Award Winning Architect Offers New Collection

Coastal Home Plans works diligently to connect those of you looking for great home design with architects and designers who can deliver plans with a coastal flair. It wasn't too long ago when the only path to achieving this was to hire an architect to commission a custom design. As many have discovered, however, working with a full-service custom architectural firm isn't always in the budget. This month's Featured Architect comes from the custom design world, offering his clients highly personalized designs that have won national recognition for their artistry and functionality. While his design firm remains very active in creating these types of designs, he also believes that budget should not stand in the way of having a well designed home. To this end, this award winning custom design firm has introduced a new collection of ready to build home designs that were created using the same thoughtful process used to create their custom designs.

“These home plans cater to a segment of the marketplace that appreciates livability and design aesthetics, but may not have the opportunity to choose the custom home design option,” he says.

With the current move to smaller, more efficient homes that are both less expensive to build and easier to maintain, this new collection of designs fill a void by giving homeowners the architectural detail and functionality that is often missing in the typical stock plan inventory. This concept has been a long time in the making for this architectural firm. Over the years, people would contact them wanting to purchase plans for a house they saw featured in a magazine, but because these projects were highly customized for individual clients, the home designs were not for sale. With the introduction of this new collection, great design is now accessible for those of us with tighter budgets.

The plans cater to the firm's area of expertise: waterfront and coastal homes. Many of the plans are oriented to take full advantage of water views with their large windows and porches. This practical, purposeful approach offers years of superior livability for the people who live in their designs, and can improve property values and resale. The homes in this collection are versatile and varied, but with a coastal cottage charm. They are at home anywhere that sand, surf and sun converge.
