About
As an experienced timber framer, carpenter, and project lead, Armstead has a deep understanding of building arts and science. He also cultivated a deep appreciation of architectural principles and design from studies at the San Fransisco Institute of Architecture, where he received a Bachelors of Architecture and a Masters of Ecological Design.
His career has taken him from the shores of Lake Superior to the San Fransisco bay area. Now based in Madison, Wisconsin, Armstead practices residential design with a focus on timber frames, energy efficiency, natural building, and Passive House design for projects ranging in size from intimate saunas to large-scale residences.
Most importantly, he truly enjoys working with clients to realize their vision no matter the scope or size of the project and creating plans that builders find thoughtful and comprehensive.
