“Doing a house is so much harder than doing a skyscraper.” - Philip Johnson

I help architects, builders and owners select, specify, and detail luxury hurricane glazing systems without manufacturer or dealer bias.

After 13 years leading an elite window dealer in Miami, supplying some of the largest and most complex homes, I now work as an independent consultant to owners, architects, and contractors to simplify very expensive and complicated luxury glazing challenges.

Luxury hurricane approved windows and doors have evolved dramatically over the past decade, allowing architects to push past previous boundaries of glass and frame sizes and minimalism. Manufacturers are testing new products beyond the ability of anyone not dedicated to staying on the cutting edge to keep up and the architectural detailing challenges can be overwhelming.

- Bigger openings, more glass, smaller frames, less structural steel

- Selecting the best performing products from all available manufacturers for a custom tailored solution

- Complex pocket conditions

- Flush floor and clean ceiling transitions

- Planning for wood and stone cladding and chase walls

- Coordinating floor plans, elevations, window and door schedule, structural drawings for opening sizes for construction

- Window vendor proposal, shop drawing, and order review

- Waterproofing and water testing planning
