest ally.

Design that is Budget Conscious

Finally, HausWerks respects that your home is the most personally important investment you make. Our advice and our designs always consider the value you are receiving from your investment, and the effect portions of the design may have on resale. We will work with you to get the most from your housing dollar.
