"It is an organic architecture that is in tune with nature"

     Once your ideal budget is identified, you will want to meet with John Hartley to discuss what you need in a home, what you wish to have and what your ideal home would be. The home that John designs for you will take into consideration all aspects of your life and lifestyle, such as whether you are a morning person wishing for the sun to stream through the bedroom at dawn, or a night owl wanting a view of the moon.

     Next comes a visit to the available lots in our neighborhoods. Once you have selected a building lot, careful attention will be paid to siting the home on the lot for maximum privacy and views, and to satisfy the objectives on your wishlist. If you crave a large herb garden, you will want to be sure it has good access from the kitchen. If you need a dark space for a media room, the space must be designed with this in mind. When you build a Hartley home, it all begins with the land and the house evolves from it, especially for you.

     John Hartley's designs utilize natural materials, geometric shapes and unusual architectural details. Windows are creatively placed to permit the flow of light through the home. Common spaces are open, yet there are private spaces as well. View the portfolio to see examples of design features that can become uniquely yours.
