This design-build home came to life through the shared inspirations of a great client-builder relationship. It started with many ideas, a concept, and a vision brought to the table. After a couple initial meetings, it was time to hit the drawing board. Russell drafted up a set of plans with details carefully designed and directed by the clients, and a vision was born. The style is a perfect representation of the individualism of the homeowners themselves, and the home was built to be customized in a manner that reflects the essence of their personalities.
