This exquisite Santa-Barbara-style home set on 5 acres in PV was a very special "pet-project" for the homeowners. While the young couple don't yet have kids, they do have 4 dogs, goats, chickens, ducks and geese and are actively involved in a fostering neglected pregnant dogs! Together Mark C & Meredith Thomson, along with interior designer Wendy Black, contractor John Schultz and landscape designer Jeff Berghoff, created a home for the whole menagerie that was beautiful, comfortable and eclectic - just want the clients wanted.

Dear to an Architect's Heart
Iconic Magazine's Holiday issue features a Family Farmhouse we designed in the heart of Arcadia. Principal Meredith Thomson was chosen to design this dream home as she has known the clients for many years, the client's sister was Meredith's best friend growing up, hence the title "Dear to an Architect's Heart".

An English-Country Style Estate is Reborn
Growing up in Central Phoenix, this home had always caught the eye of future homeowner Alex Stark. Years later, she married builder Rick Stark of Starion Custom Residences and they purchased this historical home from 1947. While a lot of work was needed, they wanted to keep as many original materials and details as possible. So the Starks together with Architect Meredith Thomson reconfigured the floor plan, raised the ceilings, added a pool, a covered patio and a detached garage to transform this historic cottage into a fabulous family home for generations to come!
