I am a licensed architect with over 30 years of experience designing custom homes, vacation properties, and major residential renovations. Since 1991, I’ve built a career grounded in creativity, precision, and a deep understanding of how great architecture enhances everyday living.
I believe good architecture requires clear communication from day one to create more efficient, intentional, and inspiring outcomes. My process is rooted in collaboration, mutual respect, and a commitment to delivering homes that are as livable as they are beautiful.
Throughout my career, I’ve served in leadership roles across the AIA, Housing First Minnesota, and the National Association of Homebuilders. In civic life, I currently chair the Burnsville Planning Commission and I’m an active member of Rotary.
Personal and professional relationships are at the heart of everything I do. Clients often become long-term collaborators and friends, and I take pride in being approachable, responsive, and deeply invested in every one of my projects.

Education
Bachelor of Architecture – University of MinnesotaThroughout my career, I’ve come to realize that a home isn’t just about the way it looks; it’s about how it feels. It’s the place where your life unfolds—where you celebrate milestones, find comfort, and create memories. My passion is to help you design a home that truly reflects who you are and how you want to live.
As an architect who has worked both in design and alongside contractors, I understand what it takes to bring a vision to life. My years of experience have given me a deep appreciation for the relationship between design and construction. I know the importance of creating designs that are not only beautiful but also practical, efficient, and realistic to build. This understanding allows me to bridge the gap between creative vision and construction reality, ensuring that your dream home is both achievable and sustainable.
Whether it’s designing a custom home from scratch or reimagining a current space, I approach each project with one goal in mind: to craft a home that nurtures you, fits your lifestyle, and tells your story. I take the time to truly listen to my clients, understanding their needs and dreams, so I can create a space that feels uniquely theirs.
At Awad Architects, it’s not just about architecture—it’s about making sure the design serves you for years to come. If you’re ready to create a home that’s as unique as your story, I’d love to help bring your vision to life.
