Man sitting at a table with architectural blueprints, holding a pen, smiling.

I have intentionally focused my architectural practice on residential projects because I have found that crafting personal spaces unique to families and individuals is the most interesting, challenging, and rewarding outlet for my creativity.

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work on various project types ranging from theme park rides to multi-family apartments in dense city centers. However, nothing has excited me more than designing custom homes.

It brings me joy to help a growing family reimagine their home in a way that better fits their adapting needs, craft a new home on a parcel of land constrained by a challenging and irregular lot shape, or make the most out of a modest budget to ensure a project is the best it can be.

Building or remodeling a home is one of the biggest investments many will make, and it is my life’s pursuit to make the path from concept to completion enjoyable.

TESTIMONIALS

  • "My husband and I cannot recommend Owenn enough to our friends and family! My husband and I had never designed/remodeled or built anything before and he guided us step by step through the process. I appreciate that he got to know us as clients to make sure our build would reflect "us" and all of our wishes and addressed all of our concerns (storage, natural light and air flow being top on our list). Even though our build is technically an ADU, Owenn maximized every square inch of the space without compromising the aesthetics and functionality. Owenn worked with extremely challenging dynamics and variables--from the odd shape of the property, to the ADU size limitations and all of the City and State restrictions and he juggled the many different personalities and opinions of vendors and the clients with such professionalism! We feel like he always had our back and saw the project through to completion and are so grateful to have worked alongside him on this unique project!"

He was incredibly patient and flexible, even when we went back and forth on some decisions. His design ideas struck the perfect balance between function, budget, and style, and he stayed involved throughout the build to help with key choices. Our home was completely transformed—beyond what we ever expected—all thanks to his creativity, professionalism, and care."

  • "I worked with Owenn to design a two-story backyard ADU. He was easy to communicate with, a great listener, and knowledgeable in design, permitting, and construction. I appreciated that he took the time to explain different options and decisions from a design perspective and a building perspective and helped guide me to a finished product that meets all of my needs and looks incredible! He was prompt and professional in all of his communication and understood that I was on a budget that I needed to stick to. I am SO happy I hired Owenn and would highly recommend him to any friend or neighbor."
