Meet our Licensed Architect:

Yvonne Riggie, RA, LEED AP
Yvonne Riggie, RA, LEED AP
With over 15 years of experience, Yvonne has the expertise, knowledge, and technical know-how to understand buildings and processes. She’s a problem-solver who can spot issues before they arise and has a strategic mindset to effectively see the big picture without missing the smaller details. Her talent lies in explaining complex and confusing issues in an uncomplicated, logical, human, and genuine way. But most importantly, she’s purposeful and has a true passion for making a difference and empowering homeowners to create positive change in their lives with their dream projects.

Here’s What Others Have To Say…

Working with Yvonne for the past two months has been an enlightening experience. It is truly a boon to have someone like her guiding me through the myriad of issues one encounters when going through the design, approval, and build process of a house. This process becomes more complicated when the objective is building a modern/minimalist structure on a very tight budget. Prior to reaching out to Yvonne, I had read many articles and books professing to teach how to build a modern house on a ‘shoestring’ budget. I had even contacted the architects whose works were featured in those publications, only to find out that the actual costs were much higher than what the authors had publicized.

Yvonne started by encouraging me to express my thoughts and objectives of my project and then attentively listened to all my concerns. She then proceeded to methodically guide me through each step of the process while helping me maintain the focus on the end result. To be sure, her method is slow and deliberate, but very liberating. There is no ‘magic pill’ with Yvonne – only thought-out, solid advice. She leaves no stone unturned and looks at each issue from every possible angle, often finding a new way to address and old problem, never accepting the status quo. But the most important benefit in working with Ivonne is not that she provides the answer to every question. In fact, she intentionally avoids doing this, choosing instead to challenge me to find the solution to each of the issues presented to her. This intellectual engagement makes me feel truly empowered and gives me the confidence that I will, in the end, accomplish all the goals she has helped me set.

When I sought Yvonne’s advice, she provided very detailed answers with thoughtful information, ideas, and links to additional resources. I was amazed at the response and knew then that I had found a great resource. She helped answer questions about construction costs, windows, roofs, and even affordability when shown images of houses we liked.

When we get ready to build our house, we plan to have her review the design and keep us moving in the right direction. We just wish she was closer so we could meet her and work face to face.
