01 / The approach
Begin with how the home is used.
A renovation might open up a cramped kitchen, create another bedroom, or improve the connection to a porch. The design begins with how the rooms are used and what the existing property allows.
We establish which drawings are needed and where the project requires a builder, engineer, or other specialist. The design agreement identifies the work included; construction arrangements and approvals are handled separately.
02 / The work
Home Design & Renovation Planning
Additions & expansions
Planning additional space in relation to the existing home. Proportions, access, structural needs, and the connection between old and new require review.
Balcony & porch design
Exterior extensions considered with the building and landscape. Sun, shade, privacy, structure, and drainage all influence the design.
Interior layouts
Room arrangements that account for doors, furniture, and everyday movement. The design agreement identifies the drawings and material selections included.
Accessory dwelling units
ADU planning that considers access, privacy, utilities, and the available footprint. Site-specific rules and approval requirements must be reviewed before a design is finalized.
Design documentation & coordination
Drawings and design information prepared for the agreed scope. Builder and specialist responsibilities, including any engineering, are established separately as required.
03 / Before getting started
Start with the existing conditions.
Bring any existing plans, a survey, photographs, and a description of the proposed change. Note the rooms that feel cramped, difficult to move through, or disconnected from the way the home is used.
04 / A few useful answers
Planning questions.
Does the home-design service include construction?
The home-design service covers design and planning. Construction requires a separate agreement with the builder or contractor. Confirm the drawings, coordination, and other work included before starting a design project.
Can both interior and exterior changes be planned?
Yes. GO Designs plans interior layouts and exterior changes, including additions, porches, balconies, and ADUs. The drawings needed depend on the existing property and the proposed changes.
Does an ADU concept confirm permission to build?
No. A concept is a starting point. Site rules, utilities, structural requirements, and applicable approvals need to be reviewed for the property before construction can be planned.
