After being a general contractor for the past 30 years, building, remodeling, and drawing plans for a variety of architectural styles, I am now focusing on the drafting and design aspect. I always seek to make the most of the space at hand and try to make your needs and wishes a reality, at least on paper. I also try to make the most of any good views, solar gain, and make the structure as cost effective as possible and still be strong and pleasing to the eye. I also help with getting your project through the planning and building departments, if desired and include any needed revisions. Feasibility Studies, to do research and see what will be involved with a project before committing to it, is another service I provide. Earthquake or Seismic Retrofits and Improvements can be done too. I always do my best to give you quality work at a reasonable price.

"Elliot linn was very helpful in getting the design made for my garage conversion into a studio apartment. His experience allowed him to offer sound advice and wise choices in floor planning. He showed up on time for our appointments and delivered the plans in a timely manner. He was conscientious and capable."

Architects questions, answered by experts

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

It is technically possible to draw your own blueprints, but the process is extremely involved and really demands help from an expert. A professional architect has an understanding of design elements, interior design, the functionality of different rooms in a home, and how everything from furniture, outlets, and light switches should be laid out to serve you and your family best. Hiring an architect for blueprints can get expensive, but it’s the most responsible way to begin a new construction project. If you’re keen on DIYing, you could consider starting the process and then having a professional take over.

With proper training and experience, reading blueprints is fairly straightforward and not very difficult. If you don’t have the necessary knowledge to interpret the symbols, abbreviations, and other notations used, blueprints may not make sense. Learning to read blueprints can help you understand the construction process and keep you more involved and informed when you’re building a house.

Aging-in-place universal design features can make your home more comfortable for family members who are older or have disabilities; they can also make your home safer. In addition, adding a universal-design bathroom can boost your home’s overall resale value.

You can draw your own house plans using three-dimensional modeling software, but in most cases, you’ll need an architect to draw up the final plans. Architects understand local building regulations and requirements, so their plans will be necessary for getting permits approved, and they’ll also ensure your home is structurally sound. DIY house plans can be a good place to start to help visualize your project, but you should always defer to a professional before trying to proceed with the project.
