“Rick Burt is the finest architect with whom I have ever worked. Rick provided the best design and teamwork in my experience. [I]t started with the confidence we had in Rick’s design and continued on to his ability to work through communications issues with us, the construction manager, and others.” H.R.

“I really appreciated Rick’s ability to synthesize in a concise manner what was often a wide-ranging conversation. He helped keep the focus without directing the discussion. Rick’s ability to keep track of all the little things and to make sure they became part of the building was an important part of our project’s success.” L.S.

“This process was new for all of us, and perhaps what was most reassuring was Rick’s ability to listen to us carefully. What we needed, what we wanted, and any changes (very few) we felt strongly about were accommodated. It was a true collaboration- and a happy one.” J.O.

“This house is really an exemplar of thoughtful design, with almost every feature serving both as form and function. While one’s impressed with the overall impact of the house at first glance, it takes a while to see how astutely you’ve combined materials that offer interesting and convenient living spaces in combination.” D.H.

“Thank you for translating my words into a design that will become the embodiment of how I want to live. Thank you for adapting each iteration to shifting constraints, to needs and wants, and to my evolving sense of space and aesthetics. Most of all, thank you for somehow capturing ME—my personality, my values, my spirit—in your vision for this beautiful, nurturing home.” D.K.
