We are architects with a focus on quality, connection, and collaboration.
Welcome to our corner of the architectural world. Refine Design Architecture is a collaborative studio of designers and architects brought together by a shared passion for thoughtful, well-crafted residential design.
Our team brings diverse experience, perspectives, and strengths to each project, united by a common belief: the best homes are shaped by the people who live in them. We specialize in custom residential architecture because of its deeply personal nature. Every project begins with listening—understanding our clients’ stories, lifestyles, and aspirations—so the design feels authentic, intentional, and uniquely theirs.
We believe great architecture is the result of meaningful collaboration. Our process is hands-on, engaging, and transparent, built around open dialogue between our team and our clients. By working closely together, we’re able to translate ideas into spaces that feel intuitive, warm, and enduring—homes that feel right the moment you walk through the door.
Whether you’re building a custom home from the ground up or re-imagining an existing space, our team is here to guide you through every step of the process. Our goal is simple: to design homes that reflect who you are and how you live—inside and out.
Let’s tell your story through design.
We specialize in designing custom homes that bring your vision to life. Whether your project is a new home, a remodel, or an addition, our team is equipped to provide a wide range of architectural design services that suit your project needs.
‣ Feasibility Study: Before we begin, we verify that your project is allowed in your locality. We review local building and zoning codes to determine maximum height, floor area, building setbacks, critical areas, etc. This will determine a feasible route through the building permitting process.
‣ Custom Home and Floor Plan Design: We incorporate innovative solutions to address any specific needs, from maximizing natural light and incorporating sustainable features to optimizing room layouts and utilizing space efficiently. By combining the client’s ideas with our professional design expertise, we create homes that not only look stunning but also enhance the functionality of each space.
‣ Building Permit Drawings: We undergo the process of obtaining a building permit. This is the required legal document to construct your home, or construct your renovation.
‣ Construction Drawings and Details: Providing construction drawings and details is essential for translating design concepts into actionable plans for builders and contractors. By meticulously detailing every aspect of the design, we ensure that contractors have the information they need to execute the project accurately and efficiently.
‣ Energy Efficient Design and Energy Upgrades: With a focus on sustainable building practices, we guide clients in making choices that reduce energy consumption, lower utility costs, and minimize environmental impact. We utilize design techniques such as passive solar design, insulation and air-sealing strategies, and renewable energy integrations.
‣ Home Additions: Whether you're , creating a dedicated home office, or designing a mother-in-law suite or accessory dwelling unit (ADU), we help transform ideas into beautiful, practical solutions that seamlessly integrate with the current structure.
‣ Interior Design: We can study different material combinations, orientations and alignments to help determine the aesthetic that best suites you. Material, fixture and finish selection is a part of this process and provides guidance with selecting furniture, lighting fixtures, appliances, plumbing fixtures, hardware and finish materials.
‣ Rendering and 3D Visualization: By utilizing cutting-edge technology, we can create detailed, lifelike representations of custom home designs, giving clients a clear sense of the final result. With our 3D modeling of interiors and exteriors, clients can explore every aspect of the design, from the layout and structural elements to finishes, furniture, and lighting.
Each project is different and requires various services to be successful. The necessary and recommended services are tailored on a project-by-project basis to fit your project goals and personal needs.
