me responsible for designing the floor plans and elevations . Since then , we have achieved many milestones , one of which was when a client approached me to design and build their home in Sunriver . Subsequently , one of my designs was recognized as the Best in Show on the Tour of Homes , marking another significant moment in Pacwest ’ s history . This recognition led to a fruitful partnership with Steve VanSant , who was hailed as one of the best designers in our market . Steve had been working independently for 20 years before we joined forces and established a design and build firm . By 2006 , Steve began taking on less work as he was headed towards retirement , which prompted us to hire Architect and Owner , Spencer Williams , as well as Blair Davis , who specializes in design .
Embracing the design-build business model has been especially important to us , ensuring consistency in our finished products and branding ,” he begins .
On that note , Spencer reflects on Pacwest ’ s win of the 2022 Excellence Award for Architect of the Year . “ Winning this award meant a lot to us , particularly because it was bestowed upon us by our peers and others in the industry . Throughout the years , we have received many accolades for the homes we have showcased on the Central Oregon Builders Association Tour of Homes . While the styles of these homes have evolved over time , we have consistently maintained a high level of quality in design , construction , interior finish , and landscaping , which the judges seemed to appreciate ,” he enlightens .
