You have choices for your home design, so here are some things to consider. > ## **Realistic, Well Planned Spaces![Prairie-Fireplace](https://artisanhome.design/hs-fs/hubfs/Prairie-Fireplace.jpg?width=235&height=339&name=Prairie-Fireplace.jpg)** > > Artisan isn't your typical house plan reseller with 300 generic house plans for sale that all blend together.  We also aren't a "design with no limits" firm that creates a masterpiece that you can't afford to build.  Instead, my focus is on designing well planned spaces that are **realistic** and fit your needs, wants, and budget. > > ## **Designed for Your Unique Needs** > > While I'm not an architect I've been designing homes and spaces for clients for over 20 years.  My designs are focused on how you will actually live in the space, with added details that give the home character and an inherent comfort.   Influenced by many of the [Not So Big](https://susanka.com/)© design concepts that emphasize quality materials and details over size, I tend to focus on homes in the 1000 - 3000 square foot range that are well thought-out and right-sized for your **unique** lifestyle. > > ![Prairie-Stone](https://artisanhome.design/hs-fs/hubfs/Projects/Prairie-Ellis/Prairie-Stone.jpeg?width=303&height=170&name=Prairie-Stone.jpeg) > > ## **Working As Your Guide** > > My design approach is **consultative** - first gathering your needs, wants, and dreams - then combining those with creative options for you to review.  I'll take into account best practices from building science, building codes, and of course your budget, as guidelines for the design to create your plans.  Then as your guide through the process, we'll review the plans and options that make sense to you, refine the details, and help get you ready to move forward with a project that you're excited about.  > >   > > ## Services On Your Terms > > Just as each client situation is different, my approach to the project is customized to match your needs. I've worked with clients in all different types of arrangements based on what they need. > > - Planning & Budgeting Only ... for when you just want to figure out what's possible/feasible > - Concept Plans ... for when you're not ready to build, but want to get a design to help clarify your goals > - Stock Plans & Semi-Custom Plans ... you've found one of my existing plans that works for you (or almost) > - All-In ... you're ready to get started building and want plans, interior elevations, and construction documents > > So no matter where you're at in your planning, I can help you move your project forward to the next step.  It all starts with an initial free consultation first to make sure we're a good fit for each other.
