Stehli Howell Design was founded by siblings, Sarah Howell and Hunt Stehli, to create sustainable and socially conscious design. SHD offers architectural design services as well as consulting in the areas of space planning, sustainable strategies, and historic preservation. Projects are produced in the 3D modeling software Revit (BIM) so that both clients and builders can visualize the end result from schematic design through construction documents. 

Sarah has a degree in Architecture and Urban Design from Yale University and has lived and worked in almost every region of the country before settling in the mountains of NC. She became an advocate for affordable sustainable housing while working for organizations such as Make It Right and Project Home Again in post-Katrina New Orleans, and teaching at Tulane School of Architecture. Sarah lives in a 100+ year-old house in the Montford Historic district of Asheville with her husband and three sons, and spends any free time she can possibly find playing and coaching ultimate frisbee.

Hunt Stehli has a Masters of Architecture from Boston Architectural College and divides his time between Maine, New Hampshire, and Northern California.
