Residential Design




















Between receiving my Bachelor's degree in Architecture from the University and Illinois and beginning my graduate studies at Miami University, I had a great opportunity to work in the field of residential design with Brady Homes. During this time I worked with Brady's head home designer, Phil Bussman, on numerous projects around Central Illinois. This experience was invaluable in my understanding of how a home goes together.




















Eventually I was placed in charge of drafting and home design for Brady's Peoria office. Some of the homes I worked on can be seen in Bloomington, Oak Creek and Hickory Grove Subdivisions in Washington, Waterford Estates, Waterford Crystals, Oakbrook Estates, and Weaver Ridge Subdivisions in Peoria, and Redbird Terrace in Metamora, among others. Before leaving Brady Homes for Miami University I put together about thirty home designs which were later used in Waterford Estates. The house shown above was used in the Parade of Homes exhibition.



















My favorite project, while with Brady Homes, was the house shown above. The family who I designed this home for had some very good ideas about what they wanted in their home. I was able to take those ideas and put them together successfully to create a unique home.
