John Sayler P.E. Custom Home Design

A home can be so much more than an assemblage of bricks, sticks, and blocks. Whether large or small, a home should express comfort, beauty, individuality, safety—a place where family can gather, families can be raised, and friends are welcome. It can be gracious without being pretentious. Such qualities, practically expressed, are what makes a house a home.

A home can be so much more than an assemblage of bricks, sticks, and blocks. Whether large or small, a home should express comfort, beauty, individuality, safety—a place where family can gather, families can be raised, and friends are welcome. It can be gracious without being pretentious. Such qualities, practically expressed, are what makes a house a home.

We take great care in the design of a place that is to be built for you as an individual. Many factors, often overlooked, can enhance the day-to-day enjoyment of your home. Do the rooms brighten with natural light on sunny spring days, but have sufficient roof overhang to keep the hot summer sun at bay? Have the rooms been designed for sufficient cross-ventilation, to catch the light breeze and cut down on air-conditioning needs—or are the sides of the house windowless? Is there a good mixture of large open spaces to share with friends, along with quiet cozy spaces for sitting and reading when you want some quiet time alone? Is the back of the house as attractive as the front? Have the windows and doors been planned to take advantage of the attractive outdoor environment?

Good design need never be bland. Thoughtful architectural detail can enhance the appearance of a house, but the qualities described above can be applied to even the most modest of dwellings. Sunlight and summer breezes are not expensive! The largest home can be grand and gracious without being overbearing, and the smaller house can feel larger with the proper layout. The right home design and planning, designed specifically for your lot or land, can make all the difference in the world. Your home should suit your family, look like it belongs to the neighborhood, and fit the land on which it is built.
