Custom Home Design

Designing a custom home is about more than creating floor plans—it’s about translating your lifestyle, values, and vision into a space that feels uniquely yours. As designers, we see every project as an opportunity to blend creativity with functionality, balancing aesthetics with the way you truly want to live. From the first sketch to the final detail, our goal is to design a home that not only reflects your style but also enhances your everyday life.

Multifamily Homes

​Designing multi-family housing requires a careful balance of functionality, comfort, and efficiency — all while meeting complex building code and zoning requirements. Our team has experience creating thoughtful designs for duplexes, townhomes, apartments, and mixed-use buildings that enhance livability and long-term value. From site planning and unit layouts to permit drawings and coordination with consultants, we ensure every aspect of your project is handled with precision. Our goal is to deliver designs that are both technically sound and welcoming places for people to call home.

Spec Houses

Additions and renovations offer the opportunity to reimagine your home—updating it to better fit your lifestyle while preserving the character you already love. As designers, we approach these projects with care, finding ways to seamlessly blend the old with the new. Whether it’s expanding your living space, improving functionality, or refreshing the look and feel of your home, our goal is to design changes that feel intentional, cohesive, and tailored to the way you live.

Accessory Buildings & Carriage Houses

Accessory buildings and carriage houses are a chance to create purposeful spaces that expand the way you use your property. As designers, we see these projects as an opportunity to merge function with character—whether it’s a rental suite, studio, workshop, or guest space. Thoughtful design ensures these structures feel cohesive with your home while serving their own unique role, enhancing both the practicality and value of your property.

Our Design Process

Our Architectural Design Process is organized into four distinct phases, guiding your project seamlessly from the first concept to the final construction documents. Beyond design, we remain actively involved during construction, offering permit assistance and maintaining clear communication with both clients and contractors to ensure a smooth and successful build.

Preliminary Planning

Every project begins with understanding your vision. In this stage, we meet to discuss your goals, budget, and timeline, while reviewing any site information you may already have. This step ensures a clear foundation for the design process moving forward.

Preliminary Design

We review site conditions, take measurements, and begin exploring design possibilities through initial 2D and 3D options. During this phase, we gather your preferences for style, function, and layout, and present basic floor plans, elevations, and sections for your review.

Design Development

Based on your feedback, we refine the preliminary plans with more detailed space planning and requested changes. Drawings at this stage include fully dimensioned and tagged floor plans, all exterior elevations, cross-sections, and a site plan, as needed.

Once the design is finalized, we prepare the complete set of Construction Documents required for permits and building. These may include:

  • Siteplan and Development Data

  • Foundation Plan

  • Exterior Perspectives

  • Interior Perspectives

  • Floor Plans

  • Seismic Bracing Plans + Calculations

  • Building Sections
