Why Hire an Architect to design Your Home?
Your home is most likely the greatest financial commitment you’ll ever make. A well-designed custom home comes with greater satisfaction and return on investment. Our experienced architect designs for function and flexibility, ensuring that the house you build today will suit your needs tomorrow.
hiring an architect brings value to your home
Accurate and detailed drawings prepared by an architect will keep costs in line by precisely defining the scope of work. Clearly documenting every material, finish, and specification “locks in” the contractor’s responsibilities and minimizes surprises and misunderstandings. We will be your advocate during construction, using our expertise to provide the oversight that encourages contractors to build economically. We use modern BIM technology in our architectural project development to mitigate risk and protect your investment. Our skill at 3D visualization will allow you to decide on design options and weigh the costs before construction begins.
Why Design Your home with geist architecture?
We start the design process by exploring your lifestyle and getting to know you better. Architects are specially trained to be attuned to the needs of inhabitants and we take this seriously. Our duty is to understand our clients’ requirements and translate their visions into homes that are stylish and functional. As a small studio, we have the time to listen. Unlike large design firms, whose aggressive time budgets and rotating personnel tend to favor a predefined “style”, we are committed to working with clients on whatever design achieves context appropriate homes with intelligent and lasting taste. Our portfolio demonstrates a wide variety of residential architecture styles, including such projects as the “Unplugged” and “Broadleaf” houses.
Unplugged House
The Unplugged House showcases our commitment to functional and cost effective design. It utilizes a simple foundation, roof construction, and building massing. This makes for a very economical house by reducing construction complexities, as well as facilitating energy efficiency. We maximized the house’s potential by employing an open floor plan with large windows, thoughtful spatial composition, and progressive exterior styling.
Broadleaf House
The Broadleaf House highlights regional precedents, reverent integration of building and site, attention to crafted details, and use of native materials. Its dynamic rooflines and fixed stone columns offer a sense of both the ephemeral and the enduring. Designed for socializing, this sanctuary away from the city provides generous gathering places for friends and family, inside and out.
