Sam Marts Architects & Planners

Thoughtful planning and design eliminates wasted energies and insures that a structure becomes the building it was intended to be. While the primary use of a building is to provide shelter, the art of architecture is to make the time spent in the space of the structure a positive experience. Sam Marts Architects & Planners has over the years worked with seven (and counting) different wineries. A timber frame structure makes an excellent choice for a winery facility. Timber frames are efficient structures in that enclose large open spaces.

We at Sam Marts Architects and Planners Ltd. are committed to working closely with you to develop ideas, meet needs, and work within budgets. We approach each project thoughtfully, always considering the possible benefits of innovative solutions. In order to test our own theories about construction details and affordability, we have designed, built, and sold two single-family housing prototypes. The individual experiences of the professionals here enable our firm to serve a wide range of clients.

We are a group of architects. It is our professional belief that sustainable and energy efficient buildings can be achieved with a common sense approach to design. Designed buildings should co-exist with the built environment by taking advantage of the characteristics of the neighborhood and by using straight-forward, familiar materials. Therefore, we offer custom design and construction services to clients on an individual basis. Our interest lies in offering planning and architectural services to individuals and developers who wish to plan and build in a responsible yet economical manner.
