For over 20 years, Brian Phipps of A Phipps Design has used this approach and a proficiency in CAD (Computer Aided Design) to successfully design spectacular homes. His award-winning designs occupy the resort areas of North Carolina, Florida's prestigious east coast cities, including Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach, and Florida's west coast from Naples to Tarpon Springs. Because of his extensive experience with grand homes averaging more than 4,000 square feet, he is on the forefront of the construction trend of replacing residences built in the 1960s or '70s with new homes more in proportion with the value and beauty of their surroundings. Many of these new homes reflect the style and distinction of Florida's east coast architecture and the changing lifestyles of their owners.

Phipps provides clients with as much or as little assistance as needed in selecting and dealing with builders, subcontractors or interior designers. "Sometimes, the grandeur of a home with more than 4,000 square feet can be overwhelming, especially if clients have never owned a home of that size before," says Phipps. "Our clients often need the guidance of an experienced professional who can deal with the intricacies and details of coordinating all aspects of design."
