Hello! My name is Paul Perlman and I am a retired structural engineer. I have spent my life thinking the psychology of architecture, informed by my experience designing, building and remodeling homes. I have been particularly inspired by the book, A Pattern Language, in designing homes that support our overall well-being. My goal with this website is not to sell house plans but, rather, to present ideas that stimulate a conversation on the larger concept of home. At Paul Perlman Designs, my focus is designing small, energy efficient, affordable homes which also provide a sense of comfort and connection—with nature, ourselves, and each other.
