A Partnership Rooted in Craft & Heritage

Maiju Stansel’s lifelong connection to design began in Vermont, where her upbringing in a construction and service-oriented family instilled both technical understanding and a commitment to client experience. A graduate of Norwich University’s pioneering Bachelor of Architecture program, she was part of its first accredited class, paving the way for architectural education in Vermont. Her early career exposed her to a diverse range of projects, from historic restorations to luxury residences, before focusing her passion on the architecture of the home. Since moving to Florida in 2001, Maiju has become an integral part of Jacksonville’s design community, serving as a commissioner on the Jacksonville Historic Planning Commission and earning the Addison Mizner Medal from the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art (ICAA) Florida Chapter for the Episcopal High School Academic Buildings.

David Case’s architectural journey began in the small towns of the Northeast, where an early appreciation for Classical and Traditional architecture shaped his lifelong pursuit of design excellence. A graduate of the University of Miami, David deepened his expertise through the Institute of Classical Architecture, earning certificates in both Classical and Traditional Architecture along with numerous design accolades. As a Principal at Richard Skinner & Associates, his work received multiple awards for historically compatible new construction, including the prestigious Addison Mizner Medal for Residential Design. His dedication to education and craftsmanship is reflected in his teaching contributions, including teaching the design of mouldings, the Tuscan & Doric orders, and Assistant in the iconic Corinthian orders. He has also participated in the Florida Chapter’s Palladio Journey & received their Pedagogy medal in 2018.

Together, Stansel & Case blend artistry, scholarship, and technical precision in every project. Their collaborative work reflects a shared belief that architecture should honor its setting, serve its inhabitants, and endure through time.
