    I first met Ed Barnhart when I was interviewing architects to build an eco-minded home on a sloped…read morelot just outside Philadelphia. He came across as quiet and unassuming, qualities that, at the time, led me to believe he wouldn't be edgy enough for the project. It impressed me though that, even without being offered the job, he researched the lot and township requirements, uncovering that there were restrictive building codes for the steep slope -- codes that would drastically affect the construction. He saved us from a bad purchase, and we went on to look at other potential building sites. When we did find a suitable lot and got the chance to start our project, the glitz of a large firm with adventurous eco-centric projects caught our eyes. The trendier architect gauged us at every turn, was uncommunicative, and after we signed the contract, handed our project off to associates whom we later discovered were unlicensed. Unhappy with their design, we called Ed, told him that we had a limited budget and needed to feel that we had a place in the design process. He proposed using a straight-forward AIA contract with a fair fixed fee, then held our hands through the design, permits, and building process. The design we ended up with (after his tireless revisions) has made us immeasurably proud. We found Ed to be extremely patient, humble and cooperative -- traits I've found rare in most people as highly educated and talented in this profession. He met deadlines with enthusiasm, and shouldered criticism with earnest concern and creative exploration. More than once he was able to enlighten, and change our minds about what we thought we wanted from our dream home. My husband and I instinctively trusted him, and we have not been disappointed. We found our opinions never fell on deaf ears, and our expectations were always exceeded. He has always made me feel that I was a partner in this great endeavor, and never belittled a concern. In the end I realize that our project wouldn't have been much of a home if we hadn't involved Ed.
