Capitalizing on 30 years of experience, Gary has built GE Architecture through exceptional work and award-winning designs. We get to know our clients, understand their lifestyles, and design their ideal homes or properties. We are involved in the entire design process, and we stay involved throughout construction, until their project is finished.

A.  What Makes GE Architecture Unique

All of GE Architecture’s designs are one-of-a-kind, custom homes and buildings

• Every GE Architecture project is a signature property, and the firm never reuses or licenses its one-of a kind designs to anyone else

GE Architecture’s process is centered around developing a shared vision and delivering a positive experience

• Clients spend a lot of time with their architect, so it’s important that we get along and have a good working relationship
• We spend time getting to know our clients, listening carefully, and learning about their tastes and lifestyles
• We believe in the importance of establishing a solid rapport, creating an ongoing dialogue, and keeping clients informed

GE Architecture is committed to excellence

• We always put client interests first, we don’t cut corners, and we will recommend only service providers who are committed to excellence
• We do our homework, even before our initial client meeting, and we take the time to make sure every detail has been thought through — at every step of the way
• Gary is involved throughout the construction process and is on site on a regular basis
• Over the years, 6 prominent builders have asked GE Architecture to design their homes, and we consider this the highest compliment

As your architect, we are intimately involved in the work on client projects from start to finish, applying 30 years worth of experience and passion for design

• GE Architecture does not believe in cutting corners, and we never outsource work
• Gary, our lead architect, is involved in every step of the process, reviews every line, and considers every detail
• We keep iterating our designs, innovating, and improving as better ideas come to mind

Even before we put anything on paper, GE Architecture thinks about how to maximize the value of your project

• We pay attention to features that add value — such as closets and garages
• We also consider environmental factors such as sunsets, sunrises, and breeze directions
• We believe that good quality design with the right materials translates into better usability, energy efficiency, sustainability, and higher value

GE Architecture’s designs are extremely detailed, and every element is carefully considered

• GE Architecture’s detailed plans enable builders to provide very accurate budgets for clients, minimizing the number of surprises
• GE Architecture’s plans generally consist of 40-50 sheets with 5-6 cross-sections, showing interior views and details down to cabinet types, paint colors, and materials specifications
• No detail on the plan is arbitrarily included: “If a window is there, we’ve thought about why it’s in that particular place”
• Designers find our detailed plans very useful because our plans provide a template from which to start

GE Architecture is involved throughout the construction process: our role extends beyond design

• Gary visits the site frequently to ensure that the drawings are interpreted correctly, and the project is being built as specified
• We work closely with builders and contractors, and we believe in finding creative solutions, particularly when challenges emerge in the construction process
• We work closely with builders and subcontractors
• Our job isn’t finished until the project is complete

GE Architecture applies a creative approach to problem-solving

• When others say “it can’t be done,” we take it on
• We love to come up with “win-win solutions”
• We have had great success in particular in our work with house-moving and historic renovation projects
• We work within the complexities of building codes and environmental challenges to achieve optimal outcomes
