Kurt Lavenson

After discovering that he preferred construction to working inside an architect’s office, Kurt Lavenson spent 15 years as a designer/builder in the San Francisco Bay area. He gradually transitioned into a solo architecture practice (www.lavensondesign.com). Working out of his home has provided Kurt with some firsthand insights on how home offices can best serve their users.

In addition to the articles below, he is the author of Making the Most of Basement Rooms from Fine Homebuilding #202, and a tip in Fine Homebuilding #61 titled Cosmetic Advice.
