Residential Architect Community

AIA Spokane & Spokane Coeur d'Alene Living magazine announce Home of Distinction feature that highlights our residential architects and their projects. 

The September issue features a unique home, designed by Wolfe Architectural Group. This custom home located in Gozzer Ranch "represents thousands of decisions, and the good custom homes are the ones in which these decisions work perfectly together. With regards to material selection, lot engagement, layout and flow, exterior entertainment space, and an all around pleasant atmosphere, this house stands out.”  The desire for a home that presents as well (and maybe even better) from the back door as it does from the front is a great reason to hire an architect".  HOD Residential Press Committee
