Hines Design

My design approach is to listen to the wants and needs of the client/s and meld them with the topography of the site. I am reluctant to use a design “style” that is not first developed with the understanding of the owner’s vision and time spent at the site. What grows of this relationship is a truly unique piece of architecture that brings the built environment to the natural one. I am an active member of the Ridgway community by sitting on the Planning and Zoning commission, teaching mountain biking to children, and parenting the activities of my own two children. It is not only the beautiful surroundings of the San Juan Mountains that draws people to our area, but the connections to the people made in these small communities of the Western Slope. The architecture of the area is as varied as those that live here, and as a designer I continue to grow and change with it.
