We Are Architects In Buffalo New York:Inspiring & Refining Your Built Environment, Wherever You Are |
"After months of looking at home plans online and
in books, we knew what we wanted, but there were no plans out there
that included all our wants and needs in the design style we wanted.
When I first talked to David, I knew he was the right architect to
design our home. He listened to us and put our ideas on paper. He
was great to work with. We now have the home of our dreams."

Universal Design For Your HomeUniversally designed homes are not just for aging adults or those with disabilities, but for all potential users of the house. Many able bodied adults are starting to incorporate features of universal design in their new house plans or in an addition / renovation to an existing structure.
If you plan on remodelling / expanding an existing house or building
a new home, consider the following design options...
Advanced Insulation
New residential energy codes requiring more than R-13 cavity insulation at the exterior walls of new home
designs can be achieved with XPS board insulation at
the outside face of your structural sheathing. This will provide a
continuous thermal barrier, unlike cavity insulation which is broken
at each stud. While R-19 cavity insulation will
meet current energy codes, future changes will
likely require continuous board insulation because of its
superior performance over a longer period of time.
