Initial Planning
Our dedicated team will meet you onsite for an initial meeting, whether you are embarking on a renovation project or building a brand new home from the ground up. During this consultation, we will work together to determine your ultimate wishlist items, allowing us to design and create your perfect dream home. In addition, we will thoroughly review all essential requirements, including lot restrictions, setbacks, HOA guidelines, and any historic regulations that may apply to your project. This personalized approach ensures that we not only capture the essence of your vision but also adhere to all necessary regulations, creating a seamless and enjoyable process from the very beginning of your journey.
Floor Plan Layouts
Whether designing a stunning new build or undertaking a comprehensive full renovation, our talented Architectural Design team at The Flippin Designer is wholeheartedly dedicated to bringing your unique vision to life. We begin the process by meticulously compiling a new floor plan layout in 2D, which is thoughtfully complemented by detailed exterior elevations for your approval. This collaborative and interactive process ensures that your valuable input is recognized and seamlessly integrated from the very beginning. Once these essential drawings receive your enthusiastic approval, we confidently transition into creating our engaging 3D Designs, allowing you to visualize the project in a truly immersive and realistic way. After we finalize the captivating 3D designs, we are equipped to proceed to the next important stage, which includes obtaining the necessary conceptual review board approvals. Your dream space is our utmost priority, and we are here to guide you every thoughtful step of the way to make it a reality.
3D Renderings
Our stunning 3D renderings are not merely a concept; they are authentic, tangible representations of the exceptional high-quality products and exquisite finishes we proudly offer. Collaborating closely with our talented Principal Designer, Betsy Glass, our skilled Interior Architects work diligently to bring your dream home oasis to life in vivid detail. By thoroughly focusing on your wish list items and personal preferences, Betsy meticulously crafts your ultimate design vision. Each carefully curated vision board is seamlessly integrated within our vibrant 3D renderings, encompassing everything from thoughtfully designed interior spaces and elegant exteriors to beautifully planned landscape design. This comprehensive approach ensures that every detail is thoughtfully considered and beautifully executed, creating a harmonious and luxurious living experience.
