History
After eight years as a design consultant
for Silver Ridge Design in Hyde Park, Milford Cushman established his own
firm in 1989 in Stowe. That firm has been building a stellar reputation
ever since. His commitment to using environmentally sound design concepts,
such as fitting each project seamlessly into the site, ...
deepened one day
in 1997, when he was in a plane taking aerial photos of his firm´s
work. "I realized that day," Cushman says, "that we'd probably
design hundreds of projects and they would have a significant impact on
the northern Vermont landscape. I wanted to make sure we did them correctly.
Every project is a...
contributing vignette
to the big picture." That approach has earned praise from dozens of
clients and contractors. Today, The Cushman Design Group, Inc is in high
demand for its services, which include residential design for new construction
and renovation, as well as site planning and landscape design. The firm´s
talented...
group of colleagues
includes: Architects Andrew Volansky and Jay Caroli, Project Designers
Chad Forcier and Kelley Osgood, Business Manager, Nita Hultstrom, and Interior
Design Specialist Terri Gregory. Along with Milford Cushman, this group,
using a team approach to design, has developed successful, long-term...
working relationships
with many of the area´s leading contractors. "Collaboration
is supremely important," Cushman says. "We believe in our clients´ intelligence
and we believe in the intelligence of topnotch contractors as well. I´m
continually inspired by the amount of hard work, the balancing act that
really good...
contractors do. They
do jazz. And so do we. You have to be a great soloist, and also know how
to be a band and play together."*
