Design Services
At Feather + Beam, I provide full residential design services—from initial concepts and 3D visualizations through permitting and construction documentation to construction oversight and project completion. Drawing on my degree in architecture and more than 20 years of hands-on experience, I create personalized spaces that honor your vision and needs. During the design phase, we address and incorporate all relevant national, state, and local regulations to ensure a smooth permitting process in your project’s jurisdiction. For projects requiring licensed professionals, I partner with trusted engineers, surveyors, and MEP specialists to ensure structural safety, full code compliance, and flawless execution. Together, we bring your dream home to life—beautifully and confidently—from initial concepts on paper and computer screens to a tangible, built reality.
New Home Design: From initial concept sketches and 3D visualizations to final details and construction oversight, I guide your new home project every step of the way. We start with your vision—capturing lifestyle needs, harmony with the contextual surroundings, and timeless aesthetics—then develop detailed plans, refine materials and layouts, and provide the documentation needed to navigate permitting and construction successfully. The result is a home designed with care, built safely, and completed beautifully.
Remodels and Additions: Whether expanding your living space or thoughtfully updating an existing home, I handle the full process—from assessing your current layout and goals to conceptual designs, 3D visualizations, detailed drawings, and on-site coordination through completion. My focus is on creating authentic, functional spaces that blend seamlessly with your home’s character, delivering results that feel like they’ve always belonged.
Kitchen and Bath Updates: I specialize in transforming these high-use spaces into beautiful, efficient heart-of-the-home areas. Starting with concept mood boards, space planning, and material selections, I create detailed designs and documentation to guide contractors through installation. The goal is personalized, high-functioning updates that will enhance daily life.
Accessible & Mobility Design: Let me help you continue loving and thriving in the home you already cherish, with thoughtful enhancements that prioritize safety, comfort, and usability for all stages of life and personal circumstances. Having decades of experience in accessible design, I can help with personalized design modifications—such as curbless walk-in showers, roll-under sinks and counters, wider doorways, strategically placed grab bars, lever handles, non-slip flooring, and smart layout adjustments—that support wheelchair or walker mobility, improve ease of movement, and foster greater independence.
ADUs: Accessory Dwelling Units offer flexible, valuable additions to your property—whether for family, rental income, or guest space. I guide you through the entire journey: conceptual planning tailored to zoning and site constraints, 3D renderings for visualization, detailed drawings, and construction follow-through. Working with you to create a well-integrated, charming ADU that is cohesive with—and complements—your main home.
Basement and Attic Conversions: Unlock hidden potential in your home by converting underused basements or attics into livable, inviting spaces like bedrooms, offices, or rec rooms. I begin with feasibility assessments and creative concepts, then provide full documentation for permitting and construction—ensuring safe egress, proper systems, and a comfortable, code-compliant result that brings your vision to life.
Exterior Renovations and Facade Updates: Refresh and elevate your home’s curb appeal and street presence with thoughtful exterior updates—from siding, roofing, porches, and decks to targeted facade improvements like new entry details, window/door changes, trim revisions, or material refreshes. I develop concepts that honor your home’s original style and character, then guide you through material selections, detailed documentation as needed, and construction oversight to deliver durable, authentic, and timeless results that feel beautifully integrated with your overall vision and aesthetic.
