We strive to utilize our knowledge and expertise to give your home the enhancement it needs. We don't live in your home, you do. You know what you like, what you desire, your lifestyle. we are simply there to bring your ideas to fruition. The story was once told of a boy who while walking along the beach, which was littered with star-fish. He methodically went to each individual star-fish and gently tossed it back into the ocean. An old man watched the boy briefly picking up and tossing star-fish back into the sea. He saw the never-ending task ahead of the boy, and went to talk with him. He kindly asked the boy what he was doing- he possibly could not make a difference to all the star-fish on the beach. The boy, looked up at the old man and quietly tossed another star-fish and simply stated “to that one I made a difference”. At Haven Architecture, we are not the perfect architect. We simply devote all our knowledge and efforts into making your home a perfect fit for you. To you, we can make a difference. After all, a home is much more than simply a roof over your head.
