McLaughlin & Associates Architects

An Expert Q&A with Jim McLaughlin from McLaughlin & Associates Architects

September/October 2010

CLIENTS COME TO YOU FOR… Our demonstrated ability to create award-winning designs unique to individuals throughout the Intermountain West, Southern California, Hawaii, Costa Rica and New Zealand.

YOUR DESIGN PHILOSOPHY IS… A comprehensive approach that melds our clients’ needs and desires with the surroundings, regardless of the project scope or geographic location.


YOUR STYLE IS INFLUENCED BY… Our philosophy is to not have a particular style, but rather a goal to create timeless architecture appropriate to each project’s environmental and cultural context.


THE MOST INSPIRING THING YOU'VE SEEN LATELY IS… My inspiration comes from my love of travel and the opportunity it provides for the exploration of unique solutions expressed through the vernacular architecture of a region.


EVERY HOME MUST HAVE… A “sense of place,” which gives it an identity and character that enriches one’s experience of space, light and form.


SHARE WITH US ONE OF YOUR GO-TO DESIGN RESOURCES. 

Our design resources are limitless. We have sourced products and items from all over the world for our various projects. The sky is the limit!


MAKE A DESIGN PREDICTION.

With current trends for more energy-efficient homes, I predict the homes we design and build will become more space efficient through the use of modern materials and various multi-use spaces.
