My mission is to build architecturally significant homes that celebrate the natural beauty of our Tampa Bay region while providing homebuyers with significant value for their investment.

My next project - Wallcraft House - is located at 3311 Wallcraft Avenue in the Bayshore neighborhood of South Tampa. For this project, I worked with John Thompson, fellow Tampa native and Jesuit High School classmate, and his firm, Wilder Architecture. We designed a modern colonial house for the splendid 50' by 145' parcel of land loaded with wonderful Grand Oak, Bamboo and Magnolia Trees.

Since we live in a tropical metropolis, I wanted Wallcraft House to maximize the best aspects of living in Tampa. For my inspiration, I relied on the ante-bellum, Greek Revival, Bocage Plantation, in Darrow, Louisiana.

By bridging modern elements to the traditional plantation house program, the building is a remarkable tribute to classical orders, tropical southern demands and modern points of view. It promises years of good living to its residents.
