Design
The design of this custom home blends traditional architectural character with a clean, balanced façade. The stone exterior, detailed cornices, and symmetrical gables create a timeless appearance, while large modern windows bring an open and contemporary feel.
The front porch with upper balcony adds vertical emphasis and enhances curb appeal.
Inside, the layout was carefully planned for functional family living—open-concept spaces, well-defined circulation, and strategic window placement maximize natural light throughout the home.
Every elevation was developed in 3D to ensure visual harmony from all sides, including the rear walkout design with expansive glazing and outdoor terraces.
Walkthrough
This interactive walkthrough provides a realistic preview of the home’s interior layout and spatial flow. From the open-concept kitchen and family room to the upper-level bedrooms and rear walkout, the 3D experience showcases how each space connects and functions in daily use. It allows clients to explore the design at their own pace, understand proportions, and visualize the final built environment before construction begins.
3D Model
The 3D model provides a detailed visual representation of the home's exterior form, materials, and proportions. It allows clients to examine the architectural massing from all angles and understand how the stone façade, gables, windows, and entry features come together as a cohesive design. This model also helps verify sightlines, elevation balance, and overall curb appeal before the final drawings are completed.
Construction
The construction phase of the Findlay Blvd custom home showcases the transformation from architectural plans to a fully realized structure. Starting with precise framing and structural alignment, each stage reflects careful coordination between trades and ongoing design oversight. As the building took shape, key elements such as the gabled rooflines, window placement, stone façade, and columned front entry became visible—demonstrating how closely the final build follows the original design vision.
Regular site reviews, updates to details, and close communication with contractors ensured the home was constructed with accuracy, quality, and long-term performance in mind.
Completed Project Exterior
The completed exterior of the Findlay Blvd custom home highlights the successful transition from concept to final build. The traditional stone façade, sharp gabled rooflines, and detailed window trims give the home a refined and timeless appearance. The columned front porch and upper balcony create a strong architectural focal point, enhancing curb appeal and emphasizing the home’s symmetrical design.
Attention to detail is visible in every element—from the stonework and soffits to the clean integration of windows and railings. The finished landscape and driveway complete the exterior, showcasing a cohesive and elegant custom home that closely reflects the original architectural vision.
Our Process
We begin with a detailed site review, zoning analysis, and measurements to understand all project constraints. From there, we develop initial design concepts, 3D exterior models, and floor plan layouts tailored to the client’s goals. Once the design direction is approved, we prepare full architectural permit drawings and coordinate with structural, mechanical, and grading consultants.
Throughout the entire process, we guide the client through every step—answering questions, managing revisions, coordinating with the city, and ensuring a smooth path from design to permit approval.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the design process take?
Most custom home designs take 4–8 weeks, depending on complexity and how many revisions are required.
Do you handle the permit submission?
Yes. We prepare all necessary drawings and can submit the application to the city on your behalf.
Can the design be revised later?
Absolutely. Revisions are a normal part of the process until the final design is approved.
Do you provide 3D renderings?
Yes. Each project includes 3D exterior views—and interior models when needed—to help visualize the design before construction.
Can you coordinate with my builder or contractor?
Yes. We regularly collaborate with builders throughout construction to answer questions and adjust details as needed.
What if the city has comments?
We handle all responses and revisions required by the city until the permit is approved.
