‘Handcrafted’ Philosophy: Steve Clipp believes that just as it is possible to handcraft a fine table, it is possible to handcraft a fine home. Handcrafted home design involves drawing on paper, to preserve the direct connection between the brain and the hand. Every line laid down has meaning and there is time for contemplation of that meaning. Handcrafting often involves the building of a physical model, to discover the subtle relationships between structure and context that make a home visually stand out. Handcrafting allows for experimentation with new materials such as AAC block and different philosophies such as Feng Shui. Finally, just as in a fine table that receives multiple hand sandings, it involves multiple re-evaluations to hone each space and each view into the best it can be. The quiet, expert contemplation of your home is the most valuable service the Architect renders. Each home Steve Clipp creates is a unique opportunity for magic to occur; for the exterior to be an evocative picture, matching the Owner’s dreams; for the interior to be infused with light and for the spaces to wonderingly flow one into another. It is an opportunity for functional needs to be raised into joys, and for the discovery of that special nook, that Juliet balcony which lives on in our memory of home. Handcrafted does not mean more costly. A well-designed has more clarity of concept and more economy of materials. The same construction effort is used but there is more intrinsic value created, and thus a higher resale return. Steve Clipp believes value for the money is an integral part of a well-crafted home.
