It's been a while since my last posting. Been busy over the holidays. Also, I have been working on a couple of new interesting projects. I thought I'd give you a sneak peek at one of them.  The project incorporated a modified design process in order to save time and money.
The design below is a rustic retreat to be constructed on lake property in Tennessee. The client found a plan that was originally designed by John Tee Architect.  The plan did not meet all of their family's needs, but represented a pretty good starting point.  So they purchased the plan and commissioned a major reworking of the design.  I worked in Association with a plan customization company named Architectural Overflow to perform the re-design.  The images below reflect our work.

If you are interested in finding the most possible value in Design then this might be a good approach to consider.  Find a plan that works reasonably well, purchase the plan, then have a good residential Architect adapt the design to truly reflect your needs and your site.  What this really does is gives you a good starting point in the design process and saves time and $$$ exploring concepts that might not work well for you.
