The latest in the Gravitas Design Series: The Santee

The Santee is a custom home we designed for a couple about to retire to the Owyhee Desert for some quiet and peaceful living. This home has a open floor plan with a Main Level Owner’s Suite. The Upper Level accomodates the guests and open area for a home office. Sunsets from the lookout will be unbeatable over the desert. This space will also be a fun hideout for the Grandkids. If you want to use this, or any of our plans free of copyright infringement, we have affordable and easy licensing options whether or not you use our full design services.

The latest in the Gravitas Design Series: The Gallatin

The Gallatin plan below is a home we designed for a client in Idaho. This is an efficient single level plan with very modern lines and contemporary building materials.  The Owner’s Suite has a large split bath with integrated walk in closets. The Owner’s baths share a connection through the steam shower. The materials for this project speak to the high desert site and the low western roofline is a response to the need for protection from the late afternoon sun and rangeland fires that can blow in from the west. Many of you are familiar with our log and timberframe vernacular but every once in a while we want to show you something differnet from our varied design experience.

Our scope of work runs from design through construction drawings and can include site analysis, permitting, HOA approvals, stamped engineering, interior design, renderings, animations and sun shadow studies.  If you would like to use our plans in your marketing material we can personalize the plan book to include your company logo and information. We have just introduced a new format that includes links to a fly around movie of each plan and professional renderings. This provides a way to increase your presence in the industry and instantly upgrade your marketing efforts at no cost to you. Please contact us for more information on this service, for “paper specs” or visit our FAQ page online for more details.
