Custom Home Design (Private Houses)

An architectural project for a private home where every detail is thoughtfully considered
We design private residential houses — from the initial concept and site placement to full construction documentation, author’s supervision, and support throughout the implementation process.
We work with bespoke projects for private clients who value architectural quality, well-considered layouts, and predictable results.
In our projects, architecture is never form for the sake of form.
It is the logic of space, everyday comfort, the correct performance of structures and engineering systems, and an architectural image that remains relevant over time.
We supervise the project to ensure that the house is built exactly as it was conceived.

Private House Design: A Comprehensive Approach

Work Stages

Pre-Design Analysis
In addition to geodetic and geological surveys required to select the appropriate foundation type and structural solutions, we analyze solar orientation, prevailing winds, topography, and applicable planning regulations: permitted building area, height limits, setbacks, and potential restrictions.
This allows us to position the house on the site correctly, ensure comfort and energy efficiency, and comply with all regulatory requirements — laying a solid foundation for further design.
Technical Brief Development
The technical brief is developed in close collaboration with the client.
Lifestyle scenarios and functional requirements are carefully defined.
Project goals, architectural style, budget, and timeline are clearly documented and fixed at this stage.
Concept Design
We begin by developing floor plans in two dimensions and volume.
The house is placed on the site and studied as a white model (without colors or materials), both in interior and exterior views.
After the volumetric and planning solutions are approved, we refine façade materials and color schemes.
These are presented to the client as photorealistic visualizations for approval.
At this stage, the architectural identity of the future house is fully formed.
Detailed Design
Architectural Design
Based on the approved concept design, a full set of architectural drawings required for construction is developed.
The project includes detailed floor plans, façades, sections, roof plans, architectural details, and specifications.
All solutions are developed with consideration for construction technologies and practical implementation.
Structural Design
At this stage, load calculations are performed taking into account architectural decisions, number of floors, layout structure, climatic and snow loads, and building operation conditions.
Based on these calculations, optimal structural systems, materials, and cross-sections are determined.
Foundations, slabs, load-bearing walls, roofs, staircases, as well as structural details and reinforcement schemes are designed.
All decisions are made with reference to site geology, engineering surveys, and selected construction materials.
Additional Design Sections
As part of a comprehensive project, additional sections necessary for construction and comfortable use of the house can be developed, including:
  • Engineering systems (heating, ventilation, water supply, electrical systems, drainage, etc.)
  • Interior design project
  • Landscape and site development design
All additional sections are coordinated with the architecture and structure to ensure a coherent and fully integrated project.
Supervision
The architect ensures that construction is carried out in accordance with the design.
An author’s supervision log is maintained, recording any deviations from the project and confirming their correction by contractors.
The architect consults builders, answers questions regarding drawings, and documents and approves necessary clarifications.
This process preserves the architectural concept and quality of decisions throughout construction.
Final Photography and Project Completion
Final inspection, operating recommendations, and contractor warranties.
Done
Welcome to your beautiful home!
For me, it is not only about creating a beautiful project.
What truly matters is that the client receives a high-quality service: clear timelines, transparent budgeting, and a stress-free implementation.

Fees and Timeline

Project cost depends on the total floor area, level of documentation detail, number of 3D visualizations, need for full interior design and supervision, as well as the required timeline.
Each project is priced individually.

  • Question:
    Can I order only a concept (sketch) design?
    Answer:
    Yes. The concept design can be ordered as a standalone stage — to form the architectural concept, layouts, and overall image of the house, and to assess scale, spatial logic, and future lifestyle scenarios.
    The project is developed in accordance with real regulations and site parameters, allowing it to be seamlessly developed further into a permit-ready project and full construction documentation when you are ready.
  • Question:
    Is remote collaboration possible?
    Answer:
    Yes. Our workflow is designed so that all stages — from concept to working documentation — can be carried out and approved fully remotely.
    The process is structured and transparent, with clear presentations, regular communication, and formal documentation of all decisions.
    This allows you to stay in full control of the project without being physically present on site.
  • Question:
    Can interior design be ordered together with the architectural project?
    Answer:
    Yes. We develop interior design in direct connection with the house architecture, ensuring a cohesive space without inconsistencies between exterior and interior solutions.
