with the state of our
professions these days, go here to read what we have to suggest.

A Garden Room
Come on in, have a seat and
let's talk about your dream of having a wonderful home ...

   ●  that is custom designed and vastly different from any of today's mass produced,
       "development properties" that make up for what they lack in charm, beauty,
        warmth, livability, and quality of construction, simply by being huge and
        imposing;
   ●  that is designed and created –tailor-made in every respect– fully to meet your
       needs, your lifestyle, your living habits, your taste, and your pocketbook.  To get
       a feel for what we are talking about here, go to our Home and Garden design
       "questionnaires";
   ●  that can be of any size and come in any architectural style ranging from "Arts
       & Crafts" to "Shingles Style" and "Victorian", complete with true to its style,
       architectural detailing and decorative elements on the outside, and the warmth
       and coziness of beautiful walls (featuring wall paintings if you want), ceilings,
       and floors, on the inside;
   ●  that is embraced by a wonderful, "Live-In" Garden composed of one, or a
       series of "outdoor rooms without ceilings" with which it feels united such that
       the whole is more beautiful than the sum of its parts;
   ●  that may offer a multi-purpose, semi-interior, partially glass roofed, and plant-
       friendly, "GardenRoom sm" (cum family room) meant for living, dining, and
       entertaining, in addition to, possibly, a Deck− and/or a "RoofGarden", if
       desired;
   ●  that is "Environmentally Friendly" and "Energy Efficient" (extremely well
       Insulated and GeoThermally Heated & Cooled);
   ●  that you will be able to "Have and Enjoy for Life" regardless of your present or
       future physical condition.

Here is how we can help you make that dream come true!

In accordance with "Universal Design Principles", this website
has been designed to be easily readable at a monitor setting of
"1024 by 768 pixels" and an (Internet Explorer) browser text size of "medium".

Forgot your glasses?  No problem!  Change your monitor setting to
"800 by 600 pixels" by going to "Windows Explorer" and - sequentially -
clicking on 1)  the "+" sign in front of  "My Computer",  2) "Control Panel" and 3) "Display".  On the "Display" page, move the downward arrow to the left until the text under it reads "800 by 600 pixels".  That done, click on "OK" and you are all set to enjoy your now screen-sized display without
any horizontal scrolling!

  The International Real Estate Digest (IRED) has honored our site by giving it their The International Real Estate Digest "Spotlight" award.  Here is what the IRED had to say:  "The award which, since 1996, has been bestowed on .26% or 130 of the 50,000+ sites listed, reviewed, and evaluated by IRED puts the spotlight on those sites that are so compelling that even jaded web site reviewers bookmark them for frequent reference!  They generally meet all the highest design criteria, ease of use, aesthetics, quality of information, and usefulness, but most of all, they have compelling content.  "Spotlight" is not just a rating, it is a commendation;  a recognition of the fact that a site offers an advancement of the medium.  The Prime Location award is not for sale.  It is a purely subjective judgment on the part of IRED's staff of reviewers."
