Starting is often the hardest part.

A lot of what I share here are floor plans and house models.

The same tools also work for custom pieces, built-ins, and one-off designs.

This started as a simple 3D model and was rendered to show material, depth, and scale ahead of the build.

Mudrooms matter in Montana.

Every house uses them a little differently, so the layout needs to match real life.

Sometimes that means a simple pass-through.
Sometimes it means laundry nearby or a bathroom close.

There’s no single right answer.

Most of my projects start with something like this:

A rough sketch and a conversation about what matters most to the homeowner.

From there, I turn it into a clear, buildable floor plan.

You don’t need everything figured out to begin — just a starting point.

One of my favorite things is hearing about & creating personal and functional spaces for my clients. Everyone is different and uses their home in slightly different ways.

Here's a 2 story home that I drew up a few years ago for a client.

Using 3D digital modeling, I presented several ideas to create elevated windows through the Great Room and provide added interest to the exterior.

Which elevation would you have chosen - A, B or C?

Oh, how times have changed!

I don't have the exact year on this set of plans, but I would place it in the late-1800s to early-1900s.

Can you imagine getting a full set of plans today for $5? And to build it for less than $3,000?😁

But watch out - If you buy this set of plans, notice there is only a single bathroom for 3 stories and 4 bedrooms!

Would you buy this set of plans and make your own edits?

Good Morning! Thank you for to the new (and old) followers!

As a single person business, I get a bit overwhelmed trying to keep up with social media, so I'm hoping you'll forgive the sporadic posts. 😁

This is one of the first 3D models I created years ago. With the introduction of AI tools, I'm able to filter it through a photorealistic generator so you can better envision what your home could look like.
