Thoughtful Designs - Practical Solutions

Beautiful Designs don’t get built without balancing all the factors that go into a home build - function, budget, schedule, market. That’s true Architecture.

What our Clients are Saying

“In the 12 years in the real estate / construction industry I have worked with dozens of really talented architects but Ordinary Architecture has been by far my favorite to work with. They are professional, efficient, creative and most importantly deliver on time. They understand the needs of real estate investors better than any other architects I have worked with and are able to identify what will make a project stand out while staying on budget. I highly recommend Ordinary as an architect and consultant and will hire them again!”

— Greg - Sandpoint, ID

“I will say that I am blown away by my experience with Ordinary’s architectural mastery on our build! I’ve worked with a bunch of architects and they by far separate themselves from the pack. There’s a lot of impostors out there, and Iterations was able to keep up with a very high-speed project, do iterations on the fly with us, and overall a pleasure to work with. We both tapped into some new areas on the building side as I was heavily focused on creating a performance build. The fact that we were able to go from initial conversation to framing in 30-ish days was unbelievable. They’re 5 star in my opinion!”

— Vin - Stowe, VT

“Ordinary was able to bring our dreams for our house into a realistic vision, and the final result ended up being more stunning than we could have imagined.”

— Kevin - Takoma Park, MD
