Goodlife Architecture

Welcome to Good Life, where we believe that good design can come from a deep understanding of the cultural and geographical identity of the American heartland. Our mission is to fuse our experience and talents in architectural design with our love for the American heartland. We work with clients who share our passion for creating better places, from buildings and communities to neighborhoods and homes. Our services range from adaptive reuse and historic preservation to developer-driven architecture, interior design, and pre-design services. We also specialize in unique rural solutions and bespoke homes and retreats.

Our Expertise

At Good Life, we have a diverse range of expertise. We specialize in adaptive reuse and historic preservation, transforming underused historic Main Street properties into vibrant, sustainable spaces. Our team also excels in developer-driven architecture, offering creative solutions for clients who are investors, entrepreneurs, or institutional trustees. We provide comprehensive interior design services, from selecting furniture and fixtures to styling accessories. Additionally, we offer pre-design services, including investigative due-diligence, pro-forma fit tests, and marketing/fundraising imagery. Our 3D rendering capabilities allow clients to fully participate in the design process from the earliest phases.

Unique Rural Solutions

We understand the unique challenges faced by smaller communities and offer tailored solutions that consider local economic variables and cultural context. Our experience in rural Nebraska has given us a deep understanding of the needs of these communities, from designing rural housing concepts to planning downtown revitalization strategies. We also employ resilient design practices to ensure that our solutions are sustainable and effective.

Bespoke Homes and Retreats

For clients who seek to create a well-crafted, thoughtfully designed dwelling, we offer bespoke home and retreat design services. We pour our architectural skillsets and energy into helping clients design a place to live their best life. Whether it's a urban or rural setting, we strive to create spaces that reflect our clients' culture and character.
