"Every design challenge creates an opportunity for a wonderful and unique solution
~ the greater the challenge, the more creative the solution, the more wonderful the
outcome"

This is a company which strives to design beautifully detailed, cohesive, practical, functional homes, homesteads, and interiors with a sensitivity to environment and ecology. The structures and spaces should be made intuitive and supportive of the homeowner, reflective of their unique tastes, and created to connect with the circumstances of its surroundings/environment.

Heather N. Krausses Summary
My Architecture is inspired by the culmination of each project's unique set of
circumstances organically composed with a most natural balance of aesthetics and function;
it's essence enhanced by engaging the spirit of life, environment, and art.
Whether creating "Slow Living" settings or gracefully incorporating modern
convenience, my work has respectfully appreciated, embraced and celebrated the spirit and
styles of the past and the now with a vision for a sustainable future. New homes, whether
historic resproductions or contemporary modern free in form, engage a degree of nostalgia
which grounds the design in place and in heart, connecting the client through new and
inspired, yet familiar relationships.
