Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a custom home different from a standard new build?
A custom home is designed specifically for your lifestyle, site, and aesthetic preferences. Unlike standard new builds, which follow pre-set floor plans, a custom home is completely unique—designed to maximize your views, natural light, and indoor-outdoor flow. In Newport Beach, this often means creating a home that embraces coastal breezes, sunlight, and seamless connections to outdoor living spaces.
Can you design homes that fit within HOA or neighborhood design guidelines?
Yes. We regularly work with homeowners’ associations (HOAs) and local design review boards throughout Newport Beach and Orange County. Our team ensures that your home complies with neighborhood character requirements and architectural guidelines while still reflecting your personal design vision.
Can you help me remodel or expand my existing Newport Beach home?
Yes. In addition to new construction, we specialize in whole-home remodels, additions, and renovations. Whether you’re updating a classic coastal home or expanding your living space, our architectural team creates designs that blend seamlessly with your home’s original character while improving flow, light, and functionality.
