Custom Home Design

S-IAD specializes in custom home design. Our goal is to collaborate with you to create a home which realizes your dreams of function, aesthetics + sustainability; creating the idyllic home for you and your family.  

Our Design Ethos

Bringing your vision to life

We believe the design of your dream home starts with you. How do you live on a daily basis? What are your patterns and habits? What is most important in your daily life? What are your sustainable design goals? What design aesthetic best speaks to who you are? At S-IAD we first strive to understand who you are. Through intentional

communication and collaboration we start to get to know you. This informs our design expertise to ensure we provide a custom home design which fulfills your dreams. After all, while we are the design professional; our client first approach ensures that in the end, your custom designed home is truly, Yours.

Our Design Process

The design process for a custom home begins with getting to know you. The next steps involve translating that knowledge into a design which truly captures your vision. This is a process which evolves in detail as the project develops. It begins with the creation of two-dimensional diagrams and floor plans which outline your functional program. That is, the rooms and spaces in your home that are integral to the way you live your life. Next we begin to transform your floor plans into a three-dimensional form which captures your vision of the aesthetics of your dream home.

As the project develops, we continue to communicate and collaborate with you to ensure we are on track with your vision. Through the use of photo-realistic renders and videos we are able to show you what your home will truly become. Giving you certainty that what is depicted on the drawings will become everything you have dreamed of when it is constructed in the real world.

Furthermore, at S-IAD sustainability is our passion and we are committed to working with you to achieve the sustainable design goals which are important to you. This could be a Net-Zero or Passive House home, or it could mean simply achieving a home which slightly out performs the baseline. We will meet you where you are and guide you to the best resolution.

We are confident that we can deliver the home of your dreams and look forward to connecting with you to make your vision a reality.
