Michael Bird is the founder and principal of Adirondack Design. The firm was established in 1986 with the ideal of preserving, enhancing, and continuing the tradition of Adirondack architecture which began over a century ago. We believe indigenous Adirondack architecture, sometimes referred to as "The Great Camp Style", is one which harmonizes with the wilderness better than any other style. Although the term "Adirondack architecture" is synonymous with the Adirondack region of New York, it is a style which can easily be adapted to any area.

Homeownership in the Adirondacks is being priced out of reach for local working families. ACHT was created to keep a selection of Adirondack Park homes affordable for them to purchase. Through an initiative by Senator Betty Little, the State budgeted $1 Million to be used by an “Adirondack Community Housing Trust” to reduce the cost of home purchases for families making up to 120% of area median income. Resale limitations on the property require that future sales of these homes be controlled by ACHT so that they will be passed on to other income-qualified families at affordable prices. ACHT is incorporated as an independent not-for-profit corporation with board members drawn from various communities of the Park.

Selling and/or buying a home is a major transition in life. Whether this transition is pre-determined or last minute I can help plan, the sometimes daunting, relocation process. As a Professional Organizer, I would like to offer you this advice: 1) Be prepared before your move. Don't waste time and money moving things you no longer want. 2) Be organized from the start. Plan ahead and know where everything will go in your new home and/or business. 3) Be pro-active in marketing your home. Remember that you want to sell your home's assets, not your stuff. De-cluttering has a positive impact on potential buyers. 4) Know it is okay to ask for help. Please feel free to call or email with any questions.
