OUR STORY

OUR STORY

We decided to call ourselves Method Architecture Studio because we have a method to each part of our process. Our combined 20 years of experience in construction and design give us the background and confidence to tackle any design feat. From high end residential homes to light commercial structures, we enjoy taking on new styles, ambitions and designs all the time.

Method Architecture Studio brings sustainable and energy efficient knowledge, ideas and techniques to each project, knowing that the built environment has the ability to make the world a better place.  Each individual project has distinct goals and is set on an individual site, Method Architecture Studio works with each client to decide what techniques are right for them and their project.  We appreciate that our clients face a constant challenge in balancing the cost of quality design with end project value. Method Architectural Studio addresses this challenge from the onset with cost transparency and creative solutions that place your core values at the forefront of the project.

PETE HEINTZELMAN MEET OUR ARCHITECT

Pete Heintzelman, the founder of Method Architecture Studio, has more than 20 years’ experience in the design and construction industry.  He has worked on projects from coast to coast ranging in scope and scale.  Some of his most recent and best known work is on the shores of New York’s beautiful Finger Lakes. When you meet him, you’ll understand what type of person he truly is; which is a kind, determined and extremely (but modest) individual. He’s one of those people who are doing what they’re destined to do. He reads this world through the eyes of an artist and can then create custom home designs that meld your vision with the benefits of nature’s energy and beautiful functionality.

Currently, Pete spends his time in his Stowe, VT studio working on a versatile range of projects including custom single family homes, restaurants, breweries and retail shops.  Pete’s attention to detail and personalized client relationships elevate each particular project to an exciting and pleasing work of architecture.  When Pete is not in the studio, he is enjoying all that life has to offer with his wife, Carrie, and sons, Connor and Gavin.  He feels that his best work is complimented by time retreating to the outdoors in feet of snow or head high waves.  “My work is a lifestyle and it’s always ongoing.  Creating interesting spaces come from experiencing them first”.

CARRIE HEINTZELMAN MEET OUR INTERIOR DESIGNER

Carrie brings an awesome collaborative energy to our studio that gives Method many more facets to offer. Her passion is design + the way in which people live. Once the initial schematic design is completed, Carrie comes in to bring the “feel” of the home to life inside and out. She assists our clients in selecting everything from exterior finishes to the whole interior design of the home. She and Pete continue to collaborate throughout the home design process, creating a smooth and thoughtful transition into the building phase. Without her assistance, clients can begin to feel overwhelmed with all the decisions that comprise to make a home feel like home. Carrie thrives on organizing this process so our clients are supported in making sound decisions. She also directs all of MAS’s marketing efforts of our website, Houzz and local publications in Vermont.

While supporting Method Architecture Studio, Carrie is gainfully employed as a “rad” Mom. Carrie and Pete’s sons, Connor & Gavin, both frequent the work environment, be it at the kitchen table or our local office in Stowe. She balances the challenges of this ever-changing life by spending time mountain biking, snowboarding, cross country skiing and practicing or teaching yoga. She’ll love getting to know you and what our company can do to support you in finding your balance.
