The design process of a unique home starts with a concept and is refined into construction blueprints over a number of different steps. Often clients start with ideas, sketches or pictures that they have collected over a period of time that show the look and features in which they are interested. The use of modern building materials and construction techniques will usually allow the floor plan to be integrated with the desired exterior look.

Site specific design considers the actual design of the house and its placement on the property. This is incorporated into construction blueprints which need to conform with architectual guidelines and meet permiting and engineering requirements as well as local building codes.
