Devore Associates

Austin Patterson Disston Architects has happily and consistently worked with Devore Associates since 2003 on a number of residential projects. The input of both Diane Devore and her staff has been collaborative, professional and expertly designed with great attention to the client, the context of the site and the architecture. Two of the projects have been large properties, 21 acres and 9 acres, with numerous accessory buildings, all receiving Devore Associates expert design of landscape and materials. Both have been recipients of prestigious design awards. We highly recommend Devore Associates.

As a Professional Lighting Designer specializing in Luxury Residential projects, I am often brought in to illuminate these exceptional properties. I have had the honor to work with Diane and her super-capable team on dozens of such projects spanning a period of over 25 years and I am always thrilled to learn that they are on board. After her warm smile, one of the first things that becomes apparent when you meet Diane is her ease. She discusses design issues and options with an open mind and has the sure-footed confidence only achieved through years of experience. When you see the level of thought that goes into her documentation and drawings you know that every detail has been studied and elevated to it's highest form. Diane allows me lighting design freedom but always reviews my work, asks questions and requests alternative directions when she feels it necessary. I wholeheartedly endorse Devore Associates with my highest level of praise.
