My wife and I hired Asher to design an "age-in-place" home for us on a beautiful hillside lot in Larimer County. David and team did an excellent job, designing the features, details, and size, that we wanted while creating a home that will fit into our new neighborhood and can be built at the price we desired. Asher listened to our feedback and incorporated our wishes into home design. We have never built a home before so truly appreciated the expertise from Asher navigating HOA and building code requirements, working with surveyors, engineers and our builder. Our home is now under construction
