Residential architectural design covers the whole picture: how the home looks, how it's framed, how the rooms connect and how it all gets built. By Design has been producing residential design work across south-central Kentucky for 40 years.

What's included

  • Floor plans for every level, including basements and bonus space
  • Front, rear and side exterior elevations
  • Wall sections, roof framing plans and typical details
  • Door, window and finish schedules
  • Electrical and lighting layouts
  • Foundation plan coordinated with the structural design

One designer from first sketch to final sheet

You work directly with Chuck. Nothing gets handed to a junior drafter across the country, and nothing gets lost between the person who designed it and the person who drew it.

Style that fits the neighborhood

Modern farmhouse, brick ranch, craftsman, traditional two-story — we design to the look you want and to what will hold its value in your market.

Reviews

What clients say about this work.

“Chuck drew the plans for our new home and caught two problems with our lot that nobody else mentioned. He answered the phone every single time we called. The builder said it was the cleanest set of drawings he'd been handed in years.”

Daniel M.

Morgantown, KY · Custom Home Design

“We bought a house plan online and it needed a lot of changes to work on our lot. By Design redrew it, fixed the foundation for our slope, and the permit went through with no comments. Fair price and honest about everything.”

Rebecca T.

Bowling Green, KY · Stock & Modified House Plans

“I'm a contractor and I send Chuck all my drafting. Fast turnaround, drawings are always right, and if I call with a framing question he just answers it. Forty years of experience shows.”
