When you imagine your dream home, you’re not just thinking about walls, rooms, and square footage—you’re imagining how you’ll live there. That’s why our design discovery process always starts with you, not the floor plan.

​

What is the Design Discovery Process?

​

This is the first and most important step of designing a custom home. Instead of diving right into layouts and finishes, we begin with a conversation:

​

• How do you spend your mornings?

• Do you host family gatherings?

• Do you need space for hobbies, fitness, or working from home?

• What frustrates you most about your current home?

​

These details help us uncover not just what your home should look like, but how it should work for you every day.

​

Lifestyle Comes First, Floor Plan Follows

​

Every family is unique—and so is every home we design. For example:

​

• Entertainers might need a spacious open-concept kitchen, a large dining area, and seamless flow to outdoor spaces.

• Busy families might benefit from a mudroom with built-in storage, a homework nook, or a laundry room near the bedrooms.

• Remote workers may need a dedicated office with privacy and natural light.

• Empty nesters might prioritize single-level living and smaller, more efficient spaces that are still welcoming to guests.

​

By focusing on lifestyle first, we ensure your floor plan is practical, comfortable, and built to last.

​

Why It Matters

​

A floor plan designed around your lifestyle:

​

• Reduces daily frustrations (everything is where you need it).

• Maximizes your investment (you’re not paying for unused or awkward spaces).

• Creates a sense of “home” from day one.
