Demystifying home
design
Designing and building your own home can be one of the most fulfilling and impactful life projects. But it is also one of the most expensive things most people will do in their lives. And if you're like other homeowners, you are experiencing the process for the first time. What is it that an architect will actually do or how can you select a quality contractor? How can you ensure you get the house you want and avoid pitfalls along the way? We've seen clients sign multi-million dollar contracts without doing their research on what to expect. We wanted to change that.
Design should be accessible and enjoyable for all. We are a group of architects and home builders on a mission to make home creation joyful again. Learn what to expect from your home design and build process before you start!
