A little about your project

Drawing of 26'10 South Architects client

“Every project should start with a Needs and Options review. The review Thorsten prepared gave us clarity on how to turn our new house into an open, minimalist but luxurious space for our family. He also found a unique way to create an atrium (a non-negotiable for us), without having to deal with a lengthy rezoning process. Knowing that the atrium is possible is a huge weight off our shoulders and we now have a solid plan that puts us on track to proceed with the project.”
