About Joseph Magaddino, Architect
Joseph Magaddino's personal attention, from project conception to the project end, keeps the design team focused on the goals of the client and the construction budget. This attentiveness generates grateful praise from his clients.
His innovative design process generates creative solutions to home, commercial or site development challenges, regardless of size or type of project. Responsible designing begins with thoughtful land use planning and should include a list of environmentally friendly building material options. Joseph guides his clients smoothly through the building process by his understanding of local sites and climate, material availability, construction techniques and the qualification of local builders.
Residential designs by Joseph Magaddino range from efficiency single and multi-family housing to high-end condominium developments and unique custom homes. Commercial work spans from village retail spaces to thirty thousand square foot office buildings and includes banks, schools, art galleries and government administrative offices. Magaddino Architecture designs appear in Idaho, California and across Montana.
Joseph Magaddino is on the Architectural Review Board of the Eagle Bend Golfing Community. He served on the board of directors for the Flathead Home Builders Association. As Chairman of their Community Service Committee, he coordinated Christmas in April, home repair projects for low income homeowners. He is a member of the Bigfork Chamber of Commerce.
His homes have won many awards in the annual Parade of Homes Tour. Rustic Elegance and Homestead , two residences featured in the portfolio, appear in "Timber Home Living" and "Luxury Log Home and Timber Frame" magazines in the spring and summer issues of 2005.
