Nathan Good Architects

We began working with Nathan on designing our dream retirement home on the Oregon Coast in mid-2014. Of course we had ideas of what type of home we wanted but knew that they were not really a fit for the lot that we owned. Nathan listened to our ideas and gently and skillfully steered us towards a design that tastefully incorporated them (or the concept behind them) while also honoring the lot, the view and the environment. We were living out-of-state at the time but Nathan and his team made the long distance process work efficiently. On-line design reviews greatly helped convey detailed information in both directions and facilitated quick resolution of any issues as they arose. We only used Nathan and his team for the initial and detailed design phases, and drafting of detailed construction/permit plans. However, they worked well with our builder of choice on issues and design modification suggestions to make sure our vision would be successfully executed. Nathan was as absolute delight to work with and his team was knowledgeable and professional in all regards.

Nathan and staff designed our second home in Manzanita Oregon. Working with him and his staff was a pleasure. He listened to what we wanted and designed a home that we love to spend time in. And we did it at a great distance--we live in Atlanta, Ga, he worked out of Salem Oregon and the house was on the coast of Oregon--It all went smoothly. Because of his interest in being green, our home is very energy efficient; I can't recall an electric bill above $100 in any month in the 8 years we have been there. We would do it all over again!
