Our design philosophy
|
We believe your home is meant to be more than just a physical structure; it can be an essential cornerstone of your life, nurturing your soul and enriching your everyday existence. Within its walls, you create memories, share laughter, and foster relationships that shape the narrative of your life journey.
|
|
Your home tells the story of who you are, what matters most to you, and the life you’re creating in the future. It provides the foundation for growth, connection, and expression, offering a space where you can truly be yourself with those you love the most. As a steadfast pillar of support, your home is your greatest ally along your path toward a life of joy and fulfillment.

In our design process, we take the time to delve deeply into understanding your lifestyle, meticulously considering every facet of your unique life. This personalized approach enables us to craft custom homes that fully supports your life now and seamlessly adapts to support your evolving life in the future.

Overview of our design services
|
Getting to know you
In order to design a home that will truly be supportive of your unique life, we first need to get to know you, your family, the people you will share your home with, and everything that’s important to you. This begins in our very first phone call and is supported by our in-depth design questionnaire, followed up by a 2-hour initial consultation with Jenny in which she listens to your story and tunes into the specific needs of your intended spaces. |

Getting to know your land - Site Assessment
Jenny has a sixth sense for capitalizing on views, maximizing buildable space, and designing a home to interface with nature. During an in-person visit of your property, Jenny walks the land and lays eyes on the natural features that are to be enhanced. She considers the lay of the land, location and direction of best views, the path of the sun across the property, sunny/shady/windy areas, the existing trees to be saved and any special natural features noted. |
|
Conceptual Design
Jenny hand draws sketches of the preliminary design concepts, including sketches of the initial floor plans, exterior elevations, and a site plan concept. This is an organic and creative discovery process in which she intuits and interprets potential design solutions for your home. As you explore concepts together, she develops a personal connection to your project unbound by the confines of a computer program. |
|
Design Development
Preliminary design concepts are entered into CAD and the details are fine-tuned to create a more comprehensive set of design drawings. These CAD drawings include floor plans, exterior elevations, a roof plan, and a site plan. |
|
Construction Drawings
Based on the final approved design development drawings, we create detailed construction drawings that provide coherence among your entire build team. Collaboration with your chosen team during this final stage is the most supportive way to fill out all remaining details. |
