H(olistic) LEVEL

Like the word LEVEL that can be read front and back depending on how you look at the word, so is our attitude to architecture. It is not one-directional or linear. Our approach to architecture is holistic. We do not distinguish between architecture, landscape design, interior design and sustainability when we work on a project. The different design levels intersect and become one and will be looked at as a whole.

    Testimonials

    Michael Silverstein

    Homeowner

    “What a team. This is  a case of husband and wife working together to create art, visual candy and life. HLevel took an ugly Old Naples bungalow and made it magnificent. They blew off the roof, added a magnificent master suite, opened up the light, re-configured the kitchen, added a bedroom and made it fabulous. It has street stopper eye appeal and more. Call me for a reference.”

     

    Jack Donlan
