DOUGLAS R. SCHOTLAND
Voted Best Architect by Princeton Town Topics Readers.
VERSED IN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN, HISTORY, AND BUILDING SCIENCE, WE EXCEL AT HARMONIZING THE OLD WITH THE NEW. Our award-winning team seamlessly merges building science expertise with extensive knowledge of the American architectural tradition to create beautiful, timeless, high-performance homes that suit modern life. Whether we are renovating or enlarging a vintage home or designing a historically inspired new one, we work with meticulous attention to detail. Moreover, we believe that the finished house should looks as though it’s always been there. Our buildings are designed to withstand the rigors of climate change and enhance our clients' lives for many years to come.
"A wise old owl lived in an oak. The more he saw the less he spoke. The less he spoke the more he heard. Why can't we all be like that bird?"
WE BEGIN BY FORGING A CONNECTION WITH OUR CLIENTS. We believe that you can never underestimate the importance of being a good listener. So we ask lots of questions, because knowing a bit about you helps us help you. For example: What do you need and value in your spaces? What do you like (and dislike) about your current house? Can you describe your routine on a typical day? Tell us about your family and lifestyle...
WE ARE COMMITTED TO STRONG CLIENT ADVOCACY—FROM START TO FINISH. We understand that many of our clients are unfamiliar with—or simply too busy to deal with—the intricacies of the design and construction processes. As experienced architects, we strive to educate our clients, help them to make the best decisions, guide them through the various project phases, visit the project site during the construction phase, and generally look out for their interests. Above all, we do our best to make the entire experience as enjoyable and stress-free as possible.
AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE DESIGNING YOUR HOME. It should be a place of comfort and beauty that inspires you every day. One that reflects your unique personality, lifestyle, and dreams. One of enduring quality to be enjoyed for generations. A place where memories are made.
