Paradigm Design is an innovative team of architectural designers dedicated to providing superior custom residential design and tenant improvement services. We practice personal architecture based fundamentally on the individual needs and desires of each client.

 In designing both new homes and home renovations, we practice “personal architecture.” By this, we mean individualized architectural design, developed through a team approach, involving not only our staff of seasoned professionals, but also the builder and especially the client. We take great pride in creating client-centered custom designs, and in resolving difficult or unusual circumstances to achieve the result best suited to the client.

Paradigm Design makes it a point not to have a signature “style", like some of our competition. Our principal, Cheryl Williamsen, stresses the client’s preferences & meeting their budget more than her own artistic expression. We regard the building not just as an abstract exercise of the designer’s technical skill, but also – indeed, primarily – as an adjunct to the client’s lifestyle and as an expression of the client’s character and values.

Furthermore, by maintaining close working relationships with home builders, we are able to understand their concerns and difficulties in the field. This connection helps us to ensure that our plans are practical and realistic. Insight derived from this relationship enables us to develop one-of-a-kind designs that are innovative and exciting, yet buildable.

Our professional goal is not to design what we ourselves would like to live or work in, but to keep the client as the focus, while we excel in working around the City's restraints & the builders' methodology. For the client, this inclusive, integrated approach results in a distinctive, well-made building that serves the manner in which the client wants to use it and meets their budget.
