America’s Top 200 Residential Architects
According to Forbes, their curated list of residential architects features “the nation’s finest practitioners of the creation of ‘home’”. Wade Weissmann Architecture, a 2025 inductee to the list, collaborated with Colby Construction on the Lake Retreat home, a maximalist construction featuring traditional domestic architecture. This custom lake home showcases Weissmann’s work with natural materials and his ability to choreograph space to thrilling effect.
A Highlight of Colby’s Craftsmanship
Weissman is quoted in Forbes, saying “every place has a unique identity, with specific resources and limitations; yet the unifying element is that our clients want to stretch all possibilities of the imagination to achieve something beautiful and lasting.” This sensibility closely aligns with Colby’s own philosophy of creating timeless custom homes that fit with the distinctive personality of each client. Every Colby Construction home is unique, and we never build the same home twice.
Forbes’ annual list of top residential architects honors the best in the industry, and to be included is a remarkable achievement. The custom lake home featured in the article highlights Colby’s ability to merge luxurious living with natural surroundings, creating a space that’s as beautiful as it is functional.
