Eric Sokol

Eric’s lifelong passion for building and creative thinking was sparked by the elaborate Lego settlements he concocted as a kid and has grown stronger ever since.  With over twenty years of professional experience in residential design and project management, Eric believes that from a piece of furniture to a large-scale building project, all good design starts with listening and is then nourished through collaboration.  Strong relationships with clients, as well as the builders and craftspeople who bring the ideas to life, are tantamount to the success of any project.

Eric joined Winkelman Architecture at the inception of the firm in 2007 and has designed, managed, and collaborated on numerous projects.  He enjoys working across a wide range of styles, with each design being informed by its distinct goals and surroundings.  Sites, materials, and client goals are all unique, and so each project should reflect that, and strive to unify all of those elements into beautiful, long-lasting, and comfortable structures.

When there is free time, Eric enjoys playing soccer, woodworking in his home shop, managing a sprawling music collection, and still, building the occasional Lego project with his kids.
