Is your house really custom?

I just read the article “What custom really means” by S. Claire Conroy in the April edition of Residential Architect by Hanley Wood.   I couldn’t agree more!  As a residential architect, I feel a duty to try to educate the masses about what we do.  We do not just work on multi-million dollar projects and we certainly do not just draw up some blueprints.  Design is a process.  And the truth is, every one of you can have a custom home designed for you.  Your design will be exactly what you need and want your house to be.  It doesn’t have to be a kit of parts that is good, better, or best.  It can be just as Ms. Conroy says, “Only the best of everything, by design.”
