T
he talented team at Anthony Wilder Design/Build creates custom architecture with artful flair. We strive to realize the company’s vision of inspiring clients to build their dreams by delivering the ultimate design/build experience. With over 35 years’ experience in architecture and construction, the team at AWDB creates unique spaces that are decidedly different because they reflect the individuality of each client.What are your goals when embarking on a new project?
To help the client visualize and define the project; to create a design that meets the client’s needs and desires; and to provide originality and a strong design aesthetic.
What are the most important factors in the client-architect relationship?
Unequivocally, communication and trust; it is a deep, high-stakes relationship requiring a strong partnership between architect and client. The most successful relationship occurs between two effective communicators: an architect who loves what he/she does and a client who has faith in the designer.
How do you help homeowners achieve their dream home on a budget?
An architect has the ability to collaborate with clients and develop a realistic budget that respects their concerns and desires. The experienced architect can also maximize value by implementing novel ideas that are both pleasing and budget-conscious.
What shifts are you seeing in how people use their homes?
We have seen a shift away from formal living and dining rooms to more informal spaces like eat-in kitchens that are open, integrated and geared toward everyday use. We also see an increased desire for outdoor gathering spaces, often with such elements as fire pits and water features.
