What PDA offers

Whether you’re welcoming a new baby, making room for a parent, or simply fixing something that no longer works, PDA takes on residential projects at a range of scales.

  • Smaller changes

    Closets, built-ins, storage, and targeted room reconfigurations.

  • Renovations + additions

    Rethinking layouts, combining or creating rooms, and making more significant changes to an existing home.

  • New homes

    Ground-up residential projects designed around the people who will live there.

And plenty in between — these are just a few examples.

What’s included

PDA guides your project from early ideas through construction, bringing together thoughtful design, technical expertise, and hands-on support along the way.

  • Layouts, test fits, design development, and the decisions that shape how your home will look, feel, and function.

  • In-person conversations, live sketching, real-time renderings, materials, and models to develop and refine ideas together.

  • Technical drawings, contractor outreach, bid comparison, and clear guidance as you choose who will build the project.

  • Regular site visits, written updates, and coordination between you and the contractor through construction.

Not sure what’s possible yet?

For projects with more complexity or budget uncertainty, PDA offers a fixed-fee feasibility study to help clarify what’s achievable before you commit to full architecture services.


You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of the project, the possibilities, and what it may take to move forward.

What sets PDA apart

  • Direct access to your architect

    Work directly with Chris throughout your project, from the first conversation through construction.

  • A collaborative design process

    Ideas take shape through conversation, live sketching, real-time rendering, materials, and models — so you can actually participate in the design as it develops.

  • Designed for more than looks

    Layout, storage, lighting, acoustics, comfort, durability, and adaptability all factor into how your home is designed.

  • “We felt comfortable sharing ideas, asking questions, and working together to make the space feel like our own.”

    The entire process was collaborative and fun, and communication was easy. Everything went smoothly, and Chris helped at every step of the inevitable challenges that you get when doing construction. The finished space feels exactly what we wanted.

  • “We were able to truly get clarity and learn about options we didn't know were possible.”

    As a new family, finding uninterrupted time to make key life decisions feels impossible. In this consultation we got the information we needed — especially about unexpected costs associated with big changes. We would highly recommend a consultation with Chris.
