Working with Pfahl Architects

It begins with a dream – a project designed and custom built for you and your lifestyle.  A unique, hand-made product that’s never been built before.

Turning your vision – from a dream to reality requires the integration of many phases, takes hundreds of steps, and involves coordinating dozens of experts, skills, and trades. That’s why the choice you make in selecting your architect and builder are so important.

At Pfahl Architects / Pfahl Custom Builders, we recognize that you don’t make the decision to build or renovate everyday.  Above all, you want to make a confident decision as to whom you will work with to make your dream a reality.  Our expertise as both architects and builders provides the integration of form and function that reflects your vision along with the construction detail and management that drives efficiency and delivers your vision.

Pfahl Architects

Pfahl Architects’ design strengths are broad, spanning all segments of residential and commercial architecture.  This includes extensive work in both new construction and renovation.

Led by Kevin and Susan Pfahl, the Pfahl design team focuses on a unique Design / Build methodology that delivers personalized design with impeccable details and high quality across a broad range of projects.  We believe that design matters.  It is integrated into our commitment to our clients for: 

• Environmental Responsibility

• Buildability

• Contextual Appropriateness

• Workability/Function

• Enduring Style

Our Dream to Reality™ process includes several proprietary design phase modules:

• The Informed Dreamer Conversation™ – in which we guide you through a description and clarification of your goals, articulate our unique process (show how we will deliver on your goals), and make sure that we establish a mutual fit.

• The F3 (Form Follows Function) Design Sequence™ – this client-focused design methodology involves five distinct phases – each helping you confidently move towards realizing your vision.

• The Preliminary Budget Review™ – we believe that when you understand the construction budget and how it is developed you are better prepared to make decisions.

We invite you to arrange an initial meeting with us (we call it The Informed Dreamer Conversation™) to learn more about our process, our work, and how we can turn your dream into a reality.  We’ll take the time to help you understand what’s involved and how we work to deliver quality, service, and value.
