A Retrofit for the Future in Fine Homebuilding, May 2014
"We were looking for an architect who had knowledge of super-insulated, energy-efficient, net-zero energy house design.
We not only found Dave to be very knowledgeable in this area, but he also was a pleasure to work with in the whole
design process.  Specifically, we needed an addition that would accommodate a rooftop solar array, at the proper angle,
and tie in to the existing house seamlessly.  Dave's design was better than we envisioned: beautiful,
functional, super energy-efficient... not just for the addition, but for the whole re-designed house.
We highly recommend Dave, and would gladly hire him again."- Bob and Wendy
