Expert perspectives on luxury custom home design, construction documents, and the building process — from a designer who has done both.

Perspectives from Both Sides of the Blueprint

Most writing about custom home design comes from people who have only designed. Our insights draw from more than 30 years of design and building experience. The result is a perspective that addresses the questions homeowners actually face — not the ones designers wish they would ask.

Whether you are in the early stages of thinking about a custom home, actively planning a build, or navigating the design process with another firm, we hope these articles offer practical, honest guidance.
