ABOUT ME

portrait of Ben from Ben Norkin Architecture

I love helping people turn their wants and needs into an actionable plan for getting their ideas built. I love space planning a renovation, addition or new home. I love helping you pick colors and finishes and helping your builder figure out the difficult construction details. I love being a part of turning your house into the home you want it to be.

 

To learn more about me personally, the magnificent play of masses brought together in light and what it is architects actually do, check out my About Me page.
