Custom Home Design
Unique residences shaped around the way you live
A custom home is the most personal architectural expression there is. At SharpMark Designs, we approach each new residence as an opportunity to create something that belongs uniquely to its site and its owners. The process begins with listening and understanding how you live, what you value, and the way you want your home to feel. From there, we translate those conversations into a design that balances beauty, function, and buildability.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
Site analysis and solar orientation studies to position the home for natural light, views, and energy performance.
Conceptual massing studies exploring multiple architectural directions before committing to a single vision.
Full interior architecture, including millwork design, lighting plans, and material palettes curated to your taste.
Coordination with structural and MEP engineers to ensure the design performs as beautifully as it looks.
Construction phase support, including site visits, submittal reviews, and ongoing builder communication.
OUR PROCESS
01 Discovery
Site visit, program development, and deep-dive conversation about your lifestyle, aesthetic preferences, and aspirational goals.
02 Concept
Multiple design directions were presented through sketches, massing studies, and mood imagery to identify the architectural language.
03 Development
Refinement of the chosen direction into a resolved design with floor plans, exterior elevations, and interior spatial studies.
04 Documentation
Comprehensive construction documents, including dimensions, details, specifications, and coordination with consulting engineers.
05 Construction
Ongoing support during the build, answering RFIs, reviewing shop drawings, and ensuring fidelity to the design intent.
Home Additions
Thoughtful expansions that feel like they were always there.
A well-designed addition doesn't announce itself; it feels inevitable. Whether you need a new primary suite, an expanded kitchen and family room, or a detached studio in the garden, we approach additions with deep respect for the existing architecture. The goal is seamless integration, where the new and old elements speak the same language, while the added space transforms the way your home is experienced.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
Careful study of the existing home's architectural language, proportions, materials, rooflines, and details, so the addition feels organic.
Creative solutions for connecting new and old: glass links, courtyard transitions, and material dialogues that honor both eras.
Zoning and code analysis to confirm what is allowed on your property before design begins, avoiding costly surprises.
Interior reconfiguration of adjacent existing spaces so the addition integrates functionally, not just visually.
Phased construction planning that minimizes disruption to your daily life while the work is underway.
OUR PROCESS
01 Assessment
Evaluation of existing conditions, structure, systems, and spatial adjacencies, plus zoning and setback review.
02 Concept
Exploration of additional massing and connection strategies, presented through exterior studies and interior layout options.
03 Development
Detailed design of the addition and any affected existing spaces, with material selections that bridge old and new.
04 Documentation
Construction drawings that clearly delineate new work from existing, with detailed connection details at all transition points.
05 Construction
Regular site observation and builder coordination to ensure the addition is executed with precision and minimal disruption.
Renovations & Remodels
Reimagined interiors that elevate how you live every day.
Renovation is an art of transformation, seeing past what is there to what could be. Whether it's a full gut renovation of a historic townhouse, a kitchen and bath remodel, or a whole-house reconfiguration, we bring a sharp eye for spatial potential and a deep respect for existing character. The best renovations don't erase history; they write the next chapter with clarity and confidence.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
Spatial reprogramming: rethinking flow, adjacencies, and room relationships to make the home work harder and feel larger.
Historic sensitivity: preserving original details worth keeping such as moldings, staircases, fireplace surrounds: while modernizing systems and layouts.
Kitchen and bath design with obsessive attention to ergonomics, storage, lighting layers, and material durability.
Integration of modern systems such as HVAC, electrical, smart home into older structures without compromising architectural character.
Finish and fixture specification that balances timeless quality with personal style, from hardware to stone to lighting.

Construction Documents
Meticulous drawings that leave nothing to chance.
Construction documents are where design intent meets buildable reality. A beautiful concept is only as good as the drawings that communicate it. At SharpMark Designs, we produce thorough, well-organized drawing sets that give builders everything they need to price and construct the work with confidence. Our documents are known for their clarity, completeness, and attention to the details that make the difference between a good build and a great one.

(03) - HOW WE WORK
Phase 01
Discovery & Programming
Every project begins with listening. We meet with you to understand your lifestyle, aspirations, budget, and timeline. We walk the site together, discuss what inspires you, and establish the guiding principles that will shape every decision that follows.
Phase 02
Concept Design
Ideas take form through sketches, massing studies, and spatial diagrams. We explore multiple architectural directions, testing each against your program, site conditions, and aesthetic preferences. This stage is iterative and collaborative — your feedback drives the evolution.
Phase 03
Design Development
The chosen concept is refined into a resolved architectural design. Floor plans are dimensioned, exterior elevations are detailed, and interior spaces are studied in three dimensions. Material palettes, fixture selections, and millwork concepts are developed in parallel.
Phase 04
Construction Documents
The design is translated into a comprehensive set of drawings and specifications that guide pricing, permitting, and construction. Every dimension, detail, and specification is documented with precision to ensure the builder has everything needed to execute the work faithfully.
Phase 05
Bidding & Negotiations
We help you identify qualified builders, issue the drawing set for competitive bids, and support you through the evaluation process. We review proposals side by side, clarify scope, and help you select the builder who offers the best combination of quality, value, and rapport.
Phase 06
Construction Administration
Our involvement continues through construction. We make regular site visits, review submittals and shop drawings, answer builder questions, and verify that the work aligns with the design intent. We are your advocate from groundbreaking to final walkthrough.
Every project follows a structured yet flexible process — six phases that take a project from the first conversation through the final walkthrough. While the scope and pace vary from project to project, the rigor and care remain constant.
The design
journey.
