Aspirations bring life to living. At Haven Design Workshop, we aspire to connect our expertise with yours to create Living and Working spaces that exceed your expectations. We aspire to integrate sustainability, community, collaborative design and your budget into every project. Clear and open communication throughout makes you an integral part of the design team, and ensures that your vision becomes the Haven you deserve. Go ahead, Aspire! With our experience in design and construction, including building our own homes, we can help you solidify your ideas and make them work within the framework of your budget and site constraints. At Haven, limits become guidelines to focus the vision, while aspiration pushes us further to achieve beautiful results.

At Haven we encourage Sustainable Design Through:

• Thoughtful site design
• Design with construction conventions
• Selection of appropriate building components
• Energy efficient solutions
• Building life cycle analysis
• Improved social and economic community

Good design requires more than aesthetic and structural decisions; it requires close collaboration with many different participants. At Haven Design Workshop, we approach each project with a cooperative mindset. Working closely with our client, their builder, land-use specialists, engineers, and permitting agencies, we go out of our way to make sure your project is designed with your vision and budget clearly in mind. Our goal is to make the entire process, from permitting to construction, go as smoothly as possible.

The workshop environment at Haven allows for an exciting mix of ideas. Openness to one another’s needs, vision and expertise makes each client, builder and consultant a successful part of your design team.

At Haven we want your project to have a positive and lasting impact on the inhabitants and those just walking by.

Our residential designs combine the privacy you desire with the interaction we all need. We consider nearby homes, site location public and private interaction, and the local building vernacular to create a home that is uniquely yours.

In multi-family projects we recognize the importance of private and personal space, but also encourage the interaction of the residents by creating integrated tenant spaces. Our housing projects consider building scale, density, access, and interaction with the community at large.

Commercial projects must consider all this and more. We help integrate your business within the community. Before we design, we look at public perception, client and employee access, the interaction with nearby buildings, and the public space the buildings create.

When you choose Haven, you are choosing an advocate who:

• Designs with your budget in mind
• Smooths out the permitting process
• Understands construction
• Helps you select the right contractor for the job
