Caswell Daitch Architects

At Caswell Daitch Architects we believe that Architecture is much more than building. As Frank Lloyd Wright once said “I believe a house is more a home by being a work of art.” It is this artful shaping of space, not merely the materialization of a structure, that we pride ourselves in. We believe that good architecture has the potential to lighten our environment and better our lives. Our attention to detail allows us to create homes that are both personal sanctuaries and a reflection of the client upon the world.

We, as architects, really have the opportunity to make lives better, because of this powerful art of shaping space. Architecture is not about adding square footage, it's about making the people who live in a house love to be there. I think that Caswell Daitch Architects is somewhat like a research doctor for a house, We develop theories about how to combat certain typical house "health problems." Through our education in architectural history, we have seen so many more solutions to these problems than the typical person has - so we know which solutions have worked well and which ones haven't; which ones are expensive or which ones are not so expensive. Sometimes, with small budgets, this means making one really great room that you love so much, that you hardly ever leave it. Sometimes, it means that you do a face-lift to the house, so that it feels more like home. Sometimes, it means building a sunroom that ties into a beautiful garden, so that you feel like you are outside when you are inside. We try to develop what procedures are most effective for each house type and homeowners benefit from that vast knowledge and experience.
