“Tim’s greatest talent may lie in his skill at listening, and applying those thoughts to the project. I wholeheartedly recommend Tim’s services, without reservation, for anyone looking to design a house, particularly a Passive House, in our northern climate.”
Gary Konkol, Client
“Just got the gas bill – it looks like we heated the house for $33 in January. Looking back at our utility records, and accounting for the fact that we’re heating over twice the previous square footage, I’m coming up with a rough savings estimate of 85-90%. Or, put another way, the house uses 10-15% of the energy it previously did. That’s one mission accomplished.”
Paul Brazelton, Client (Passive House Retrofit)

“Working with you through the process of turning our […] ideas and suggestions into distinct floor plan options, materials considerations, and concrete design plans was quite fascinating. You helped us resolve many difficult areas of the plan for which we had been searching for a good solution, and were very responsive to our questions and requests for changes. We also appreciated your help on working with the builders to monitor the project progress, and help us finish our project within the final time frame and budget.”
