A preliminary sketch or plan of an idea produced before something is made.

Concept Sketches Summary

The design process traditionally begins with a meeting to discuss your desired home style and features. Based on your requirements, we'll sketch design concept possibilities for your review. From floor plans to home exterior views (elevations) and interior room layouts, this stage of design is where your dream home comes to life!

Sketches generated for this preliminary design phase are evaluated and then used for formal selection of the home's "style", features, and special amenities.

Since 1967 we have brainstormed, drafted, and designed an amazing variety of luxurious floor plans - from luxury villas and townhomes to elaborate estates with over 10,000 finished square feet.

Contact us today to arrange a consultation to review more detailed samples from our portfolio or work with a specialist to draft and sketch a custom exterior and floor plan that perfectly meets your needs.

Front View Elevations

Front view elevations or exterior views prove very useful for identifying the home "style" (Traditional, Mediterranean, Cottage, etc.) features and details that you desire most for your new home.

Note: Since "Luxury" does not describe a design style but rather a lifestyle, our home designs tend to be an eclectic representation of several architectural styles.

Floor Plans

Homes with a luxury floor plan may feature amenities ranging from separate guest suites, servant's quarters, libraries, home theatres, pool houses, garden settings, and water features intended to provide the ultimate in personal comfort, convenience, or pleasure.

From luxury villas and townhomes to elaborate estates, we sketch floor plans with layout arrangements and amenities according to your specifications.
