Principal, Martin Reimers has
considerable experience with projects of every size. He has a long
and extensive history with residential projects including speculative
projects, highly customized homes, residential remodels/additions,
as well as multi-family projects. Residential architecture presents
many challenges and rewards as a home project has an immediate and
direct impact on an individuals life.
Commercial projects have also been
a large part of Martin’s background. Having specialized in church
design for many years, he has assisted church building committees
from initial programming, master planning, entitlements, design, and
construction to the turning over of keys. His solutions are functional,
efficient, cost effective, and appropriate for their use. Martin spends
the time to ensure the church building communicates the personality
of the congregation. Martin is skilled in office, retail, restaurants,
schools, child-care facilities, and warehousing facilities. These
projects have come to his firm as new buildings, remodels, additions
to existing facilities, and tenant improvements.Martin’s
thirteen years of experience in architecture is enhanced by eight
years spent in construction and real estate development. A common
critique of architects is their inability to understand how their
buildings are actually constructed. Martin’s knowledge of the entire
process from front to back enables consideration of the needs of other
project team members. This experience prevents frustration and saves
both time and money. Martin enjoys a positive relationship with the
contractors who build his projects. His ability to understand site
problems and offer meaningful and accurate assistance is a key ingredient
to developing and maintaining these positive associations.
