homeMADE Design is committed to excellence in bringing your custom home plans to life quickly and cost-effectively. I uphold a standard of integrity bound by fairness, honesty, and responsibility. My distinction is the level of service I bring to customers; I am watchful of my customers interests and make their concerns the basis of my practice. Knowledge of the trade combined with creativity and experience is what makes my service stand apart.

"Working with David was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. From our very first meeting, he listened carefully to our ideas, needs, and lifestyle, then transformed them into a design that exceeded all our expectations. His creativity, attention to detail, and ability to blend functionality with beautiful design truly set him apart. Throughout the process, David was communicative, professional, and patient—always quick to respond to questions and open to feedback. He helped us navigate every stage of the design process. What really impressed us was his ability to balance aesthetics with practicality; every space feels intentional and welcoming. The final result is a home that feels completely “us,” yet far more inspiring than we could have imagined. We constantly get compliments from friends and neighbors on the design. If you’re looking for an architect who combines vision, skill, and genuine care for his clients, David is the one to call. We couldn’t recommend him more highly! -The Curbows Thank you for designing our dream home!"

Architects questions, answered by experts

The design phase varies by project size and complexity; initial ideas can take weeks, while extensive plans may extend to months for complete detailing.

Architects bring expertise in spatial design, efficiency, aesthetics, and safety, translating complex needs into feasible, regulatory-compliant design plans.

Consulting the architect of your house is not the best way to determine when it was built. Many homes are built by developers or builders, so there may not be a specific architect to track down—especially if you have a very old house. Instead, it’s best to rely on local government records.

Italianate architecture is a reinterpretation of Renaissance styles, combining elements of Italian farmhouses and villas with Victorian materials and construction. This home style emerged in the Victorian era, gaining popularity in the U.S. in the mid-to late-1800s. The style came about in response to what many then viewed as the too-rigid and stuffy Classical style designs. 

The best height for a pizza oven is one that allows the user to easily see what’s going on inside and comfortably place pies without having to crouch over. In general, that means the opening should be between 36 and 48 inches off the ground. By contrast, the height of the dome is totally up to your preference, because different heights create different results. Shorter domes are better for creating Neapolitan-style pies, whereas taller domes are ideal for NY-style recipes.
