 LifeStyle Magazine Features QMA Project
Linwood, New Jersey, April/May
2004 – QMA
Design+Build, LLC was featured in LifeStyle Magazine
for our design and construction of a water-oriented
home in Ocean City. While large, the home was designed
to be low maintenance, with a cozy feel. It was designed,
not only as the owners’ retirement home, but
also as a gathering place for their family.
The homeowners specified two
criteria for their shore home. “The kitchen and dining room have
to be open. Not one big room, but open to the effect
that it can fit about twenty-five people for dinner.
The other, a sweeping stairway with lots of banisters
to hang Christmas stockings.” The home was
also designed with an elaborate bar for entertaining,
five bedrooms, and four and a half baths.
The outside of the house is painted in a traditional
Victorian yellow and blue palette, and is surrounded
by landscaped paths, secluded seating areas, a garden
and natural pool with a waterfall. Inside, the home
features a reverse living floor plan where the main
living areas, such as the dining and great rooms,
are placed on the second floor to maximize the view
of the marina.
The home also features a whole house sound system,
computerized weather station, low maintenance siding,
and other modern features that allow the vacation
home to be easy to operate and maintain.

Magazine
Linwood, New Jersey, January

LLC was recently recognized by Builder/Architect magazine
for our comprehensive designs and attentive client
relations. Homes designed by QMA are budgeted
for each client’s needs and built with only
pleasant surprises. As founder Todd Miller explained, “We

our clients’ tastes, lifestyles, and needs,
our design team is capable of creating a home that
accurately reflects the family that will live in
it. Todd believes that “Our buildings are more
about our customers—instead of us.” That
is why each home designed by QMA is unique.
