I decided to try this despite the controversy on the subject. Here is a plan I drew (to be built mind you) all on SketchUp and LayOut. I quite enjoyed it. I had a few bugs and kinks with LayOut which kept kicking me out, but I forged thru them. Lets just say I will [...]

The buzz lately especially within the bounds of this website has been small house plans. I am intrigued with the response my few really small plans have received. So I have created this little beauty to add to the hype. You can purchase this plan immediately here. Interested in this plan but not ready to [...]

First of all I came across this website sometime last week and I loved it. If you venture to it check out the videos of Jay’s personal home. I dont know Jay-never even heard of him or his homes until I found his website. I love what he is doing.
Personally I am a huge fan [...]

This plan is based off of an idea I have in my head of what some fairytale cottages must have been like. A big idea in a smaller package. 2 bedrooms and a larger bunk room in the basement. A built in corner dining table takes little space in the kitchen. The rotunda staircase adds [...]

Coming soon… This Mediterranean plan is hot off the boards. It features a full walk-out basement, with home theater and kitchenette. Main level has open foyer and two-story studio/apartment. This plan will be ready to order in a few days. Check it out here.

This plan was designed for the health conscious person who cares about his/her Eco-footprint. This design is open for solar day-lighting with proper placement on lot, year-round herb gardening in the atrium, the ability to (if local law permits) apply rain catchment systems, discretely hide solar photovoltaic panels and/or solar water heating panels, and do [...]

We were just informed that one of our homes will be featured in the 2009 St. George Parade of Homes. Here is a sneak peek. This home is 5000 sq.ft. give or take. It was designed for a local builder as his personal residence. Be sure to catch this one during the parade. Yes with [...]

This plan is something that I came up with for a fairly narrow and deep lot. It provides great seclusion for kids and allows for a home office that can accommodate clients while maintaining privacy and includes it own bathroom (could be used as a casita or mother in law suite). Side entry double car [...]

This plan is a great four bedroom home with lots of outdoor living space, a large great room, separate formal room, small computer nook, and ready for a great view.
Purchase this 2498 sq. ft. Southwest style house as is for $200.00 (price includes site plan design and one copy on 24×36 inch paper)

Here are my ideas of using Solar Energy in an Environment like ours:
Solar Water Heaters- It is my understanding that on average 25% of your utility bill is derived from your water heater.
Solar Pool Heating- If you have a pool like it or not it is being heated by Solar Energy, some products help your [...]

Our process is complex; complex for your benefit. Behind the scenes our team puts together all the puzzle pieces; leveraging ideas, technology, innovations and experience.
Regardless of the assignment, budget, and or expectations we are savvy enough to accommodate it and broad enough to exceed it.

OK the parade has come and gone and sadly this is the first year that I did not check them all out. I did however manage to check a few of them out though and the ones that I saw were great. Innovative and livable. I have said it before and I will say it again landscaping makes a good home great. So props to my brother of DC Landscapes for a great job.

The style of this Mountain home is derived from an old mining camp lodge. Enjoy those long summer days out on the terrace then let the dancing flames in the outdoor fireplace take over your evenings.
