There are only three fine arts:
Sculpture, painting, and ornamental pastry baking, of which architecture is a branch.

Richard Haeger Associates/Design and Planning is a residential design office collaborating with private clients to create well integrated, functional living environments with particular attention to openness, light and sustainability.

Whether the client’s project is a new home or an addition/remodel the objective is the same: to discover design solutions that take advantage of the natural promise of the site, interior and exterior spaces, sunlight, prevailing breezes, and view perspectives. To align with the practical needs and dreams of the client is paramount in the journey of discovering together the very best planning options, a sound energy approach and vigilance over budgetary constraints. This will inspire confidence and enthusiasm in the process, success in the outcome.

 

PHILOSOPHY

To create a unique and aesthetically satisfying living environment has been a natural pursuit of people for as long as they have been sensitive to the spirit and the practice of artistic expression. For me to collaborate in this pursuit as a designer/planner with a client is an important creative process and I love the challenge of discovering with that client not only the primary goals that will make a living environment come alive for them but also discovering and including those seemingly insignificant but essential design components that will be experienced and appreciated each day.
