HomeArchitects.com is Rand Soellner Home Architects

Online, January 7, 2010 (Newswire.com) - "We design nice homes all over the USA and also have had projects overseas," said Soellner, "We wanted the USA and the world to clearly understand what we do and what we stand for as home architects."

Soellner's firm specializes as timber frame architects, post and beam architects, mountain home architects,castle home architect, luxury residential designers, green home architects, log home architects, mansion architects, cottage architects, family estate architects and vacation house architects. The common denominator here is: home architects. Therefore, Soellner felt having his actual website address become what his company does was an appropriate clarification. "Plus it should help people remember where we are on the Internet," he added.

Soellner is a licensed architect in multiple states within the USA, his latest earning licensure in the seismic region of Washington State, while he was designing a project in the Tacoma, Gig Harbor and Seabeck Bay areas there. He feels that it is important for people to understand the advantages of hiring a real architect to design their luxury homes. He asks if you would want an elementary student engineering and building your family car? Not likely. The comparison being, people should see that their dream homes may very well be the most expensive and important investment of their lifetimes, so it warrants some investment in the quality of the actual design. "This is not a commodity people are buying," points out Soellner, "this is typically a custom, one-of-a-kind highly tailored luxury home that accommodates a client's particular detailed lifestyle and homesite, with particular views in certain directions." In other words, that kind of specialized need requires the attentions of a skilled and experienced real architect to design it correctly. Soellner mentioned that several of his recent clients have commented on wasted time and expense of using unlicensed draftspeople to try to design their dream homes, only to discover that they really do not have the skills, design experience and abilities to create high-quality custom home designs that clients want for their ultimate retirement or vacation residences. This warrants engaging a real home architect to design your house.

Soellner earned his Master's degree in Architecture years ago and is a member of the American Institute of Architects and is also certified by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards. NCARB facilitates reciprocity for licensed architects from state to state in the USA. Having someone design your home who is not a real architect is sort of like having an EMT perform a life-threatening surgery on your body. You really should entrust your structural system, HVAC system (the very air you breathe), doors and windows, roofing, waterproofing, plumbing and other "bodily" systems of what is supposed to be the best house of your life to an architect. Soellner has been designing homes since he was 15 years old and that means he has been doing this for about 4 decades. This is a significant amount of time to accumulate useful experience designing custom homes.

Being home architects has never limited the Soellner firm's abilities; Soellner's designs have been featured in books and magazines worldwide, including the recent House With A View, available through Amazon.com. This book, published by Images Publishing, features the best designs of the world's best mountain home architects. Soellner has 3 of his built home designs in the book. He is one of only a handful of American architects invited to participate. Soellner felt honored to be included.
