Custom Home Design Services

We may be best known for our innovative stock plans but it's the custom projects that often give us the most satisfaction! This division has always a number of these going at any given time and here we'd love to showcase a few of the more notable ones. Check back often as we plan to add to this collection over time.

Sometimes, after we complete a custom project, the resulting design may show obvious potential as a stock plan and, if so, it may be added to our portfolio. Our customers are made aware of this possibility at the outset. Often when we do this, the plan is modified slightly to make it more universal in nature. An example of this is the home we designed for the 2003 Portland Street of Dreams which is shown here and will become our plan 1410 after some minor changes to make it more suitable for a less steep site.

More often, however, these custom designs are so site specific, or the customer’s needs may be unusual enough, that the resulting designs are not marketable. A good example: one of the homes featured here had a site so steep we were able to put an indoor basketball court directly below the garage; how often is that going to be possible!

I hope that you will enjoy these photographs and consider engaging our creative team for that unique project you may have in mind. We have deliberately not published the names of these customers but, if you recognize any of these homes, we ask that you please respect the privacy of the owners.
