Imagine Your New House

Here are a few Q's that help us get to know & serve you better…

Complete it the best you can — some answers will come easily, some you'll want to talk through, and some you won't know until we're further along. Just be casual about it. Have fun, and answer as much or as little as you feel comfortable with.

ChapterAbout You

First, the basics.

Who are we designing for, and how do we reach you?

Do you prefer visual assistance (3D renderings)?
Are you both comfortable reading house plans?
Do you have a builder in mind?
Any pets?
ChapterGoals & Scope

What's the goal?

This is where you tell us what success looks like — in checkboxes and in your own words.

Dream out loud. What are we building, and what matters most?

Should we design in any accessibility now?

ChapterHome Basics

The shape of it.

Rough numbers are perfectly fine — we'll refine together.

ChapterSite & Lot

Where it will live.

You may not have every answer yet — share what you know.

In a subdivision?
Protective Covenant / HOA?
Inside city limits?
County?
Do you have a plot plan?
Do you know the setbacks?
Architectural Review Board?
Is a variance needed?
On the Historic Registry?
Do you entertain a lot?
Would you entertain more if the home was more conducive?

Casual and marked-up is exactly right — jot the slopes, the views you love (and don't), what must stay, where the drive comes in. Yours can look just like these!
