Top 10 Reasons to Hire an Architect 1. An Architect can help you create and focus your dream house into a built reality. Architects see the big picture. A skilled architect can help you develop and integrate your list of requirements with the other complex factors to create a unique home just for you by prioritizing your needs. 2. An Architect is a licensed professional. Architects are educated, trained, and tested in large range of areas including aesthetic design, ergonomics, sociology, ecology, law, building codes, construction materials and technology. This breadth of knowledge allows foresight when evaluating competing requirements and restrictions. 3. An Architect will solve your problems with creative, elegant solutions. Architects are trained to make buildings both functional and beautiful. An architect will be able to show you alternatives that you might not have considered as possible. 4. An Architect is trained in communication. An architect has experience effectively communicating through written word, drawing, and verbally with the key members of project including clients, contractors, engineers, and authorities in the manner best suited to the situation. 5. An Architect has experience. Most architects consider architecture a passion more than a vocation. They draw on past experience. They are an integral part of the design/construction community with contacts in all the fields. 6. A skilled architect can make your life easier! Architects can bring pictorial suggestions to the table and assist in decisions for space planning, materials, and finishes transforming your abstract ideas into a form you can visualize. 7. An Architect is cost effective. A well-conceived, designed, and coordinated project is more economical. Changes made on paper in the design phase are much less expensive than those made during construction. 8. Architecture is a good investment. Great design sells from consumer products to cities. A well designed home has a higher resale value. 9. An Architect can make your building project environmentally friendly. Skilled architects work with the environment to create spaces that are sustainable and comply with ever demanding energy performance requirements. 10. An Architect can guide you through an entire project as your advocate. An architect will be able to assist with every aspect of a project from choosing a site, city permitting, design review board submittals, to construction administration. Whether you choose to start a project from the ground up or remodel an existing space, an architect will be able to help the project run smoothly during each stage avoiding disruptive surprises.

the single most important factor in achieving success with a project. Architectural design is a very personal process … from concept to completion.”

Hann, an Architect licensed in several states, with over 30 years of experience, strives to create design work as both sculpture and a functional living environment.

While many Architects’ design work occurs within a fairly narrow design range, Hann prefers to be known for his creative solutions involving a fairly wide range of design styles. His strength is in the diversity of his work and his ability to interpret his clients’ needs without stylistic parameters.

Every commission is unique and must meet certain criteria to satisfy a client. The process of design involves effective communication James Hann Design, AIA is “Art as Architecture and being a good listener. “Understanding where the greatest satisfaction is realizing his and meeting our clients’ needs is probably clients’ dreams.”

CLINT MILLER ARCHITECT Clint Miller AIA Principal 25428 North Bronco Trail Scottsdale, AZ 85255 clint@clintmillerarchitect.com www. clintmillerarchitect.com 480.585.3746 Can a dwelling grow from the land? Architect Clint Miller has been considering this question for over a decade. His work reflects an intricate balance of delicate detail and bold composition, melding traditional techniques and materials with contemporary design and application, resulting in the creation of some the most graceful, unique and innovative residences in the American Southwest. Clint draws inspiration from people who value the art of design in accordance with functional living space. The passion in his process is evident throughout the evolution of a project, from the first design sketches to the completed home. Unique, efficient and affordable design solutions Clintâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission is to provide the highest quality design

while maintaining respect for your needs, time and budget. His design experience is diverse, from formal Mediterranean to Contemporary, and he works with an extensive variety of building materials ranging from conventional frame to the latest high-tech blocks, including the traditional materials of adobe and rammed earth. Clint subtly combines all of these elements and experiences to create homes that redefine the common perception of livable space. Clint Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s projects have been honored in an AIA Homes of the year competition and in AIA home tours. As well his work has been featured in Phoenix Home & Garden and other note worthy publications. Recently, in March of 2010 he was honored as a Master of the Southwest by Phoenix Home and Garden.

GORDON ROGERS ARCHITECT INC AIA Gordon Rogers AIA Principal 4318 East Rancho Drive Phoenix, AZ 85018 grogers@gordonrogers.com www.gordonrogers.com

602-952-9662 Gordon Rogers Architect INC AIA creates organic, contemporary residential architecture and his designs are extant in places as far flung as the isle of Trinidad, the deserts of Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico and the tall pine country of Utah and Michigan. A recipient of the Arizona American Institute of Architects Gold Medal for Design, Rogers has garnered many awards for his creations, including ten Arizona Home of the Year. In the west and southwest, lofty ceilings manifest the open feeling of space, wide expanses of glass capture sweeping vistas and broad overhangs shield living spaces from the harsh summer sun, all

of which create an environment that embraces the terrain and outdoor lifestyle of the Sonoran Desert. In the tall pine country, spaces reflect the often wooded sites, frequently with skylights to bring light into interiors of this less than sunny region. Here, broad decks and screened porches reach out into the site to emphasize the indoor/outdoor feeling of space so prevalent in these houses. In the Caribbean, the doors are flung to the side and indoor/outdoor spaces become one. In all locations, sculptural spaces are constructed to meet each individual clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs and wishes.

We believe our surroundings give us an experience that has a powerful effect on our quality of life. This concept is a notion that Christy became aware of at an early age and it has carried through in her work ever since. She founded the boutique firm over 10 years ago, even though her residential experience working on prestigious properties began several years earlier.
