Shamburger Architectural Group
The Firm
Wayland Shamburger brings a sense of history and tradition to his mountain-based and resort oriented designs. The architectural firm specializes in high-end custom residential creations, adolescent inspiring camp architecture, renovations to existing sites and homes, multi-living projects and custom homes on a fixed budget. Each project and each building influence how we work, live and play. They should provide comfort, give security and foster the idea of renewal and conservation. These buildings should work within a practical response to reality and budget, but they should also transcend time and fixed styles.
Wayland believes that today more than ever the budget is to be respected and one of the most important factors in any design. Every project has one and every good architect will create a greatest value to what is spent. It is the ethical responsibility of the architect to work for the client and the client’s greatest investment. Wayland also strives to create within each project that not only gives back to the client financially but even more importantly gives back to the emotional soul of each client a home they can yearn to get back to each time they leave. Wayland believes that good design is a unique synthesis of client input, site to climate details and an understanding of structure, materials, space and light. Working from the inside out and in response to the client, I develop and nurture the growth of an idea, the site and surroundings. The completed design is the culmination of the clients dreams and desires. In essence, it is a portrait of the client and results in comfortable spaces that reinforce its owners’ values. Each project is designed so that clients can settle effortlessly into their retreat, entertain their guests, enjoy their families and allow for a time and place for private moments together.

The Vision
For our current generation, this time is like no other that we have experienced. All forms of work and creation have changed. The thought of investment for the future has totally changed and how that relates to real estate has become what once was the safest investment now unknown. How that relates to architecture, however is even more important than ever. I do understand this need and relationship. As the dollars we spend become less valuable each day. As your architect, I must create value through creation of an environment that gives back through experience and comfort.
It is this home, our shelter, our retreat that acts as an emotional healing and comforting place. It should call to us as a refuge from the daily experiences that takes away and gives back, once we again return that place we call home.
So again, it is more important than ever before to get this investment right. Make it count for more than a house or a shelter. It should be as unique as you are and be built to meet all your needs.
