Custom Home Design
A custom home is the most personal thing most people will ever build. Our architecture studio starts with how you actually live — not a plan library — and develops a design that fits your site, your budget, and the way light moves across your lot.
Why clients choose us
Site-driven design
Orientation, views, grade, setbacks, and prevailing breezes shape the plan before the first wall goes down on paper.
Budget-aware from concept
We attach real construction costs to the design as it develops, so you never fall for a house you cannot build.
Full construction documents
Permit-ready drawings with the structural, MEP, and Title 24 coordination already resolved.

Answered honestly
If your question is not here, ask us directly. We would rather have the awkward conversation early than the expensive one later.
What does custom home design cost? +
Architectural fees typically run 8–15% of construction cost depending on complexity and level of detail. We provide a fixed fee proposal after an initial consultation.
Do you design in a particular style? +
No signature style imposed on clients. We have delivered modern, coastal, Spanish, craftsman, and transitional homes — the design should belong to you and your site.
Can I see the design in 3D before you build? +
Yes. We produce 3D views and walkthroughs during design development so you can make decisions from something better than a floor plan.
