" I have personally known and worked with Damien for over ten years. Being an architect myself, but practicing in another realm of the profession, I could not have picked a more perfect person to design my personal residence. Damien was able to articulate his design ideas while incorporating the technical aspects of the building enclosure that I focus on in my everyday architectural practice. He has the innate ability to communicate a diverse array of architectural styles and truly understood how to create livable spaces within my budgetary and square footage parameters. In my experience, Damien affords his clients the opportunity to experience the design, in advance of construction, through his use of 3-dimensional modeling programs. Being able to visualize the scale and day-lighting of proposed spaces, on both the interior and exterior of my house, was one of my favorite parts of the working with Damien. I would definitely recommend DLB Designs to prospective clients and am proud to stand alongside him in a community of our peers."

Lumber from an existing mill was salvaged and re-purposed throughout, from pine beams above the dining area, to a fireplace mantel design.  The home captures sweeping vistas of the creek and provides countless views from all the main living and sleeping space.  When I get a chance to design a home on a beautiful property, I will do all I can to maximize the viewing experience.
