origin designs - this is how we start

we always start with a design.  as much as we love starting from scratch, it's inefficient and expensive.

we adapt the design to fit you, your site, and your budget.

look through these images.  find one or two you like. 

check out our finished homes and other projects to see the finale: our adapted designs.
