Architectural Philosophy

To build with Sollenberger Partners is to embark upon a unique design and building process unlike any design process you have experienced before. Your journey will immerse you with unique design philosophies that will create and construct a home that both meets your needs but also compliments the environment on which your home sits.

As an architect, Dale approaches this design process as an artist and as an engineer. As you communicate your needs in a home, the artistic side begins to create a vision of the functional spaces while the engineering side integrates those needs into a highly functional, yet unique, floor plan. The natural elements of your property – sunlight, trees, water, and sloping hills – are used to accentuate the structure itself. His design strives to create a strong connection between the interior of your home with the external environment. As you look out of your bedroom window, what do you see? Where do you enjoy the morning sun? The setting sun? Your deck or patio extends what living space of your home? What design elements need to be included so that your home is calm and peaceful?

The masterful use of space (large, small, high, low), light (natural light and artificial light) and the relationship between the two promotes interest and appeal. The flow of spaces causes usability and functionality yet will be rich in architectural design. Every detail of your home fits together in harmony and must work together, from the locks on the doors to window placement to the selection of interior decorating styles to the elevation of choice. A Sollenberger home will meticulously integrate every design facet so that your home evokes a peaceful, serene response to those who enter.

Although the process of design and building may be complex, artful simplicity will be the result. A home by Sollenberger Partners welcomes you from the street and draws you inside. Your home develops as you walk through it. It emerges as you pass through the front door and into each area of the house. Only through the craft and science of Sollenberger Partners will you truly be able to build life’s dreams.
