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

• Have you ever had windows and doors not turn out the way you wanted them to?

• Have you ever had the builder and window company not deliver ceiling and floor transitions to windows and doors that you wanted for your clients?

• Do you need the most up-to-date information on hurricane rated window & door systems and architectural details?

• Do you need to know the maximum sizes you can design for to maximize glass and minimize structural steel and frames?

• Do you need help designing for pocketing sliding doors?

A modern luxury custom home has so many details that have to come together perfectly, and construction in the Hurricane Zone is constrained by the sizes and configurations each product has been tested to by each manufacturer. Concrete shell construction has almost no tolerance for error. 3-5 month lead times to order windows and doors before shell construction means that if anything was overlooked, the finished project is botched.

I can provide expert consulting on most manufacturers’ hurricane rated window and door systems that are suitable for luxury residential architecture without a “selling agenda”.

• Technical expertise on maximum sizes and configurations

• Mixing multiple manufacturers' where that provides the best overall solution

• Slab step and recesses for minimal interior and exterior flooring transitions

• Flush door sill options with and without water rating

• Glass energy performance and daylighting

• Planning for “perfect” interior and exterior ceiling transitions

• Providing CAD details and coordinating with structure and finishes
