Family First!

Family Planning is the heart of our design process.

We invite you to take a look at our SMARTPLAN to help you:

Imagine your family's requirements over time. Your children could be in high school or college now... where with they be in ten years time? Perhaps they will have toddlers in tow by then? How might that alter your plans? Perhaps seating for 10 or more at your dining room table?

Design for accessibility ...and 'whatever may come'. Sometimes life throws surprises, like retirement! Plan for the long term.

 Everyone's different!  Sometimes just using the SMARTPLAN tool can reveal how your new home design might help each member of your family feel right at home ...in every season!

Here's one of our spacious kitchens, situated right out in the open where the cook(s) can feel part of the gathering no matter what's going on with the timing of the family meal.

Include wish lists from everyone in this conversation. Just being a part of the planning brings the family together and makes each one a partner in this journey.

Plan for rainy days and kitchen parties all year round.

Sometimes a rainy day is just what your secret little heart desires. If a cottage is for the fun times, it's also for relaxing, perhaps doing little to nothing or simply lounging in bed. When you wake up in a beautiful bedroom like this one, catching a few extra winks can be the best way to start your lazy day away from it all.

Many of our plans feature master suites on the main floor, with busier rooms for children and guests tucked further and more quietly away.
