Your home is a reflection of your lifestyle, personality, and family legacy. Each project we work on is designed to make you feel comfortable and proud of the home you not only live in, but thrive in.
With 14 years of experience in the industry, we can guide you through the journey of designing your timber frame home. Our deep knowledge of timber frame construction creates stunning home designs that will last centuries.
We are big believers that a little bit of curb appeal can go a long way. If your home has good bones but could use some personality or extra space, we can help turn it into a functional and delightful space for your family.
Acreage lifestyles require space to work, and space to rest. The perfect combo is the Barndominium (aka the"shouse"). This home and shop combo provides the workspace you need to keep the farm running, while still maintaining a welcoming place to call home.
Architectural Services
Our Architectural Design Services are comprehensive, covering both the creative and technical development of detailed blueprints for construction and building permit applications.
We have worked on projects of all sizes, including acreages, shops, barndominiums, cabins, garden suites, bungalows, tiny homes, and multi-family homes.
Our Design Process
Our Architectural Design Process is thoughtfully structured into four phases, ensuring every detail is considered from initial concept to the final construction documents. Beyond the plans, we also offer dedicated support during construction, assisting with permits and providing ongoing communication to both clients and contractors for a smooth and successful build.
Pre-Construction
1// PRELIMINARY DESIGN
We review site conditions, take measurements, and develop initial 2D and 3D design options. This includes an initial meeting to gather your design style, function, and layout preferences. We'll create basic floor plans and elevations for your review.
2// DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
We revise preliminary plans based on your feedback. More detailed space planning and your requested changes are incorporated. A meeting is held to review revised drawings, and we make further changes for your approval. This phase includes three client revisions. Drawings will include fully dimensioned floor plans, all exterior elevations, and basic site plan and cross sections as needed.
3// PRICING
Once the overall design concept is finalized, preliminary pricing can be obtained from contractors. We provide "Issued for Pricing" drawings, which include overall design concepts, dimensions, room details, fixture locations, roof pitches, and an exterior finishes schedule.
4// CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS
Once all final design decisions are made, the Construction Documents are produced. We will provide all necessary drawings required for Building Permit and Construction. These may include:
-
Floor Plans
-
Roof Plan
-
Exterior Elevations
-
Building Sections
-
