The Peter C. Kurth Office of Architecture and Planning, PC. specializes in the creation of unique designs for both residential and commercial projects.
The firm's designs are inspired by a combination of the diverse interests and preferences of our clients, as well as the unusual and challenging sites that have become one of the firm's trademarks.
We believe that an architectural style is not a fashionable look or "image", but the result of an exploratory process that yields inventive design solutions that are both "timeless" and yet "of the moment".
It is this process of design that we emphasize: the in-depth exploration of program and concept. This emphasis ultimately yields a thoroughly conceived design with exemplary attention to detail.
We believe that quality design results in higher values for our clients -- in terms of lifestyle, real estate equity and rentals on commercial properties.
Peter Kurth Architect's work is neither "classic modern" nor "post modern" but the result of an evolving study of architectural design yielding imaginative and trend-setting projects that appeal to a broad range of aesthetic taste.
For the past 30 years, Peter Kurth Architect has designed many houses in the "traditional" styles of the past. We have created designs that are not "copies" of period houses, but innovative adaptations that yield traditional style designs that are relevant for our clients' lifestyles of today.
The firm undertakes projects, both large and small, with an eye toward design and detail. An imaginative program, an inspiring site and/or an enthusiastic client all contribute to a spark that ignites the design process.
Peter Kurth Architect focuses on all aspects of the Architecture profession. He integrates his vision of architectural concept design with extraordinary sites creating a dramatic balance between nature and structure. Regarding residential renovations, he enjoys taking on challenging programs, creating a "Masterplan" that encompasses his clients' "wish list" ideas during the design stage. He can then break down the Project into various phases so that a client may proceed with even a modest first step of a comprehensive Masterplan.
He applies his talent to the architectural design of both residential and commercial projects and takes particular pride in designing the project from conception through completion of the detailed interiors that the firm also designs. All firm members collaborate in all areas of the project and continually refine their ideas throughout the evolution of the design.
It is the particular belief of Peter Kurth Architect that the finest architecture provides the most congenial and effective environment for those who will occupy the structure; adds value to their lives and to the site, itself; and reflects -- with great sensitivity -- who they are as well as what they do.
The process of design, approvals, permits and construction can be confusing and frustrating, but Peter Kurth Architect can expertly and painlessly guide you through that process and help you reach your programmatic goals.
