On Wednesday, January 25, 2023, Dann passed away in his home with his wife and daughter at his side. Some of you may have known that Dann had been in failing health for the past year and had been diagnosed with fatty liver disease this past summer. Although we knew his days were numbered, we were hoping to have more time with him. 

You can read his obituary at https://www.brewittfuneralhome.com/obituaries/Dann-N-Batting?obId=27148837#/obituaryInfo. Information about services are also listed on that website. 

Dann has been a great mentor and boss to me over many years. He has asked that I take over his business, and we are in the process of making the transition. Under his tutelage, I have gained enough years and experience to be able to sit for the Architectural Licensure Exam. He will be greatly missed, but I hope to keep his vision and design sense alive for many more years to come.

Sincerely,
Liz Rakich

Working closely with the owner and her builder father, we have created a wonderful new modest sized home on the island of Martha’s Vineyard.

The design is basically a collection of sheds connected together to form a mostly single story home with 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths with an open living, dining, kitchen area. There is also a modest sized loft/office within the center module.

This modern design is reminiscent of some of the old fishing shanties found along the coastal areas of both Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket.

This wonderful modest sized new home will serve the owners well in the coming years.

Yes folks, we have moved – again! But this time it’s to a permanent location above our garage in beautiful Brentwood New Hampshire. Dann designed this office space to be functional and compact, and we happily moved in and got settled quickly as the space was designed for exactly what we need – because that’s what a good architect does!

Yup, we’ve done it again! Designed another lake house in a beautiful setting on Lake Winnepesaukee.

We’ve got a newer lake house under construction! Here’s our rendering.

After being located in a barn/office attached to our house for 21 years, we have moved! We sold the property at 1 Sandown Rd Chester NH and have moved the office to a renovated chicken coop (yes, you read that correctly – a chicken coop!) in East Kingston NH. We have a beautiful sunny second floor space, open floorplan with wide plank flooring. We’re going to love it here. Come check us out the next time you’re in the neighborhood! Our entrance is on the right side of the building at 14 Powwow River Rd in East Kingston NH.
