How We Design

Our Philosophy

These days, everyone’s a “custom builder.”  But unlike most, we don’t work from stock floorplans and blueprints – we start from scratch every time, creating a design just to fit you. We do that through a process that focuses on you…your tastes…your life.

We design a one-of-a-kind home that wraps itself around you, giving you smart space in a seamless flow for comfortable living.  With your help, we add style – inside and out – to represent your personality and enhance your identity. We bring function and form together in a sustainable, energy efficient design that reflects your needs and wants.

We work closely with our clients, creating a special team with you as the star. You get lots of access, lots of input on design, lots of choices on materials – it’s your home. We add our creativity to your dreams to make sure it fits you. back to top

Our Process

Our process takes you from dream to design to reality.

We start you with a binder full of questions, covering everything from your hobbies to your eating patterns, from boot racks to bookshelves. Then we sit down and talk about it all before we work on a conceptual design: floor plans, elevation drawings, site plan.

Once we’ve agreed on the conceptual design, we put together a preliminary budget and start the construction drawings. You get to review the drawings as they progress and when you’ve approved them, we take care of the permits for you.

Your job is to start choosing the finishing materials you want, and we’ll help you through that with a list of valued suppliers and design suggestions if you want them. Throughout the process, we’re available to meet, answer your questions, and explain things whenever you need us.
